Desde que los zapatos son examinados en los aeropuertos, intentar coger un vuelo llevando unos zapatos con circuito eléctrico incorporado y un pequeño interruptor on/off en uno de los laterales podría parecer una tomadura de pelo. De momento, al ingeniero civil pakistaní Faiz Mohammad calzar unas piezas supuestamente terapeúticas le ha costado perder el avión y unas horas en prisión.

Se usan para masajes, indicó al personal de control de seguridad del aeropuerto de Karachi, en Pakistán, antes de ser detenido para prestar declaración. "Es la primera vez que vemos unos zapatos así. Los hemos mandado a analizar para comprobar si lo que dice [el detenido] es verdad", ha explicado el investigador policial Niaz Khoso.

A través de internet sí se puede rastrear la existencia de dicho modelo de zapatos y otras variantes, sandalias incluidas. En la web The Future of Things, una entrada de febrero de 2007 hace referencia a estos dispositivos, aunque el enlace a la página oficial de Good Vibrations Therapeutic Vibrating Shoes® ya no está en funcionamiento.

Según algunas fuentes policiales, el sistema de estos zapatos sería suficiente para hacer detonar explosivos. "Para ser honestos, no sabemos que zapatos así están disponibles en el mercado pero estamos controlando. No lo hemos liberado aún pero si determinamos que es inocente, con seguridad lo dejaron ir", agregó el funcionario.

Los zapatos 'Good Vibrations' ('Buenas vibraciones') se describen en un sitio web como "diseñados para alejar con masajes los dolores a lo largo del día en lugar de que después de que el daño esté hecho". En otra se destaca que aunque los aparatos vibradores diseñados para masajear los pies están disponibles desde hace años, la innovación de este producto consiste en su portabilidad.

Son obra del podólogo Richard Koenig y se vendían a un precio de unos 60 dólares, según referencias en algunas webs.

Faiz Mohammad, de 30 años, permanece de momento encerrado sin sus zapatos vibradores. La alarma saltó cuando intentaba coger su vuelo de Thai Airways con destino Muscat, en el emirato de Omán. No sería la primera vez que un terrorista intenta colar en un avión una bomba en unos zapatos. Reuters recuerda el caso del islamista integrista británico Richard Reid, quien en 2001 intentó hacer explotar un vuelo sobre el Atlántico.

Shoes That Give You A Buzz
by Boomer Babe
Good Vibrations Therapeutic Vibrating Shoes®As far as shoes go, I'm a Babe that seeks comfort, so when I saw these photos on-line, they seemed to call out to me "Ah, come hither you Babe in those tortuous high heels..."

Well, guess what I found out? These shoes are not just comfortable.... They ROCK!

What's in them? Vibrators!

Vibration is one of the most common means of stimulating sore, tired muscles. It is a way of relaxing tight or cramped muscles so that oxygen and blood can flow freely to the muscle, restoring its normal health and functioning.

Although vibrating machines designed for feet have been available for years, the Good Vibrations Therapeutic Vibrating Shoes® are the first pair of shoes to offer the technology in a portable form. And the vibration is high frequency, so you don't get the itching and other skin irritations common after use of other vibrating units.Charge Both Shoes At One Time!Charge Both Shoes At One Time!

Not only are Good Vibrations portable, but they contain rechargeable batteries! "Re-booting" takes only an hour, after which you can buzz right along for up to five hours - although most wearers use the vibration for about 20 minutes at a time, turning the convenient built-in switch on or off, as desired.

While not recommended for long walks or vigorous exercise
, you can walk around in your Good Vibrations while the switch is on. You can wear them inside your home or outside, as the soles are thick and sturdy, as well as slip-proof. They come in particularly handy on long flights when feet tend to swell; they are lightweight and come in a travel bag so you can easily take them with you. And most styles are unisex!

Who can benefit? Well...who hasn't had sore feet? But particularly? Athletes, salespersons, flight attendants, traffic cops, and anyone else who's legs and feet are subject to continued stress. In addition to these groups, people with arthritic feet and diabetes have benefited from the shoes, as well as Shoes With An On-Off SwitchShoes With An On-Off Switchnon-ambulatory persons whose feet and leg muscles may not get enough stimulation. Recent research also indicates that those with balance difficulties, such as those resulting from a stroke, may find improvement from vibrating shoes. Dr.Koenig emphasizes, however, that his company does not make any specific health claims.

Good Vibrations Therapeutic Vibrating Shoes®, are the brainchild of Dr. Richard Koenig who, as a podiatrist, has spent years studying and treating feet and the effects of fatigue on them. The therapeutic vibrating shoes join Dr. Koenig's other inventions related to methods of foot surgery and rehabilitation.

Good Vibrations are designed with a flexible toe box, made of stretchable Spandex® so as to fit many different shapes of foot. The shoes also have arch supports and adjustable heel straps. They are available in about half a dozen styles and can be purchased direct from the manufacturer at a very reasonable cost of $59.95.

Keeping you posted.
