An asymmetric approach to footwear
**********************************
     To enhance fencers' leg and foot protection, the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel has developed a pair of hi-tech shoes.
 
     They were designed to be asymmetric as fencing involves moves and postures that exert different levels of pressure on the left and right foot.
 
     News.gov.hk interviewed the researchers and fencers to see how the shoes work.
 
     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (May 14) in text and video format.
