Imagine a pair of smart shoes that connect wirelessly to your smartphone’s navigation app, like Google Maps or Apple Maps.

When smart shoes become mainstream, you’ll be able to key in the location you want to visit or just key the location of your hotel, and at the end of the day, your smart shoes will find your way home without seeming lost and frazzled.
