Personally, I have issues about spending more than $50 on a pair of shoes. But if you happen to be the sort of person who feels the need to use the words "smart" and/or "experience" when describing your footwear, then perhaps a pair of VectraSense Technologies' new $700 Verb for Shoes are exactly what your feet need.

So, what does one get for a cool $700? Well, the shoes feature an embedded computer, which offers "Auto Comfort": the "Experiance" shoes automatically adjust to their wearer's feet, becoming firmer or more cushioned based on movement. The shoes also feature "Contact Sharing," which allow them to trade information with other smart shoes in the area, and a wireless link, which lets users sync information between their shoes and PC.

The company also offers an online component of the Verb for Shoe experience, featuring a blog, "interactive music videos featuring the shoes in various cultural settings," and a forum where shoe owners can connect.

The shoes are available now, the Verb for Shoe site.
