The Blue shoe was equipped with Bluetooth technology

When GPS sneakers were first introduced back in 2007 there was a lot of public scoffing. Who needs GPS devices on their feet? What an impractical product--dumbest concept of the entire year! It's now 2011; are we ready for them yet?
The concept for GPS sneakers first found Isaac Daniels back in 2002 when he received a call that his child choose to go missing from school. Mr. Daniels was on a business trip and immediately hopped a plane back home to find there had been a mix-up: His son had taken an unscheduled bathroom break coupled with been 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 completed to help locate him? The answer ' GPS sneakers.
The concept could be that the GPS unit around the underside of the shoe could be activated by depressing a button. This unit were built with a battery life of approximately 24 hours and would continually signal before the button was depressed again. Mr. Daniels suggested this would be perfect for hikers, outdoorsmen and children--the first couple of in case they were lost while exploring and also the latter for extreme cases like abduction.
The first GPS sneakers were marketed through the Fele Corporation in 2007 and retailed for $325. They were the sneakers that got trashed in the press. Only a few hiking and travel websites took them seriously. Although the idea was sound, there is little marketplace for a shoe that needed a $19.95 per month subscription-monitoring service, as well as an initial run was only for a few hundred (even though it was reported that stores were preordering them by the tens of thousands). Fele ceased operation in 2008.
Undaunted through the failure of his first company, Isaac Daniel continued his imagine GPS shoes. His second endeavor, IsaacDaniel , marketed a brand new GPS sneaker line ' the Blue shoe. The Blue shoe crampon mercurial was equipped with Bluetooth technology that connected the shoe to a GPS-enabled phone or PDA. The shoe retailed at $150 by having an optional $19.95 subscription-monitoring fee similar to the initial GPS sneaker.
