HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
A new pair of sneakers could keep your loved ones from getting lost.
The shoes designed to help keep tabs on elderly people with Alzheimer's or dementia who tend to wander off. The shoes come with Velcro straps or laces.
But what you can't see, is the GPS device inside them. That device links up to a tracking web site, where you can keep an eye on your loved one's location.
You do have to charge the shoes every so often for about two hours and they aren't cheap. The shoes retail for about $300.
