No doubts it's much better than doing nothing.
The problem is it can easily turn into a green washing scenario.
I think many "no-brainer" tech-fixes to the current ecological challenges must always be critiqued.
Especially since they may work against attempts to create valuable structural abs policy changes.

How about making those places more bike-able ?
Rentable e-bikes/scooters?
How about more reliable and frequent bus services between train stations?
Essentially it's privatizing a public problem.

The shoes solve a problem that doesn't exist.
The problem with cars and air pollution stems from car centric infrastructure and how subsidized oil. Unless those are solved people will still use cars.
Accessible and reliable Public Transport are the solution to car pollution.
This shoes just create new e-waste.
