  7. Customer Feedback and Results ● Could you use a variety of colors to match shoes? ○ We said that it could be made smaller if we locate smaller magnets, and a variety of fabrics could be utilized to match shoes. ● How heavy is it, and does it add much weight to the foot? ○ Devices are very lightweight. ● Would you add velcro to the side for shoelace security? ○ We would cut the excess lace off, or offer shoelaces of the correct length. ● Does the shoe move around and or does the magnalace come loose? ○ Shoes are very secure with Magnalaces added, and have to be removed with intentional force if the handles are not used. ● Customer said it was a beneficial product that would definitely help those who need it.

  8. Conclusions ● Improvements: ○ Smaller magnets for smaller overall design ○ More discreet design for product ○ More accurate CAD of design ● Conclusion ○ Product functions as intended ○ Product would be beneficial for people with fine motor disabilities ○ We are satisfied with our design.
