Do GPS Sneakers Actually Exist? When GPS sneakers were first introduced last 2007 there was clearly a lot of public scoffing. Who needs GPS devices on their feet? What an impractical product--dumbest concept of the year! It's now 2011; am i ready for the children yet? The idea for GPS sneakers first came to Isaac Daniels in 2002 when he received an appointment that his child choose to go missing from soccer practice. Mr. Daniels was on a business trip and immediately hopped an aircraft back home to locate that there had been a mix-up: His son had taken an unscheduled bathroom break and was 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 which could be done to help locate him? The answer ' GPS sneakers. The idea was that this GPS unit for the underside in the shoe may be activated by depressing control button. This unit were built with a battery life of approximately 24 hours and would continually signal until the button was depressed a second time. Mr. Daniels suggested this would be perfect for hikers, outdoorsmen and children--the first two in case they were lost while browsing and the latter for extreme cases like abduction. The first GPS sneakers were marketed from the Fele Corporation in 2007 and retailed for $325. They were the sneakers that got trashed in the press. Only a few hiking and travel websites took them seriously. Although the idea was sound, there were little niche for a shoe that needed a $19.95 30 days subscription-monitoring service, plus an initial run was only for a few hundred (though it was reported that retail outlets were preordering them with the tens of thousands). Fele ceased operation in 2008. Undaunted with the failure of his first company, Isaac Daniel continued his dream about 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 with a GPS-enabled phone or PDA. The shoe retailed at $150 with an optional $19.95 subscription-monitoring fee just like the initial GPS sneaker. As with the writing want to know ,, the IsaacDaniel website is finished and so are the shoes. They are not offered by any online or brick-and-mortar retailer. The GTX corporation appears to be the only current viable source for GPS shoes. They have a different story of how the business came up with the theory for GPS tracking in shoes that highlights the Elizabeth Smart case. GTX is looking to have a marketable product available to buy from Aetrex.com with the end of Spring 2011 (by March 2011 there's no mention around the Aetrex site). The estimated retail is between $200 and $300. GTX also announced that the Ambulatory shoe (for dementia patients) will likely be available for $200 at Foot.com, GPSShoe.com, and also at select assisted living facilities, starting in September. The tracking service will set you back $40 to $50 monthly. The tracking service will continue to work with Google maps to watch residents wearing the sneakers. If they travel outside of a predefined area an alert will probably be sent to the care facility while using exact location in the individual. GTX has additionally expressed interest in working with major shoe brands, but they haven't named names, and getting into the children's shoe market.
