SafeSole

GPS tracking in the sole of a shoe!

Formerly known as the SmartSole GPS, SafeSole combines advanced GPS location technology with a discreet insole design, making it ideal for individuals who may be at risk of walking with purpose or becoming lost. Unlike traditional GPS devices that can feel stigmatising or be forgotten at home, SafeSole is hidden inside an everyday shoe, providing a truly unobtrusive solution that users can wear naturally as part of their daily routine.

SafeSole uses a roaming SIM card to connect to the strongest available mobile network, providing reliable location tracking across a wide range of locations and helping maintain connectivity even when travelling. This discreet and dependable approach promotes independence and confidence for the user, while offering reassurance and peace of mind for family members, carers and support teams.

Features and Benefits

  • Discreet Insole Design

    SafeSole is hidden inside an everyday shoe, making it a non-stigmatising alternative to visible GPS trackers or wearable devices. Users can go about their day without drawing attention to the technology, supporting confidence and dignity.

    Less Likely to Be Forgotten

    Because SafeSole is built directly into the shoe, there is no separate device to remember, wear or carry. This helps ensure location support is available whenever the user leaves home.

  • Roaming SIM Connectivity

    Equipped with a roaming SIM card, SafeSole automatically connects to the strongest available mobile network, helping to provide reliable coverage and location updates across a wider geographical area.
