Xiaomi sneakers

Together with the Li-Ning sports shoe company, they decided to create a new generation of sneakers - Li-ning Smart.

The full name sounds like Xiaomi Smart Running Shoes, i.e. smart running sneakers. Let's try to figure out the details.

Very comfortable high-quality sports shoes from a Chinese manufacturer of a huge variety of sports goods.

The company was founded in the late eighties of the last century by a famous Chinese gymnast - champion and medalist. Leaving the big sport, Mr. Li Ning realized what the professionals lacked, and decided to actively work on creating the missing component.

1. Xiaomi Smart Running Shoes is made of high quality synthetic material that allows air to pass through, has water repellent properties and no odors.
2. Comfortable elastic sole, which is made of special foam as a whole, does not slip, does not wear, has excellent cushioning.
3. All joints are neatly sealed, it seems that the sneakers are a monolithic design. Drops of glue, the remains of threads and so on do not peep anywhere.
4. A sock is a soft mesh that allows air to pass through but does not allow moisture and dust to pass through.
5. Bright color schemes delight the eye, cheer you up and sometimes just help out. Due to such a variety of palettes, you can choose your sneakers for any type and color of clothing.
6. High-tech liner, due to which, in fact, the model is called unique.

At the same time, there are two models of these sneakers on the sports goods market. Conventionally, they can be called "heavy" and "light."

They are made of exactly the same materials, but the second one is intended, rather, for physical exertion at a positive temperature on the street or in the hall.

Then the fun begins: installing the application and the operation process itself.

The chip is a motion sensor that counts steps. A battery is already built into it, which, unfortunately, is not yet possible to charge. In a sense, this is a one-time module designed for a specific runtime.

For the smart parts of Li-Ning sneakers to function properly, you need to download and install a special application on your smartphone - Mi Fit. The next step will be scanning the QR code by the smartphone from the chip itself.

Thus, the application automatically establishes a message between your smart device and Xiaomi Smart Running Shoes.

Insert the chip into the sneaker. Further, the application offers to calibrate: stand for five minutes in a place shod with sneakers, until all parameters are synchronized. And even if you have not connected your sneakers to a smartphone, the device inside the right boot will still count everything.

After a week or two, you can already refer to the specified application, and all information for the past period will already be in it.

Smart sneakers perform the following important functions:

• Count steps (classic pedometer);

• measure the distance traveled;

• determine the speed of your movement;

• They will tell you how many steps you take while jogging or walking.

Errors in the measurement data, of course, do occur, but they make up no more than 5%, which is already worthy of respect.

It is these indicators that will serve for further calculations and calculations.

Another nice plus is the possibility of setting your personal plans: what exactly do you want to achieve by using smart sneakers: control of physical activity, weight loss, setting your own record in steps / kilometers / speed.

At the same time, it is possible to set a time frame for achieving these results (if we are talking about losing weight).

The pause function is very convenient when during a run you suddenly made a stop. The application automatically goes into standby mode.

Regarding the positive and negative reviews about this model, we can say that the combination of advantages relates to Li-Ning sneakers themselves, and the disadvantages are increasingly exposing Xiaomi software. Let's try to figure it out.

• comfortable fit;

• color;

• sole;

• non-marking synthetic top;

• a pleasant price that can not keep up with the world leaders in the production of sports shoes;

• universality. Despite the fact that the sneakers by the manufacturers are called cross-country, the smart component of them considers steps, downtime, speed and so on, which has already been said. The most important thing that users note is the ability to replace different gadgets and applications with one chip, the piling up of which is not always pleasing.

• not exact fit. Of course, a larger number of respondents are satisfied with the size they have acquired, but there are some exceptions;

• the application does not always connect to running shoes on time;

• official application - mainly in English. Russian can only be found in broken versions;

• the chip cannot be charged. Now this is a bit like an advertising move. If your brains have run out of brains, please buy a new pair

For better or worse, we will judge after many years, when there will be something to compare.

Now, despite all the technological and computerization of society, there are still many gaps and blank spots in this process. It will take years, or maybe decades, before truly smart sneakers are provided with everything necessary for a full-fledged physical load and its control.
