The ability for them to easily be repaired and recycled unlike the throw away shoes companies make now.

Sneakers/Tennis/Running shoes that have automatically pop/retracting heel wheels like Heelys

You lock your shoes together a certain way to engage the wheels which lock in place so you can skate around. When you’re done, you lock in the opposite direction which causes the wheels to eject and swing out to rest on the top of the shoe so it stays out of the way.

You get the ultimate tactical shoe that you can run and play sports in which also also double as Heelys when you need them to

Optionally, make the wheels electric powered as well lol

Retractable ice spikes and claws!

Something breathable like canvas but it is more durable than leather. The soles are as tough as possible while staying flexible enough to accommodate squatting. The soles are designed to be replaced multiple times without damaging the rest of the shoes.

It would have a composite protective toe, few to no seams, and laces that can snug it up to your foot if you tug them and hook them, but the shoes would stay on if you don’t do anything to the laces. Like, they just wouldn’t be as supportive without snugging them up.

It would have aggressive arch supports, or else come with several different inserts for different arch support needs.

Also, very wide toe box designed around normal toes, not squashing toes into a narrow or unnaturally shaped space.

My favorite shoes are the Red Wing Iron Ranger’s. I worked for them for 3 years and when I left I was gifted my second pair. They’re great shoes in everyway. I only wish they had an 8 inch version available in the states. They had one back then in Europe, but nothing stateside. My two sets and the pile of other shoes I got when I worked there have been going strong some years on so I haven’t boot shopped in a while, maybe they finally took my advice and did it.

Steel radial truck-tyre soles. Sick of wearing through them in a few months.

Fits my weird-shaped feet (wide fitting, deep through the instep).

Uppers squashy enough not to destroy my feet after an all-day hike, but hard-wearing enough not to fall apart.

Like heelies but the wheels are sideways so you use it like a skateboard. I don’t know how that would work but that’s what I want.

gun

Rocket shoes? Yeah, definitely rocket shoes

Secret pocket in the tongue to hide your drugs like my circa late 90’s Chad Muska éS that I tore to shreds skateboarding like an IDIOT!!

I’m old now and don’t need to hide my drugs in my shoe anymore, but those shoes were cool as hell

Ruby slippers

Slip in (already a thing) and machine washable.

I would just like some width varieties as well as length.

Id need a fan to get rid of moisture when it’s hot and my feet are sweaty.

Quick swap method for the tread of the bottom as it becomes worn or to suit another purpose - need nonslip non conductive bottom at work -swap as needed or maybe need better support for long distance running on pavement for your work out - swap to the tread for that

Shoe laces are gone I want a one hand quick latch or something. I’ve seen them on helmets adapt it to a shoe please.

I’d settle for perfectly comfortableshoes but for special features I’d have to say…

Okok

So they’re sandals. Perfect comfort and air flow but they have a forcefield to repel dirt, rocks, water, etc.

And I’m thinking like hiking sandals so good traction as well.

Yes, these would be the most perfect shoes ever.
