Then it kinda wore off after they couldn't get the shoes working.
It basically charges particles with an extra electron, so you have a whole bunch of extra electrons that are cut off from everything else (due to the insulation in your shoes) that jump away from you when you touch something.
It's the same concept as rubbing your feet on carpet, except powered by batteries.
I suppose you could positively charge yourself too, the main thing is that you need a different charge than your (neutral) surroundings.
