Hi Tec Navigator boots


Quaking in your boots is about to take on a whole new spin, with Bluetooth-enabled walking gear that vibrates your feet to let you know which way to turn.

Built by Dutch sportswear maker Hi-Tec, the boldly named Navigator boots connect to an app on your phone, where you can enter your walking destination.  Whenever you need to turn right, your right shoe will give a short vibration. The same will happen in your left shoe when you need to turn left. There are also vibration sequences to indicate when you have taken a wrong turn, and when you have arrived at your destination.

The tech in the waterproof boots comes courtesy of Lechal, whose gadgetry was originally designed to help visually impaired people find their way around more easily.
The Navigator boots will cost $300.
