If you walk a lot, and you're heavy (which most of us are, let's face it) then your feet are probably pretty tired by the end of the day.
Everyone would love to have a foot massage, but not everyone has access to a partner willing to perform one, or even a partner in many cases.
Massage shoes can
run off mains power, indefinitely, or on power stored in the batteries and capacitors, to run a series of bands across the instep, and a number of actuators under the insole, to gently massage your feet when you have a chance to stop and sit down.
If you are a District Court Judge from Oklahoma then you might think twice before using them in the courtroom.

Which has nothing to do with this idea, might I add. [UnaBubba, Oct 17 2005]

scaled down and up where appropriate, could provide a neatly programmable means of massaging the feets. [calum, Oct 17 2005]

I keep reading this as "massage me shoes" |
|

Massage your own bloody shoes Ub! |

How very London of you, [skinflaps]. |
|
| |
...and then there's DrBob's version but I really don't want to enter that territory again |
|
| |
You know that leg massagers and foot massagers exist, I'm sure. Since you can't really walk around plugged into a wall socket, what's the point of asking for the existing stuff in a form factor that doesn't have any use? |
|
| |
Because, as stipulated in the idea, there are batteries and capacitors included in the shoes, to facilitate a limited period of use, until a wall socket can be found. |
|
| |
The mains power option is included for no other reason than convenience. |
|
| |
The fact they are built into your shoes also makes them uniquely distinct from the stay-at-home mail order devices to which you linked. |
