But you can attach it to other shoes by using a sensor pouch. Here are some options if you have this sensor and want to use it with any shoe. That is, with any shoe that has shoelaces as they all rely on attaching them to the top of the shoe using the laces as an anchor. Nike had a selection of shoes decorated with the Nike Swoosh and a plus sign.
The Moire was one of the first produced, and I really liked this shoe. The grooved sole allows extreme flexibility, so you can move as you wish — not how the shoe wishes. The upper is very much like the Nike Free 5. This shoe pouch can be used with the Nike sensor, Fitbit Flex , Misfit, Withings and other fitness trackers. It laces through your shoelaces and securely encases your tracker in a nylon sleeve with double hook-and-loop tab closures.
The Griffin logo is reflective, allowing for better night safety. Nathan makes many running products, including this sturdy little sensor pocket. Like the others, you slip one end under your shoelaces and it folds over and attaches with hook-and-loop fabric. The sensor is secure in the mesh pocket. It has a reflective logo for safety. Attach the pouch by threading it through your shoelaces.

If you have an iPod touch and iPhone 3GS or later, you don't need the receiver, they have that built-in.
But the shoe sensor can be used in unauthorized ways with other shoes. This is an easy process if you have an outdoor track handy. Quick Tape Method : My first method was just to use packaging tape. I tucked the sensor underneath the shoelaces and then criss-crossed packaging tape over it.
Duct tape would probably work fine as well, but you don't want any kind of tape that would shield the wireless transmission. Aluminum foil is an especially dumb idea. You want the sensor to be held securely, not bobbing or swaying, and to be parallel with the ground and not tilted.
Sensor Pouches : Top picks for sensor pouches for your shoes. That's as good as any pedometer can be expected to be. The receiver routes the information to the iPod Nano, which relays it to the runner, either on the screen or through the headphones. It detects the runner's footfalls through its piezoelectric accelerometer. Piezoelectric materials produce electrical current when they change shape, or they change shape when exposed to electricity.
Piezoelectric transducers, often used in speakers, rapidly change shape when they come in contact with electrical current. Piezoelectric sensors, on the other hand, use quartz, silicon or manmade crystals that produce electricity when squeezed, moved or bent. These generator-like crystals are often microscopic. Depending on how the crystals are cut, they usually produce an electrical charge when compressed in a specific direction or along a specific plane.
For these reasons, piezoelectric sensors can be very small and very accurate. When someone is standing still or walking slowly, his feet spend more time touching the earth than in the air. But when jogging or sprinting, his feet spend less and less time on the ground. The faster he runs, the less time his feet spend in contact with the surface under them.
Because of this basic trait of walking and running, a processor can use equations to convert contact time into running speed. The process is the most accurate when runners calibrate their sensors by running a pre-set distance so get a baseline reading. When the shoes aren't moving, the accelerometer has no footsteps to report -- it stops sending data.
In the absence of the accelerometer's output, the sensor eventually puts itself to sleep. But when a runner puts his shoes on and takes a few steps, the sensor generates electrical pulses, and the sensor resumes operation. The sensor also has a physical switch which can turn the unit off; the unit stays off until someone presses the switch again.
This preserves the battery's life the 1,hour battery can't be replaced when someone isn't running regularly or is running in different shoes. It broadcasts its data at a radio frequency of 2.
In addition to transmitting data about a person's running stride, it transmits a unique code that it uses to identify itself. We'll look at how the receiver uses this information next. Other manufacturers, however, have developed pouches that hold the transmitter and lace to the top of a person's shoe.
These manufacturers claim that the transmitter still gives accurate readings when in the pouch. However, the angle at which the sensor rests on top of a person's foot is slightly different from its angle inside a person's shoe.
Depending on how the piezoelectric crystals align within the sensor, this could affect the overall accuracy of the system. Since its storage, software and battery power reside on the iPod Nano, the Sport Kit's receiver is a little simpler than the transmitter. It plugs into the Nano's dock connection with a multi-pin connector -- these pins carry data and power back and forth between the two devices.
The receiver itself has only a few components, including a processor, a receiver, an antenna and several resistors and capacitors.
