Where have all the NEW shoe step trackers gone? Fitbit Zip / Misfit Shine with 1 months + battery

Hi
With the advent of the SmartWatches, the only alternative seems to be wristbands.
I dont want a wrist band. I would like a shoe tracker not unlike the Misfit Shine or the Fitbit Zip with 1+ months battery life.
I dont want to charge every week / couple of days.
I just want a simple shoe tracker with excellent battery life that connects to MFP.
The market just pushes Smartwatches or Wristbands.
Any ideas, I did buy the Garmin Footpod without doing my homework only to find that Garmin discontinued the app to sync with your smartphone. You can only connect to MFP via the Garmin Connect app and the Footpod is too old and depracated.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I don’t like wearing trackers on my wrist either. I use the Fitbit flex and wear it on my bra (just the tiny tracker without the band). I would love to have a decent foot tracker.1

You can still buy a brand new Zip from eBay.0

I have the versa lite and I bought an ankle band off of Amazon for it so if I don't wanna wear it on my wrist for that day I can wear it on my ankle under my clothes0
