Problem Statement

The Six have the opportunity to design and create shoes for less than $60 and sell them for $100 that consumer ages 8-21 will purchase to walk on water, mainly for recreational fun. The prototype will be constructed, tested, and then modified to create the best possible final product.

The Opportunity presented to The Six is to design and develop shoes that allow consumers to walk on water for recreational fun.

• Walking Definition: Moving forward self propelled on the soles of your feet while upright
• n your own free will.
• Client/Stakeholders: Customers (People age 8-21), Users, Purchasers, Manufacturers,

Retailers, Angel Investors, Our Professor, Creators of the product

• Audience: People aged 8-21
• Community of Interest: outdoorsy people, water enthusiasts, physically active, families

and children

• Safety Risks: drowning, getting stuck in/under shoes

Sustainability

A sustainable product is socially acceptable, eco-friendly, economically favorable, and technologically appropriate.

The Six created surveys in order to determine our Customer Needs.

• Survey One
• Survey Two

Specifications were determined through customer needs and material evaluations.

• Lightweight (under 4.53 kgs per shoe) : A
• Easy set up (ten minutes to set up) : B
• Durable (use at least an hour per time) : C
• Easy to hold steady : D
• Color : E
• Portable (carry in arms or bag) : F
• Safety : G
• Cost (materials less than $80) : H

Table 1. Specifications Table 2. Pairwise Comparison

Each group member brainstormed ideas for the project to be evaluated.

• Fig. 5. Idea Four
• Fig. 6. Idea Five

The ideas brainstormed were evaluated through concept screening and scoring.

Walk On Water Shoe Cost Materials Propulsion $33.92 Styrofoam Styrofoam $9.98 Duct Tape $4.27 Gorrilla Glue $9.99 Shoes Gorrilla Glue Duct Tape Shoes Buoyancy Shape Walking

The cost analysis showed that the walk on water shoes would produce a profit.

Materials Used:

• Styrofoam--Polystyrene (5):

$33.92

• Duct Tape (2): $9.98
• Gorilla Glue (1): $4.27
• Shoes (1 pair): $9.99
• TOTAL BOM: $58.16

Retail Price of Product:

• Consumers willing to pay: $100

Total Profit = $100 - $58.16 = $41.84

Construction of the prototype took a couple hours with all hands on deck.

The first test showed that the only adjustment we needed to make was adding more duct tape to the actual shoe.
