Known for its shape-memory properties, the spring can be made to expand and contract, allowing the footwear to open or close around your foot! No laces, no hands, no problems!<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Nike Adapt that comes with sensors, motors, and batteries, Shen\u2019s shoes (titled \u2018Heaven\u2019s Door\u2019) use a much more ingenious low-tech system that doesn\u2019t require all those bells and whistles. The shoe\u2019s simple lacing\/unlacing mechanism relies on a wireless charging mat that helps heat the Nitinol spring, causing it to expand and the shoe to open. Slip your foot in and step off the mat and the Nitinol spring begins cooling and returning to its original shape, causing the shoe to constrict securely around your ankle.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jeffshen.net\/self-opening\">Jeff Shen<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/23\/self-wearing-shoe-concept-automatically-opens-and-closes-thanks-to-a-clever-low-tech-shape-memory-alloy-spring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Self-wearing shoe concept automatically opens and closes thanks to a clever low-tech shape memory alloy spring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-409649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/23\/self-wearing-shoe-concept-automatically-opens-and-closes-thanks-to-a-clever-low-tech-shape-memory-alloy-spring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Self-wearing shoe concept automatically opens and closes thanks to a clever low-tech shape memory alloy spring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_1.jpg\">The Heaven\u2019s Door has a unique design style that combines the close-toe design of a shoe with the open-ish ankle aesthetic of a slip-on sandal. The shoes have a leather body, punctuated by an elastic strap that runs along the side, connecting the rear flap to the main shoe. A rubber outsole hints at comfortable outdoor use in an urban environment, while hiding the springs away in a recessed channel running along the length of the shoe. Although remarkable in their automatic opening\/closing abilities, the shoes don\u2019t try to look futuristic \u2013 because they are not. Unlike the Nike Adapt that have an undeniable sci-fi backstory, the Heaven\u2019s Door is simply a footwear concept with a clever idea driven by material <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>.

The mat connects to a coil hidden in the shoe\u2019s outsole, which then heats up to 70\u00b0C, causing the Nitinol spring to loosen and a set of expansion springs under the heel to pull on it, releasing the shoe\u2019s rear flap backward almost like a drawbridge. This only lasts as long as the shoe is on the wireless mat. Step off it and the Nitinol cools back and begins assuming its original shape, pulling the rear flap shut.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/23\/self-wearing-shoe-concept-automatically-opens-and-closes-thanks-to-a-clever-low-tech-shape-memory-alloy-spring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Self-wearing shoe concept automatically opens and closes thanks to a clever low-tech shape memory alloy spring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-409653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/23\/self-wearing-shoe-concept-automatically-opens-and-closes-thanks-to-a-clever-low-tech-shape-memory-alloy-spring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Self-wearing shoe concept automatically opens and closes thanks to a clever low-tech shape memory alloy spring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"941\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/23\/self-wearing-shoe-concept-automatically-opens-and-closes-thanks-to-a-clever-low-tech-shape-memory-alloy-spring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Self-wearing shoe concept automatically opens and closes thanks to a clever low-tech shape memory alloy spring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-409654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"941\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/23\/self-wearing-shoe-concept-automatically-opens-and-closes-thanks-to-a-clever-low-tech-shape-memory-alloy-spring\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Self-wearing shoe concept automatically opens and closes thanks to a clever low-tech shape memory alloy spring\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/auto-draft\/heavens_door_shoe_6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>What the Heaven\u2019s Door shoe does is cleverly eliminate any need for tech components to be present in the shoe.
