eSoles are custom foot beds with the option where your soles will tell your phone data on as cadence, power output, balance, speed, and distance while you are cycling, skiing, walking, running, golfing, or jumping rope. The input comes from 11 pressure sensors integrated into the insole; the data is transmitted to your mobile phone via Bluetooth. Users will also need a smartphone. Initially, phones with Windows Mobile will be supported; applications for the iPhone and BlackBerry are expected to be developed later. The wireless insoles will be tailor-made, using eSoles' Foot Imaging Kiosk System. The systems consists of self-service kiosks for the sports retail market that contain 3D foot-imaging technology and of modular insole components. In the kiosk, customers' feet are analyzed and measured. The output is translated into instructions that enable a retailer to build insoles from modular components to fit the customer' feet and their specific footwear.

A prototype version of the wireless insole has been tested by athletes and will be available this summer. The cost of this will be from a basic $49 to a luxury version at $499.
