It's a system of physioelectric pulse generators, mabye with quartz crystals. When there's a vibration, a weak voltage pulse is created. Combind enough of them and a usable voltage can be created.
There are some neat clothing designs out there with communications/lights/etc.. built into them and powered by generators in the shoes. All experimental now.
Initial cost, maintinance, and cost savings are factors in viability.
