No Bend(TM) Shoes
No Bend shoes allow people to open their shoes with a hand held remote control (similar to key fob used for cars) or an app in their mobile device. Once the shoe is open the foot can be easily inserted. Then the person steps in and the shoe locks for easy walking. When one is ready to remove shoes they can once again use remote control to open it. It is a simple easy hands free operation.
