In addition to the supportive arch and raised heel, we added another strip of the wave gel (cut out from the Dr. Scholl’s insole) to the... Continue Reading →
Often times in the engineering world, we have great ideas or concepts in our heads and it’s important to put these ideas on paper so others can understand what we are trying to design. Communicating designs can be as simple as drawing a rough sketch or basic prototype out of toothpicks and tape. Even a... Continue Reading →
After our shopping field trip a few weeks ago, SEAS Design team has used their inspiration from the thrift and hardware stores to pump out some designs on paper. To read more about our field trip, click here. It’s been extremely helpful to research existing shoe insoles that are designed for similar purposes as our... Continue Reading →

Our main time has been spent just recently finishing our memorandum, but in starting out the design proposal we have been researching google patents, and determining specific... Continue Reading →
As Eliza explained in the previous blog post, we were a part of the Lemelson MIT InvenTeam during our sophomore year. Because of this experience we are familiar with the design process to create new prototypes that have not yet been patented. Finding patents can be helpful to use as inspiration but can also make...
