Do GPS Sneakers Actually Exist? When GPS sneakers were first introduced in 2007 there is a lot of public scoffing. Who needs GPS devices on the feet? What an impractical product--dumbest concept of the year! It's now 2011; shall we be ready on their behalf yet? The idea for GPS sneakers first came to Isaac Daniels back in 2002 when he received a trip that his child had opted missing from soccer practice. Mr. Daniels was on the business trip and immediately hopped a plane back home to discover that there have been a mix-up: His son had taken an unscheduled bathroom break and was 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 a thing that could be completed to help locate him? The answer ' GPS sneakers. The idea was how the GPS unit about the underside in the shoe could possibly be activated by depressing control button. 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 may be perfect for hikers, outdoorsmen and children--the first 2 in case we were holding lost while browsing and the latter for extreme cases like abduction. The first GPS sneakers were marketed by the Fele Corporation in 2007 and retailed for $325. They were the sneakers that got trashed within the press. Only a few hiking and travel websites took them seriously. Although the theory was sound, there is little industry for a shoe that needed a $19.95 a month subscription-monitoring service, plus an initial run was just for a few hundred (although it was reported that retail stores were preordering them by the tens of thousands). Fele ceased operation in 2008. Undaunted by the failure of his first company, Isaac Daniel continued his imagine GPS shoes. His second endeavor, IsaacDaniel.com , marketed a brand new GPS sneaker line ' the Blue shoe. The Blue shoe was equipped with Bluetooth technology that connected the shoe to your GPS-enabled phone or PDA. The shoe retailed at $150 by having an optional $19.95 subscription-monitoring fee exactly like the initial GPS sneaker. As in the writing informed, the IsaacDaniel website is gone and so are the shoes. They are not available at any online or brick-and-mortar retailer. The GTX corporation is apparently 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 looking to have a marketable product for sale from Aetrex.com from the end of Spring 2011 (since March 2011 there isn't any mention for the Aetrex site). The estimated retail is between $200 and $300. GTX also announced that this Ambulatory shoe (for dementia patients) will be available for $200 at Foot.com, GPSShoe.com, and at select assisted living facilities, starting in September. The tracking service will set you back $40 to $50 monthly. The tracking service will work with Google maps to watch residents wearing the shoes. If they travel beyond a predefined area an alert is going to be sent to the care facility with the exact location in the individual. GTX has additionally expressed desire for working with major shoe brands, although they haven't named names, and getting into the children's shoe market.
