New shoes for speed freaks

he least work. Ideally, the shoes should be tuned to the vibrations of each individual by varying the blend of material. Depending on their training and build, people's muscles resonate at different frequencies. "This might explain why there is no such thing as a sport shoe that suits all," says Wakeling.

The shoes may also reduce the wear and tear on athletes' legs caused by repetitive training. And Nigg hopes they will one day be adapted to make walking less physically tiring. "If you do it right, an elderly person may be able to walk two miles rather than one and a half miles."
