Track your kids via new Skechers shoes with a hidden AirTag compartment

Parents can put an AirTag into a hidden compartment of the new shoes in the Find My Sketchers collection to track the location of their child in the Find My app.

Apple’s AirTag item tracker isn’t just a convenient way to keep track of your luggage when traveling, keys, cars, wallets and other personal belongings; now you can put them in a pair of new Sketchers shoes.

This enables parents to track the whereabouts of their kids wearing these shoes in the Items section of the Find My app on their iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch, as well as on the web at iCloud.com.

Sketchers brings the new Find My Skechers collection with a hidden AirTag compartment

The new Find My Skechers collection brings AirTag functionality. The company’s YouTube commercial claims that kids won’t feel anything as the hidden compartment doesn’t impact comfort. The compartment is completely invisible.

“Upgrade your kid’s shoes with Find My Skechers…compatible with an Apple AirTag! Just buy and insert your tracking device into the sole’s hidden compartment,” reads the video description. “They come in perfect designs for school and have all the soft cushioning that children love, so that they’ll be comfortable all day while you have comfort of mind.”

The AirTag participates in Apple’s Find My network, which relies on crowd-sourced data to enable location tracking. An AirTag stashed in the hidden compartment will report its location via the kid’s iPhone or other Apple device.

If they went out without their iPhone or another Apple device on them, the AirTag will rely on nearby iPhone and Android devices (via Bluetooth) to pick up its signal and report its location to the Find My network.

Apple doesn’t condone using AirTags for tracking small children who could swallow the item tracker. But in this case, there’s no such danger as an AirTag is safely tucked in the hidden compartment. Parents can also give their kid an Apple Watch with cellular capability to track their whereabouts.

The new Find My Skechers collections comprises a variety of shoe styles, with prices ranging from $52-58 per pair.
