Position both sneakers so that they are lined up next to each other.  Note where each Reed Sensor is located. On the opposite sneaker, install the magnet so that when the two sneakers are brought together they will trigger the Reed Sensors.

The magnets I used are cylindrical and axially oriented, so they work best when the round side is brought close to the Reed Sensor.  I used electrical tape to make a little sling that I wrapped around the magnet and attached to the velcro.  Make sure that the magnets are secure.
