	Author	Project	Problem solved
1	Sofia Tavla	Anatomic running shoe that eliminates supination complications	The aim of this idea is to support athletes who are suffering from supination and its consequences which mainly are stress fractures in the feet and legs, swelling of the angle and foot, weakness and ankle pain by using a midsole which expands with electricity and, subsequently, counterbalances the sole.
2	ARGYRO ATHANASOPOULOU	Intelligent high heels	The modern and delicate stilettos, are painful and harmful not only for the feet, but also for the whole body. Women are really fond of them, but are afraid to wear them in their everyday life and some of them avoid them completely, because they find them inconvenient and difficult to walk in. With the above technologies that would not be a problem anymore.
3	Anastasios Antonopoulos	Smart Shoe	The smart shoe fully understands the user’s environment and the type of activity he / she does, with the shoe adapting to and responding to the needs of each person in his / her day. Its ergonomic design will allow the foot not to get tired after many hours of use.
4	KONSTANTINA CHASIOTI	Τhe bright shoe	The shoes contain sensors and according to different investigations the sensor will hold for about a year of use maybe and a little above.Another problem is the high cost they will have because they have the sensors and the bluetooth which is necessary so the person hear the sound that will clarify the existence of a obstacle.
5	Vassilis Liliopoulos	E-Active Shoe	A shoe for any environment and activity (land or water). A shoe which adjusts in any type of foot (no worries about the size of the shoe). Reduced feet injuries and improved comfort. A shoe without laces.
6	Rocío Olaya	Midsole box	Mainly focused on the using of personal insoles in open summer shoes, where the insole doesn’t move and is hidden without modifying the bite and the vamp position. Also solves the problems derived from adding a personal insole in closed shoes where less space is available for the foot, normally cramping the toes, middle of the foot and misplacing the heel.
7	PABLO JASPERS	SECOND SKIN	The problem that tries to solve the product is to make a completely personalized technical shoe, adapting completely to each foot, differentiating even right and left foot, thus allowing the total connection of the athlete with the element. In addition, to monitoring all user activities, allowing an exhaustive control of the development of the sport, creating very detailed databases, study the evolution, even detect injuries instantly.
8	Esteban Del Valle	Alexandria 3d+	Resolves the shortage or near absence of iCad3D + online textures material available to work on footwear design.
9	Chasan Tzampaz	Changeable Soles	Our idea to produce this product is mainly to solve the economic issue. there will be the possibility to use one shoe for three different sports. It will also be easy to replace damaged spoils and to buy new instead of a new shoe that will be more expensive.
10	Konstantinos Vrosgos	Shoes with GPS	When someone is looking down or is doing something on their phone the light display will be able to guide them without having too look up or get distracted when they are doing something else on their phone. For example you could be touring around a city taking pictures uploading videos and reading about the things you see without having too look on a map all the time.
11	Emmanouil Fragkakis	Innovative farmer’s shoe	Basic characteristic of the footwear, I have designed, is the stability it offers because of its scratch-like mechanism, just above the ankles, and the reinforced material around the heel. As a result, footwear fit tightly round the feet and you don’t have the feeling of galosh like shoes (difficult to manage, uncomfortable). The shoes, I propose, are also cheap, because of the plastic and rubber material used for its production.
12	Stergios Paranychianakis	Heated Rechargeable Boots	The problem that is being solved is the cold feet feel, which people who work outdoors suffer from, especially during the winter. Also, because this application refers to a boot-type shoe, is going to become the ultimate work boot due to the super-heavy and durable construction and resistant materials that being used to the structure. So, by wearing these pair of boots, you forget about cold feet feeling, which is going to help increase the productivity of the users, making their life more comfortable.
13	Evagelos Gkelmbouras	EN Shoe	The main goal of “The En shoes” is to eliminate the frostbites that a lot of people suffer, cause of the cold weather. Ιmagine a hiker going on a mountain walk, during winter and get stuck in an area full of snow with very low temperature, so he is freezing. Using the “The En shoes” he can use the energy, he produced during his walk, to heat up his legs.
14	Ioannis Ntizos	Intelligent Sole	The issue that will be solved is that the consumer wants a shoe that fits his own preferences. He will be able to walk, run or have any activity wearing shoes that fits his/her own feet.
15	Emmanouil Kokkinis	Summer Shoes	Everybody knows the ugly, not elegant and not discreetly plastic shoes that elder people are wearing in the summer to prevent burnings, cuttings and scratches. The problem that I solve is that this shoe is so discreetly and easy to apply it, that everyone can wear it without feeling embarrassing or out of the fashion. Furthermore, the basic and most simple problem that I am solving is the burnings and cuttings on rocky and sharp beach that you want to walk.
16	Albertos Tzikas	Versatile Shoe	Eliminates the need for multiple shoes, it is space-efficient when packing, money-efficient when buying shoes and all occasions-appropriate.
17	GEORGE AGATSAS	Recyclable materials	The shoe industries highly pollute the environment, as they use toxic materials for the manufacturing of their designs. This shoe design proposes new methods of production and new materials to be used that are not harmful to the environment.
18	Sotiris Kyriakou	Military Shoes	This boot will provide comfort and facility for the wearer. It will solve the problem of excessive weight and discomfort of the rest military boots. In addition, it will help the user conserve energy due to the elasticity of the sole.
18	Andreas Malamos	Running Shoes	The weight of this type of shoes is still a big issue for the companies that produce it since none has been weight less than 127gr. Moreover, there is no shoes until now that has the design of ‘sock’ which offers stability and at the same time to be durable. The reason for this is that they don’t use tough and rigid materials such as carbon in combination with polymers so as to be as rigid and as elastic as is preferred.
19	Evagelos Amerikanos	The Shoes for every Weather	There is a need of having shoes for every type of weather, meaning having pairs for when it’s raining or when the temperature is high or low, with this product you solve the problem of rain and high temperatures.

21	Tatiana Taratsa	Volley Ball Shoes	During the volleyball game, every athlete should feel sure about every step he makes. Every step must be strong, steady and most important of all safe. So this is the problem I’m trying to solve, or to improve, because the athletes’ needs are increasing as the time goes by.
22	Eleni Nakou	Surfer Shoes	This specific product provides surfer with a high quality shoe that lasts in time and resists water, dirt and adverse circumstances. Till now surfer’s shoes make their life difficult as it is not the same to surf barefoot and surf with a nylon surf shoe. The finger shoe resembles barefoot experience and has an innovative configuration.
23	Christina Inglezaki	Intelligence Sole	By purchasing this product, the user will not be bothered by wearing this shoe, since the sole will be specially made for his foot from his own data and for each leg separately.

24	Antonia Kalaitzaki	Adaptable Shoe	Σε κάποιον ο οποίος φοράει μέγεθος παπουτσιού 44 με 60 κιλά η σόλα του παπουτσιού μπορεί να του φανεί πολύ σκληρή γιατί θα πρέπει να εξυπηρετεί και άτομα του ίδιου μεγέθους (44) που μπορεί να είναι και 100+ κιλά . Τα παπούτσια λοιπόν αυτά θα είναι πιο ποιοτικά και θα βοηθάνε περισσότερο στο περπάτημα ή την άσκηση .

28	Ageliki Katsara	Shoe with Silicon	With this new product women will feel comfortable wearing their pointy toe single sole high heel pumps. Pointy toe shoes are very painful because they press the toes and force them to take not common shape. This fact is getting worse when shoes are high heels because feet tend to slip front so the toe pressure gets bigger and the final toe shape is worst. Silicone gel smooth the pressure and absorbs vibrations.
