Skechers' AirTag shoes let you track your kids' steps

Skechers is stepping into the smart shoe game. Its latest kids' trainers include a hidden slot for an Apple AirTag, letting parents track their child's shoe location using Apple's Find My app. Priced at between $52 and $58, these sneakers aim to offer a modern mix of comfort and digital oversight. But while the tech feels reassuring, there's more to consider than just being able to spot your child's sneakers on a map.

If you're a parent looking for a low-cost way to track where your child's shoes are, this is a creative solution. It's less intrusive than giving them a phone and more flexible than a built-in GPS system. You control the tracker, you install the battery, and you decide who gets access. But don't confuse shoe tracking with child safety. These trainers can offer location updates, but they can't think, speak, or call for help. Think of them as one extra tool, not your only one.
