Перейти к шагу 1These shoes have been well worn and falling apart.
I was curious how they were constructed. I’ve seen complaints online about the electronics in these shoes stop working or the battery no longer charges.
I wanted to find out why and if there was a way to repair or provide feedback to the manufacturer.
I’m new to electronics and have never done a teardown before, feedback is welcomed.

When I went to pull apart the second one, I found that the last time the sole had been repaired, the bonding worked really really well.
-
This made it very difficult to pull the shoe apart. So instead I'll show the shoe I had already pulled apart.

The sole starts to lift from the platform,

The suede on the front of the toe rips and peels,

The ankle strap tears,

The toe strap tears.

The shoe works by charging with a micro USB next to the power button on the shank of the shoe.
-
The power button also cycles the colours and modes.
-
To protect the electronics, the shoes come with a warning to avoid excessive banging and moister.

-
The RGB LED light strip is glued to the platform.
-
The strip ran down the shank of the shoe and then wrapped around the shell containing the battery and board.
-
This board shell in held in place under the sole in the box of the platform. The plastic box was sealed with glue.

-
The shell cracked, especially at the center, there's a clear indent from the chip in the middle of the board.
