Blue blue, blue GPS shoes make you instantly locatable
Where the heck are you? No one will wonder anymore once you've donned your Isaac Daniel Compass and Blue GPS shoes, now with extra Bluetooth. These kicks talk to your Bluetooth-compatible phone, resulting in the ability to let everybody know where you are every second of the day. As if they care. But really, these might be good to put on your wandering kids or grandpa.
If you don't mind wearing strange-looking white shoes that remind us of those grippy shoes worn by the flight attendant in 2001: A Space Odyssey, go ahead and preorder yourself a pair now for $150. If anti-gravity is not your thing, choose between walking or running shoes in a variety of colors, all of them with that GPS/Bluetooth juju on board.

Sweet! I think I saw some of these made in the form of hooker shoes...
Maybe we could add a feature for distress beacon when you click your heels three times while saying "there's no place like home".
Also, these shoes look like $10 Wal-Mart shoes... Just like every other pair of expensive shoes with weird gadgets in them.

Doesn't every phone made in the last several years already have a GPS locator beacon built into them? You know, so the government can track all of us, for our own good of course.
If someone were to go missing, the police can simply triangulate a person's phone already.
This is just one more thing for the tech junkies to "need".

lmao...I can see the next season of COPs now..
They just sit in the cop car and track the dumb thieves using these sneakers until they stop.

Looks like "thisisonlyatest" won't be purchasing a pair of GPS shoes anytime soon.
Now come on, comments are supposed to be serious, right?
I find these shoes rather pointless due to the fact most cell phones have them. But a rather interesting idea at most.
on your cellphone!
