Four Ways to Build Smart Shoes: Architecture Options for Footwear Computing
Design paths for SmartSole, SmartShoes, Smart Insoles and Modular Units
By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (MKR: Messiah King RKY)
Smart footwear is not “one product” but a set of hardware architectures.
If the goal is to turn shoes into a real computing platform – with SIM, CPU/GPU, sensors and OS V1 of Villan – there are several valid ways to package the technology.
This article maps four practical design families:
-
Modular smart units that clip into soles
-
Embedded SmartSoles for dedicated SmartShoes
-
Smart insoles that upgrade regular shoes
-
Fully integrated SmartShoes built as electronics from day one
Each path serves different markets, price levels and lifecycles.

-
-
Global footwear brands
-
Combine Modular Smart Units (shared electronics) with diverse fashion and sport uppers
-
Add Full SmartShoe flagships for marketing and high-margin lines
-
One Ecosystem, Multiple Hardware Shapes
All four designs can still share the same logic:
-
OS V1 of Villan as the common software base
-
SmartSole/SmartCore as the main compute + SIM unit
-
Optional peripherals: SmartScreen, SmartGlasses, SmartBracelets, SmartWatches and smartphones
From a system point of view, the question is not whether the foot becomes a computing node – it already does.
The question is which hardware form fits each market, budget and lifecycle.
By supporting modular cores, sealed SmartSoles, upgrade insoles and full SmartShoes, Villan can scale from small pilots to mass-market footwear and professional fleets – all walking on the same foundation.
Related Device: Smart Ankle Units
In addition to these four footwear architectures, Villan also includes a Smart Ankle design: a wearable ankle band with its own sensors, communication and sometimes battery. Smart Ankle units can work alone or as companions to SmartSole/SmartShoes, adding extra motion, health and position data around the ankle and leg. For detailed architecture and use-cases, see my separate Smart Ankle article.

Notes:
In the past, some of my articles and illustrations used the names and logos of large companies in areas like food & dairy, fashion, sports, and shoes as potential future partners or customers. I later learned that this could create legal and trademark issues, even when used only as concepts or illustrations. These companies were never actual partners, clients, or sponsors, and any use of their names or logos was purely illustrative and unintentional.
I have since removed or replaced those logos, updated the text so it does not suggest any real partnership, and now use only generic or fictional brands in my concept posts. I live with a mental disability, and sometimes I misunderstand or overlook details like this, but I am doing my best to learn and correct mistakes. I apologize for any confusion and hope that, in the future, I will have the chance to collaborate in a clear, honest, and legal way.
* The companies I describe here (such as Villan, Fast Food Inc., 1 Holdings, etc.) are projects I created and am working to establish. When I write “CEO” or “President”, it refers to my role as their founder and creator, not to a large public or registered corporation unless clearly stated.
