A shoe or footwear insole comprised of genuine sheepskin. The said sheepskin can be from any variety of sheep. The said sheepskin is comprised of its leather backing and hair. The said insole can be removable and adjusted within the shoe or footwear. The said insole may contain an adhesive backing to secure it within the shoe or footwear. The said insole can be shaped by method into any of seven interchangeable parts as outlined in the drawings. Each of the said parts can be used alone or in any combination. Drawing 1 contains parts 1, 2 and 3. Drawing 2 contains parts 4 and 5. Drawing 3 contains parts 6 and 7. Each part is named for where it would generally sit within the shoe or footwear. Part 1 displays a heel insole. Part 2 displays a ball-of-foot insole. Part 3 displays a back-of-heel insole that would rest along the back upper of the shoe or footwear. Part 4 displays a three-quarters partial insole that runs from the heel to the ball of the foot. Part 5 displays a full insole that would encompass generally the length of the shoe or footwear insole. Part 6 displays a tongue insole that would adhere to the tongue of a shoe or footwear. Part 7 displays a toe separator insole that would adhere to a toe separator in a shoe or footwear such as thong sandals.

This present invention relates to a customizable intelligent footwear. More specifically, the intelligent footwear identifies the needs and requirements of the users and accordingly can self-adjust its various features such as ankle support, arch support, quarter support, and others to enhance comfort and performance of the footwear. The intelligent footwear is integrated with a plurality of sensors and chipsets that collects information regarding user's needs, and based on the collected information adjusts different parameters of the footwear. Additionally, the footwear can be easily paired with a compatible software application to allow the wearers to access information related to their footwear features, step counts, sports related content, walking habits, and other relevant information.

The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for production of three-dimensional constructs with high mechanical strength and/or stiffness.
