WHAT
GPS for your feet. A comfy pair of insoles with haptic feedback and sensors, for smarter, intuitive navigation, fitness and peace of mind. Transform almost any pair of shoes into Smart Shoes.
WHY
Navigate safely: Instead of looking at your phone, a buzzing vibration from your sole lets you know when to turn and stop. Connected to your phone’s GPS, it even works offline, which makes it perfect for travel. No more looking like a lost tourist.
Senior Citizen Care: The discreet buzzing guides seniors to where they need to go, turn by turn, even if their vision is impaired, or they get lost. Phone alerts and GPS locations can be automatically sent to caregivers and family members. The pods vibrate to signal when your destination is reached.
Accuracy: more accurate tracking than a phone app alone, as the sole counts each step you take. If you don’t want to replace your insole, no problem: you can strap the pods (batteries) to the top of your shoe using the included buckle. Counts steps, calories, and distance. Works for walking, running, cycling. The pods vibrate to signal when your workout goal is complete.
HOW
Battery Life: The rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery lasts up to 15 days before needing a recharge. Plus the company donates a portion of the proceeds of the sale of every pair towards subsidizing a pair for someone who is visually-challenged.
Syncing: No need to carry your phone if you don’t want to; the pods can sync via bluetooth later. Works with Apple Health and Google Fit.
Comfort: The very comfy cushioned soles can be cut to fit your foot size. Or you can remove the pod from the sole and attach it to your shoes with the buckles. The pods are thin and small: 8.2 mm thick and 24.2 mm wide.
