• I wonder how much they are. I dont know if I would want a pair what if they came open and I didnt know it and lost my stuff. I think that would be to risky for credit cards and the more expensive things, maybe for like papers or something that isnt to much of value I would use them for, but that would be about it, I would use my pockets other wise.

• I like the idea of storage in places you wouldn’t think of but I think that this is actually a bad idea because it’s simply too easy to destroy your valuables. For example, they said that maybe in the future, the shoes and sandals could hold mp3 players and cell phones. What happens if you trip? Or what if slip into water? What if your friends played a prank on you and they pushed you into a pool while you were walking around it. Your items would be destroyed. Plus, how the heck are you supposed to answer a phone call or switch tracks on your mp3 player when it’s waaay down by your foot? Lastly, this would be bad if you were running, jumping, or whatever and accidentally your show or sandal fell off. In my opinion, there’s a good purpose behind it, but wrong area of the body.

• I agree with x1xtomx1x, this isn’t a good idea.  It’s more secure keeping your valuables in your pocket.  I don’t like the idea of reaching into my shoes to get my credit card out either, it’s easier to take out if you keep it in your pocket. 

  I do see it useful for people who like to jog around with their shorts (that have no pockets) and want to carry their gadgets around with them.
