CES2007: Gravity Defyer Shoes

January 18, 2007 by poeloq |

However invited gravity was having a bad day, at least in my books. That is why mankind has always dreamed of jetpacks in Sci-Fi and many other kinds of defying gravity. As a gadget lover I try to attend as many electronic trade shows as possible, but due to my previous geographic location was not possible to attend as many as I wished. So the only thing left was visiting as many stores as often as possible. Sadly, walking can get quite uncomfortable after awhile, which takes us back to the gravity problem.
“Alexander Innovation Wizard” of GadgetUniverse has now come up with what he presented at the CES: Gravity Defyer Shoes. It might not make you float or even fly, but it seems to make walking easier - and they don’t look too bad either. The reactions seemed to be quite positive:

    Defyer shoes in the “Gadget Universe” catalogue sound sooo good. Glad they will be for women soon. BUT, many of us looking for such a shoe need a DEEP TOE BED —just BECAUSE our feet ARE tender and painful.
    Anything you can do for us????
    PLEASE consider this option.

    Thank you,
    Sharon

    I saw the ad for Gravity Defyer shoes in the SkyMall magazine. I am very interested in seeing the ladies’ line. Is it available yet? The ad stated, “Female Shoes are Finally Here!!” I would like to know how I can see the shoes for females. Please contact me with this information.

    Thank you,
    Susan

    the cosmetic styling not as good as the real one. the step up from the sole of the hell section make the heel part less stable laterally considering the spring effect.If flared heel is not cosmetically attractive at least should have wider heel to improve the bilateral stability. suggest adding scaphoid pads for longitudinal arch support and more evenly Wt distribution over plantar surface.

    I just want to know if these shoes are actually being produced or not. I have tried ordering the sport shoe version of gravity defyers and have been waiting for months.

    I received a pair of gravity defyer sport shoes and am THOROUGHLY disappointed. The shoes fell far short of the outrageous claims made by the retailer. Sure, the heel bed is comfy, but not $130 comfy. The toe is way too narrow and chafes my toes. The insole stains my socks red and black. I do not feel like a “kangaroo” or “flying” and indeed, there is no upward push that the shoes exert on the feet. The pressure valve is too small and creates a tea-kettle effect, causing the shoes to whistle with each step. In short, they are nothing but an over-priced gimmick. Furthermore, I have never seen such poor, shoddy customer service as I have seen at gadgetuniverse. Zero stars.

    I waited 35 days but this shoes are so great, why they ae not sold in stores yet?

    Does anyone know where to see these in a retail store, I don’t like to buy shoes without trying them on first for looks and feel.

    I would like to know more info about anti gravitational shoes and possibility of markerting in Australia.

    I just purchased a pair of Gravity Defyer shoes. I bought them from the SkyMall store. They are comfortable and look nice. However, they have a noticeable squeak when you walk. I will continue to wear them but people quickly notice that your shoes are making noise when you walk by them. If I had known that they squeak when you walk, I would not have bought them.

    My mom purchased these for my son a week ago - the Gravy Defyer Walk Breeze Sport shoe for $120.00. He received them yesterday, wore them for the first time today and the tongue fell right out. My mom is getting on to them immediately we want out money back. Interestingly my son wanted to test the shoes to see whether they were the real thing. I will keep you posted.
