A Get Smart Style Shoe Phone (gen 2)
introA Get Smart Style Shoe Phone (gen 2)
This is another in my Get Smart series, which also includes my first working wearable shoe phone , a cone of silence and a phone booth .
This real working shoe phone , with the phone in one shoe and the bluetooth headset in the other, was the basis of a Flinders University press release , on The New Inventors and a headline item on the ABC South Australian TV News:
It was also used in a couple of dozen radio interviews which were conducted by shoe phone, including this one . You can find more details at http://realshoephone.com
It will be informative to review the instructable for my first shoe phone if you want to make this one, but not necessary.

I used a Motorola V620, since it has an external antenna. This …
This is the relatively complicated bit. Remove the existing heels, and replace them will hollow compartments, that use studs to help the lits lock on. The heel can be made from three pieces of wood that form the sides and rear of the heel. A small piece of wood or metal can then be used to mostly close the front of the compartment, leaving enough room for the telep…
Once you have made the hollow heels, you have actually done the hard part. All that is left to do is to assemble it, by putting the phone in one shoe, and the blue tooth headset in the other. I used some PETG plastic sheet and a thumb tack to wedge the H500 into the shoe. If you haven't already, you can watch the video of the TV item where they show me using it. I'l…
