Xero Shoes Introduces the XB+ SmartShoe at CES 2025: Enhancing Running with Sensor-Powered Feedback

Published

on

By

The XB+ SmartShoe leverages sensor technology to guide runners toward optimal form and reduced injuries.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, Xero Shoes is introducing the XB+ SmartShoe, a new footwear innovation featuring sensor technology that provides real-time feedback designed to address running form and reduce the risk of injuries.

The Challenge Traditional Footwear Has Yet to Overcome

Despite 5 decades of advancements in running shoe design, injury rates among runners have remained consistent, impacting 37-56% of runners annually. Traditional shoe manufacturers often attribute this to inherent high-impact forces during running. However, research suggests otherwise, according to Xero Shoes Co-Founder and Masters All-American sprinter Steven Sashen. “Poor running form, particularly overstriding and improper landing mechanics are the main culprit, sending excessive force into the joints.”

Minimalist Footwear: A Step in the Right Direction

Minimalist shoes are often promoted as a solution to these gait-related issues. They encourage natural movement by making poor running mechanics uncomfortable, leading to instinctive adjustments for many runners. However, minimalist shoes alone may not provide enough feedback to ensure consistent improvements in form.

Introducing the XB+ SmartShoe: Technology Meets Natural Movement

The XB+ SmartShoe combines the benefits of minimalist footwear with advanced sensing technology developed in collaboration with Boogio. According to Jose Torres, Co-Founder of Boogio, “The tech layer integrates a laboratory’s worth of motion testing equipment into a sleek insole with many applications.”

The shoe delivers biofeedback signals, such as audio cues through headphones, to help runners intuitively adjust their gait. By gamifying movement adjustments, the XB+ SmartShoe aims to make learning optimal running patterns engaging and effective.

Experience the XB+ SmartShoe at CES 2025

Attendees at CES 2025 are invited to experience the XB+ SmartShoe firsthand and explore how this innovation can support better running form and injury prevention.

About Xero Shoes

Xero Shoes is a leading footwear company dedicated to promoting natural, healthy movement through minimalist shoe designs. The company’s mission is to help individuals rediscover the joy of movement, free from pain and injury.
