Power-absorbant Insoles

The Power-absorbant Insoles are objects that appear in the Sonic Boom television series. Created by Dr. Eggman, they were used in one of Eggman's schemes to turn Sonic the Hedgehog's speed against him.

Description
The Power-absorbant Insoles are built into an orange pair of shoes, fitted with red lights, grey soles, turquise patterns and tall white rims.

When Sonic the Hedgehog is running with them, the Power-absorbant Insoles are able to conduct the power he generates to the Giant Robot as an external power source; the faster Sonic goes, the more powerful the robot becomes. Additionally, the shoes are able to store the power Sonic generates, like a battery, thereby preventing the Giant Robot from powering down should Sonic stop running. As a safety measure, the shoes cannot be taken off, though, as implied by Sonic, it is only very difficult to do.

History
In his latest trap to beat Team Sonic, Dr. Eggman developed the Power-absorbant Insoles to turn Sonic's speed into a power source for his Giant Robot. After making Sonic believe that he had begun creating a horrible noise when running (which Eggman had faked), Eggman managed to earn Sonic's trust and gave him a pair of specially made shoes with the Power-absorbant Insoles under the pretense that they would neutralize the sound. When the shoes seemingly prevented the noise after Sonic put them on, Eggman later attacked Team Sonic with his Giant Robot which grew stronger the more Sonic ran with the shoes in battle, thereby making the robot unbeatable. Unable to remove the Power-absorbant Insoles or prevent the robot from powering down, Sonic used the shoes to his advantage by running around increasing faster, thereby giving the Giant Robot so much power that it overloaded.

Trivia

 * The shoes turning Sonic's strength into his weakness as well as being locked onto his feet are similar functions to the Slow-Down Boots in Sonic Labyrinth. While these shoes did not slow Sonic down, they are stuck to his feet and serve a purpose in favour for Dr. Eggman.
 * Dr. Eggman would haved explained how he caused the deafening sound to play every time Sonic ran, but Amy destroyed his presentation before he could.
