Do GPS Sneakers Actually Exist? When GPS sneakers were first introduced back 2007 there was a lot of public scoffing. Who needs GPS devices on the feet? What an impractical product--dumbest notion of the year! It's now 2011; shall we be ready on their behalf yet? The idea for GPS sneakers first found Isaac Daniels last 2002 when he received a call that his child had opted missing from school. Mr. Daniels was on the business trip and immediately hopped an airplane back home to locate that there ended up a mix-up: His son had taken an unscheduled bathroom break and had been separated from his class. Mr. Daniels was relieved, however it set his mind to thinking. What if his son had actually gone missing? Wasn't there something that could be implemented to help locate him? The answer ' GPS sneakers. The idea was that the GPS unit around the underside in the shoe could be activated by depressing some control. This unit a battery life of approximately 24 hours and would continually signal prior to the button was depressed a second time. Mr. Daniels suggested this could be perfect for hikers, outdoorsmen and children--the first couple of in case these were lost while browsing and the latter for extreme cases like abduction. The first GPS sneakers were marketed through the Fele Corporation in 2007 and retailed for $325. They were the sneakers that got trashed inside the press. Only a few hiking and travel websites took them seriously. Although the concept was sound, there was little niche for a shoe that needed a $19.95 monthly subscription-monitoring service, with an initial run was only for a few hundred (though it was reported that retail stores were preordering them from the tens of thousands). Fele ceased operation in 2008. Undaunted from the failure of his first company, Isaac Daniel continued his desire GPS shoes. His second endeavor, IsaacDaniel.com , marketed a brand new GPS sneaker line ' the Blue shoe. The Blue shoe was designed with Bluetooth technology that connected the shoe to your GPS-enabled phone or PDA. The shoe retailed at $150 having an optional $19.95 subscription-monitoring fee exactly like the initial GPS sneaker. As with the writing as soon as i've, the IsaacDaniel website is fully gone and so are these comfortable shoes. They are not sold at any online or brick-and-mortar retailer. The GTX corporation seems to be the only current viable source for GPS shoes. They have an alternative story of how the business came up with the theory for GPS tracking in shoes that highlights the Elizabeth Smart case. GTX is hoping to have a marketable product available for sale from Aetrex.com from the end of Spring 2011 (by March 2011 there is absolutely no mention about the Aetrex site). The estimated retail is between $200 and $300. GTX also announced that this Ambulatory shoe (for dementia patients) is going to be available for $200 at Foot.com, GPSShoe.com, and also at select assisted living facilities, starting in September. The tracking service will cost $40 to $50 each month. The tracking service works with Google maps to monitor residents wearing the sneakers. If they travel away from a predefined area an alert will be sent to the care facility while using exact location of the individual. GTX has additionally expressed fascination with working with major shoe brands, whilst they haven't named names, and entering into the children's shoe market.
