Implications - Footwear is as much a part of fashion as is clothing, so it makes sense that it has become the subject of artworks or the design inspiration behind innovations like phones. On the other hand, footwear is such an important part of daily living that designers have created innovations that enhance one's use of shoes as well, revealing how there is always room for innovation when it comes to everyday essentials.
