As we are heading into the warmer months, the biggest complaint about wearing shoes is how uncomfortable they can be to wear when the temperature rises. Now a Chinese company called Guangzhou Tianfu Electronic Company has created several fashionable men's shoes that are meant to look great and feel great at the same time through temperature regulation.
Guangzhou Tianfu Electronic Co. is a professional high-tech enterprise, specializing in developing, manufacturing and marketing electrothermal series products. Their electronic shoe line known as CEO shoes has complementary-symmetry metal-oxide-semiconductor or CMOS chips, which controls temperature at a comfortable level. According to an article on Fibre2Fashion it, "Emits biological energy according to body temperature that helps in normal biological functions, improves endocrine balance, increases metabolism, stimulates cell activity."
The Tianfu website shows the shoe line's leading functions to be heating, drying, sterilization and health care. I think it's amazing to get all of those benefits simply by wearing a shoe and they have resolved the age old issue of cold feet in the fall and winter months and hot feet in the spring and summer months. Besides the technology side of the shoe, the fashion design of the shoes itself was taken into account, not substituting function over fashion or making any comprises in style.
Unfortunately for women, it appears that the CEO Shoes are only available to men at this time. This shoe is said to be the most expensive in the domestic market, but sometimes the ultimate in comfort comes at a price.
