And with my luck someone would hack my shoes and make me run to do evil.

That would be awful.

And they'd mess with my bladders. Also bad.

Then they would find out how little I exercise, and mock me.

And for this someone suggests I spend $700? I don't think so.

So, next time I get into a fender-bender with someone I can just give them a vCard straight to the nuts?

Styles change so I don't care about how they look now.
I would suggest making it modular so that as you wear out different parts you can get them replaced. There could be a shell system so that you could switch the shoe from casual to formal by replacing the cover. The inner shoe could contain the "tech" to adjust to your feet and outer shells could be bought depending on the application.
I see many profitable applications, including medical. I'll bet that you see similar products in the $100-$300 range in the next few years.

If they could drop the price to around $250-$300 I'd consider a purchase. They'll have to work on the styling a little though...

@Kaiser-Machead: I'll second that. Anything for a pair of shoes that will last for many years of me running and just general use of the show. Would be great if interior held up as well.

@radeon21: I wouldn't say awful looking, just not in my first ten choices of style.

With the frequency and speed that I walk, I tear through shoes regularly. I'd only pay $700 if I was guaranteed that the rubber in the soles could withstand a dozens of landings under the tires of a 747.
