Keeping your smartphone and other technology devices up and running when out of the house usually means keeping a power bank on hand, but the 'StepCharge' enables you to charge your devices without the need for any additional battery packs. The 'StepCharge' works by being placed in your shoes like traditional insoles and will instantly go to work to provide you with energy that is generated by your steps. This means you can transform about an hour worth of walking into over three hours of traditional charging to keep your smartphone or other device up and running.
The 'StepCharge' technology has also been incorporated into hiking boots and shoe grips in order to charge your devices in whatever way suits your style
