Do GPS Sneakers Actually Exist? When GPS sneakers were first introduced back in 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 found Isaac Daniels back in 2002 when he received a call that his child went missing from soccer practice. Mr. Daniels was over a business trip and immediately hopped a plane back home to find that there have been a mix-up: His son had taken an unscheduled bathroom break and ended up separated from his class. Mr. Daniels was relieved, nevertheless it set his mind to thinking. What if his son had actually gone missing? Wasn't there something which could be implemented to help locate him? The answer ' GPS sneakers. The idea was that this GPS unit about the underside with 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 may be perfect for hikers, outdoorsmen and children--the first couple of in case they were lost while seeking and the latter for extreme cases like abduction. The first GPS sneakers were marketed with 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 thought was sound, there were little niche for a shoe that needed a $19.95 a month subscription-monitoring service, as well as an initial run was just for a few hundred (eventhough it was reported that retail stores were preordering them by the tens of thousands). Fele ceased operation in 2008. Undaunted through the failure of his first company, Isaac Daniel continued his dream of GPS shoes. His second endeavor, IsaacDaniel.com , marketed a new GPS sneaker line ' the Blue shoe. The Blue shoe was equipped with Bluetooth technology that connected the shoe to some GPS-enabled phone or PDA. The shoe retailed at $150 with 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 finished and so are the sneakers. They are not sold at any online or brick-and-mortar retailer. The GTX corporation appears to be the only current viable source for GPS shoes. They have an alternative story of how the organization came up with the concept for GPS tracking in shoes that highlights the Elizabeth Smart case. GTX is expecting to have a marketable product available for purchase from Aetrex.com with the end of Spring 2011 (since March 2011 there is no mention around the Aetrex site). The estimated retail is between $200 and $300. GTX also announced the Ambulatory shoe (for dementia patients) will probably be available for $200 at Foot.com, GPSShoe.com, and 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 observe residents wearing these shoes. If they travel away from a predefined area an alert will likely be sent to the care facility with all the exact location in the individual. GTX has additionally expressed fascination with working with major shoe brands, even though they haven't named names, and coming into the children's shoe market.
