First Gps shoes guide you home!!!



The "no place like home" shoes were inspired by the "Wizard of Oz. Created by British designer Dominic Wilcox they are programmed to guide you home "no matter what!". The shoes include an gps receiver and an antenna and the user must upload his destination via a custom made mapping software and usb cable. So, with a simple click of the heels the magic shoes will make it easier to find your way home. Each shoe has a series of LED lights, the right shoe shows a progress bar of how far the wearer has to go and the left shoe points the direction to the wearer. Would you wear these shoes? Do you find them useful? Tell us in the comments below?
