49

Milestone Sports Ltd. is pleased to announce immediate availability and shipping of their MilestonePod wearable device.

The MilestonePod attaches to your running or walking shoe to provide detailed activity information and to help you know the proper time to replace your shoes.  The best part about it, it’s simple! No buttons to push, no battery to recharge, just lace the Pod on your shoe and go. The always on, always ready device is tracking every step you take, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

“We believe the MilestonePod is going to be a valuable tool for runners, walkers and retailers, said Jason Kaplan, Milestone CEO. “Our customers have been anxiously awaiting the product and we are delighted to have it readily available for consumers and retailers.”

“Milestone is a great example of the type of company we love to work with at the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship (MCE), said Julie Lenzer Kirk, Executive Director of the MCE. “They are using innovative technology to benefit consumers and retailers creating solutions where everyone wins. We are excited to see where this technology goes. “

The MilestonePod’s built in display shows the total mileage on the shoe to allow the Pod to be used for total mileage tracking.  The Pod also has Bluetooth 4.0 and Milestone offers a free mobile app for more detailed walk or run data.  After syncing wirelessly to your phone you can view run distance, pace, weekly mileage, run history, cadence and more.  The Pods also store 20 hours of activity data between syncs so you can run without your phone.

The MilestonePod offers tremendous value to retailers.  Merchants can make offers or provide coaching tips to customers based on their personal activity.  Retailers never see a customer’s personal data or activity data, but can send automated offers at the exact moment a shoe need to be replaced.

The MilestonePod retails for $19.95 at select retailers and on the company’s web site.
