Embodiments of a system and methods for using a sensing attached to footwear are generally described herein. A device may include an accelerometer to measure a force, a transceiver to: send information about the force to an external device, and receive a response from the external device, the response indicating whether the force exceeded a threshold and occurred within a specified timing window around a sensory output. The device may include feedback hardware to generate feedback when the response indicates that the force fell below the threshold or occurred outside the specified timing window.
