+mousekakat Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 GPS Athletic Shoe by Isaac Daniel Isaac Daniel’s Compass™ line of sneakers pushes the limits of how technology can function in footwear. This innovative technology embedded into a line of athletic shoes promises to locate the shoe on the earth's surface with the press of a button. This GPS athletic shoe blends simplicity, high quality and technology. Created by inventor and designer, Isaac Daniel, and providing technology through its advanced footwear locating capabilities, the shoe has the potential to save lives through its patent pending Quantum Satellite Technology™ and "Covert Alarm Locator Apparatus™ system" with GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking abilities. The Compass™ sneaker is, says Daniel, “the world’s most advanced GPS enabled satellite locator shoes, the first to protect the privacy of its wearers and the first to use a Covert Alarm Locator Apparatus™ (CALA) system.” The GPS technology is embedded into seven different men’s and women’s sneaker models with 19 color combinations; are outfitted with a micro computer with satellite tracking communications capability, that, in the event of a perceived crisis by the wearer, a panic button can be pushed if they are in trouble and want to be located. Clearly, the GPS technology housed in the athletic shoe can be used to locate the whereabouts of the shoe and may serve as a valuable tool in assisting local law enforcement in locating the wearer. Wonder if they could be hacked to be used without their pricy service? Quote Link to comment

+mousekakat Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 I've got a better solution Oh crap, do I need that for Hou(n)dini! I swear, my stupid (or not so stupid) dog can open doors if they aren't locked and she's a husky, so when she escapes, she escapes until she's ready to come home! Quote Link to comment
+Moore9KSUcats Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The cost of a GPS athletic shoe by Isaac Daniel is only $340 per pair with a $19.95 per month (on a 1-year service contract and $16.95 per month on a 2-year service contract). They are available in Men’s and Women’s sizes now and children’s sizes are coming soon. Interesting.... I end up buying a new pair of tennis shoes every 6 months to 1 year. They are my daily footwear. (I do buy well-supporting shoes, not cheap ones.) Does the contract extend to the new pair, or do you have to sign up for a new contract with each pair you buy?
