I HAVE MET MANY HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WITH THE WORST SENSE OF DIRECTION, EXCEPT IT'S USUALLY WHILE DRIVING.

BUT WALKING?????

I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THEIR NEXT HOOKUP, DATE, CLUB, NAIL SALON, GYM OR REFRIGERATOR--LOL

INTRODUCING THE SHOE THAT TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO...


(The shoes and insoles will be available in September for around $100. They’re compatible with iPhones, Android and Windows phones. You can sign up to pre-order them now).

 "Technology never settles, guys. Now shoes are getting even smarter.

An Indian company called Lechal has created sneakers and insoles that pair with an app and Google Maps to help you get from place to place.

The shoe and insole are both connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

You input a destination on the app and then as you walk around, your left or right shoe vibrates to show you which way to turn.

You can either wear the sneakers, which come in red or black, or put the insoles in shoes you already have..."

 The shoes and insoles were originally designed to help blind people navigate, in conjunction with a cane.


As the company began to develop the shoes, it became clear that they could also have other uses.

For every pair of footwear sold, Lechal will subsidize another pair for someone who is visually impaired.

The shoes don’t just tell you where to go. They also serve as a pedometer and a calorie tracker.



REPEAT:            YOUR INSOLES ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR PHONE
                             YES THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT !
                              THEY REMIND ME OF THE JETSONS (in a good way)
                              OR STAR TREK...
