Yes folks, I just saw "The Goonies" for the first time in 20 years.
Here goes -
In one scene, one of the kids has a hidden mechanism in his sneakers that causes the heels to elevate; once elevated, they proceed to dispense a particularly slick liquid.
a. Is it possible to design shoes that can open up and elevate without them being visibly modified?
b. Can such a mechanism even be installed in a child's shoes? (I recall one set of footprints being identified as "size 5s" (US sizes), but it didn't say if they were adult or child.
c. Even if such a mechanism can be installed, how much room would there be for any sort of liquid?
d. Would such shoes even be vaguely comfortable to wear, let alone able to allow the wearer to engage in strenuous athletic activity?
