The trouble is tuning it so that you don't need to actively hold your foot to prevent it actuating, and also having enough feedback on actuation.
I felt that some kind of wireless, in-shoe, toe-activated device might be the best option. But that's not really very practical!

- dharmab 9y agoThat makes me think of motorcycle foot levers, where the back of your foot is supported by and pivots around a peg, allowing you to comfortable and quickly push the lever down.
