For parents looking to keep an eye on their school-aged children or those venturing out on their own, the thought of using a tracking device may have crossed their minds. Skechers has addressed this need by launching a new range of children’s sneakers featuring a hidden compartment that securely accommodates an Apple AirTag, enabling parents to track their kids’ locations discreetly.
The Find My Skechers collection offers various designs and colors, catering to sizes from toddlers to children up to eight years old. The design includes a plastic compartment embedded in the cushioned midsole, which can be easily accessed by lifting the shoe’s insole and fabric web liner, thus protecting the AirTag while allowing wireless signals to transmit unhindered.
While many accessories for AirTags exist to securely attach these devices to active youngsters, Skechers takes it a step further. The compartment features a secure lid that screws into place, which helps to prevent children from tampering with it. Furthermore, the compact size of the AirTag makes it a safer option for toddlers who may explore by putting objects in their mouths.
In keeping with the concept of discretion, the shoes bear no visible branding that suggests an AirTag is hidden inside. They maintain the classic aesthetic of Skechers sneakers, making them a subtle option for monitoring children’s whereabouts.
