Xiaomi Mijia Smart shoes actually is a normal shoes that comes with an intelligent tracker that will keep track of the steps taken and via the Mi Fit app you can get more details regarding your physical activities.
The quality of the shoes is great, comfortable to wear, attractive design, breathable and using the fishbone arch lock system that will fix your feet tightly and this design reduces the risk of sprain in movement.
The outsole quality is also pretty good, tough, light weight and slip resistance. Remove the insole to reveal the tracking chip compartment, there is a rubber covering you can remove that before inserting the chip. Now both the left and right shoes come with the compartment.

Performance
Install Mi Fit app on your smartphone and then go to devices to add the Xiaomi Smart Shoes. Better pair the Amazfit intelligent tracker before inserting into the smart shoes, as you need to vigorously shake the tracker to pair.
Any firmware update will happen via the Mi Fit app. As long as you wear the shoes and walk the tracker inside will monitor the steps. This Amazfit smart tracker will only count for specific activities like walking, jogging and running.
If you are riding a bike or driving a car then the count will not be accurate / will not count when your legs are still. As far as accuracy is concerned, you will get far more accurate results with the smart shoes.
Check the video review where I have shown the reading with Amazfit Pace smartwatch and with this Xiaomi Smart shoes. The button cell battery I guess will easily last for over 2 months, depending on your usage.
I am using this Xiaomi Smart Shoes everyday for my daily morning walk, very comfortable, light weight and in case I forget to carry my smartwatch no issues, the shoes will track my activities.
You do not need to carry your smartphone, next time you use the Mi Fit app the app will automatically connect with the smart shoes and sync the data.
Verdict
Though you can use a smartwatch to monitor your physical activities, you can also invest in a Smart shoes that will be even more accurate and can track other things that a smartwatch cannot, like the rising rate.
You can also buy the Amazfit Smart Shoes tracker separately but makes sense to buy the Xiaomi Mijia Smart shoes that comes with the special compartment to house the tracker.
