Rules:

1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

" having to " is a weird way of saying if you go out of your way to buy these shoes specifically designed to track how far you walk/run and your cadence. This is extremely optional and definitely won't be something your normal shoe experiences.
