At last, Shoes with GPS and Bluetooth
Well, I suppose it was about time that someone made a shoe with GPS and Bluetooth compatibility. I’m just surprised that it wasn’t Nike. No, the Isaac Daniel Compass and Blue GPS shoes are most likely a first for the shoe industry, and I’m certain they won’t be the only company with a Blue GPS shoe after a while.
Now, you may ask yourself: why would I want a shoe that is Bluetooth and GPS enabled? Well, if that shoe is linked to your phone via Bluetooth, it can use its GPS functionality to let everyone know where you are. That is, if you are willing to let your friends track you online. I suppose you could use these shoes to track people who tend to wander out of their safe zones, like the elderly or small children (assuming their little feet would fit in these shoes).
In all honesty, I’m really not famous enough to have anyone want to track me by my longitude and latitude. I’m guessing the people who are famous enough to have anyone care about their every movement probably have their own paparazzi following them around anyway. In that case, they probably wouldn’t want their movements to be tracked. Ah, don’t you just love the society we live in?
You can pre-order a pair of these Bluetooth and GPS enabled shoes on the Isaac Daniel Website for just $150.

I just love this idea. They could be used to keep an eye on wayward friends, when you are out and about. They could keep you on “track”, so to speak, when out jogging and yes they could be used to monitor the whereabouts of young, old and the in between. I have to wonder if there might be some lawsuits from individuals, who are being bullied into wearing these shoes, due to the paranoia of their loved ones. The imagination “runs” wild thinking of the possible uses or misuse. Fantastic!

GPS and bluetooth in a shoe is really really high tech I must say. I thought the GPS shoe was totally co. This is even better. Awesome stuff.

GPS in shoes with one hand funny, but thanks to him it will be possible to know where there are close to yours, in particular children

Blue tooth and GPS in running shoes is a great innovation. It is very important. I will surely buy them. Thank you for posting this, or I wouldn’t have known about them.

Like you said, I think maybe this was intended as a safety device. I think I might get these for my dad, who is beginning to just wander off.

If you are counting your footsteps, pedometers are really unreliable. More reliable methods of counting how much or how far you walk in a day rely on GPS tracking. These shoes might be interesting for dieters too.
Thanks for your wonderful website.
