Have you ever wished you had a tracking device in your shoes? I’d venture to say no! But there’s a number of inventors and shoe designers who think different. I’m talking about GPS for your feet. Part tennis shoe, part Global Positioning System (GPS), running and walking shoes enabled with GPS are all the rage these days. That might be an over-statement considering I have never seen them in stores.

Designed for runners and walkers, GPS footwear is designed to keep you from getting lost in the park, or make a distress call. Sounds like a good safety solution for those who enjoy a late night run, or parents wishing to keep track of their kids.
