kickstarter might be of interest ...
SolePower is a power-generating shoe insole for charging portable electronics like cell phones, music players, or GPS devices.
Foot-powered, energy harvesting devices aren't anything new. What we're doing differently is building the device into a removable insole so it doesn't need to be embedded in a shoe. This means you can swap it between your favorite pair of sneakers and your hiking boots.

Just read it. Between 2.5 and 5 miles of walking for a full (iPhone) charge is not bad at all.

From the page: "Your feet will get wet and our device will keep working! The whole device will be waterproofed. This includes the battery pack and all cable connections."
