Ladies, have you ever wanted to know exactly where and what your man was up to? Well, your chance to keep tabs on him may be just over the horizon. I recently found a number of reports detailing a new innovation in the world of footwear: GPS shoes. No joke. The shoes are being developed to keep track of Alzheimer’s patients, but who knows where the concept will go from there…

The reports said that a designer of orthopedic footwear and a GPS tracking manufacturer announced an agreement to develop GPS-embedded shoes for seniors with dementia. They formed their partnership to “enable loved ones and caretakers to know where the Alzheimer’s patient is at all times, with almost-certainty that his or her shoes will not be removed.”

The technology will enable an alert to be sent to a mobile phone or computer when and where a predetermined boundary is crossed by the patient. The new footwear is set to be tested later this year.

Sadly, Shoefly isn’t presently carrying any GPS-embedded shoes at the moment, and there aren’t any plans (yet) to do so, but we are playing host to a variety of new men’s designer shoes. Even if you can’t keep track of him 24/7 just yet, you can make him look good in great shoes.
