Here’s a great example from the <a href="http://www.wearabletechnologyshow.net/">Wearable Technology Show</a>: Thushara from <a href="http://www.tinker-design.com/">Tinker Design</a> has these beautiful smart shoes.

Supported by <a href="http://www.fashion-enterprise.com/">Centre for Fashion Enterprise</a>, a fashion business incubator, Thushara hopes to bring these to market in around six months. No details on price but as these are handmade shoes, they’re not going to be cheap.<br />
