WiFi detecting shoes make finding hotspots a kick

sneaker1.jpgPaying for your WiFi when you're out and about sucks. I mean, why should you pay for it when you can get it for free when you know where to look? The problem is, you don't want to have to pull out your laptop to check to see if there's an available signal. That'd just be annoying.

That's why you need to get yourself a pair of these sweet WiFi Snooping Sneakers. They have a built-in WiFi detector that makes detecting a signal as easy as looking down. The small lights on the shoes blink when there's no signal and shine solidly when there is, making finding the right place to stop and set up camp with your laptop a snap. No more paying for WiFi for you!

Hmmm.....Buy a new pair of shoes with WIFI dectection built in, for an undoubtedly exorbatant price. Or simply get a WiFi Keyfob off Ebay for the lowest price possible and keep my well worn but still waterproof Nikes.
