- Idea
Our startup, Ring, offers a subscription-based service for recyclable safety and non-slip footwear at competitive prices. Leveraging technology from the running shoe sector, we've designed comfortable, durable shoes for various industries. Initially, we're launching three models: one tailored for food and hospitality staff, another for medical professionals, and a composite toe safety shoe for warehouse and construction workers.
- Problems
current safety shoes are either cheaply made with 1800s technology, or expensive and heavy. In general most safety shoes need to be replaced every six months to a year. over this time they tend to fall apart, become smelly, and loose traction. We aim to track users steps and replace shoes every six months or 3 million steps, whichever comes first.
- Solution
Our solution is a subscription service providing high-quality, non-slip safety footwear. Using advanced technology, we track the wearer's steps to timely replace shoes every six months or after 3 million steps, ensuring constant optimal performance and comfort for our users.
