Do GPS Sneakers Actually Exist? When GPS sneakers were first introduced back 2007 there was clearly a lot of public scoffing. Who needs GPS devices on his or her feet? What an impractical product--dumbest idea of the year! It's now 2011; shall we be held ready on their behalf yet? The idea for GPS sneakers first found Isaac Daniels last 2002 when he received a trip that his child choose to go missing at school. Mr. Daniels was on the business trip and immediately hopped an aircraft back home to get that there ended up 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 on the underside with the shoe may be activated by depressing some control. This unit stood a battery life around 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 2 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 inside the press. Only a few hiking and travel websites took them seriously. Although the thought was sound, there were little industry for a shoe that needed a $19.95 monthly subscription-monitoring service, plus an initial run only agreed to be for a few hundred (even though it was reported that stores 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 desire 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 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 in the writing as soon as i've, the IsaacDaniel website is finished and so are the 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 looking to have a marketable product for sale from Aetrex.com with the end of Spring 2011 (since March 2011 there isn't any 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, possibly at select assisted living facilities, starting in September. The tracking service will set you back $40 to $50 each month. The tracking service works with Google maps to monitor residents wearing the shoes. If they travel outside a predefined area an alert will be sent to the care facility with all the exact location with the individual. GTX has also expressed desire for working with major shoe brands, but they haven't named names, and stepping into the children's shoe market.
