GPS Tracking Shoes For Your Friend Who Gets Lost

By Caitlin Corsetti

Our friends have different personalities when they drink. You have the friend that suddenly becomes really funny, the friend that becomes a total jerk, the friend who becomes a photographer. And then there’s that one friend that has the tendency to bolt away from the group and gallivants off into the night without their cellphone, wallet, or keys. You hope to see them the next day extraordinarily hungover, but alive.

I’ve been this friend before. It happened on Tacky Christmas my junior year. I ran away from my boyfriend at the time. Obviously my drunk self wanted out of the relationship so much that I sprinted around my apartment building just to get away. I like to think it happens to everyone at some point, but I do have one friend that does this all.the.time. Well, problem solved.

Thanks to Aertrex, you can now track your runaway friend with GPS shoes. These are actually made for senior citizens suffering from memory loss disorders or have the tendency to become lost, which is really great. There are tons of stories where the elderly end up lost and their families can’t find them, but now there’s a way to avoid that. In all seriousness, these shoes are a fantastic invention. But these really could be awesome for that friend that runs away. I’ve heard stories from friends who lose someone for several days, which is really scary. It’d be great if we could track all of our friends to avoid situations like that. Actually, I think there’s a creepy app for that.

What do you think about these shoes? Do you have any friends that always get lost from the group?
