Lego slippers - protecting parents' feet from stray Lego bricks

Every parent with a Lego-loving child will at some point have experienced the pain of stepping on a rogue Lego brick.

Now ad agency Brand Station has worked with the famous Danish toy firm to come up with a solution – Lego-branded slippers with an extra-thick sole, protecting sensitive feet from the agony of Lego-tread.

Even the most delicate-footed soul could march into a child’s bedroom with confidence in a pair of these brightly coloured slippers – but unfortunately availability is limited. Only 1,500 sets are being made, and they’ll be given away to customers who create a wish-list on the Lego France website.

In a post on their Facebook page Brand Station said: “Because your kids love Lego ... this year we have imagined for you parents the ultimate gift for Christmas: Lego slippers with a padded sole which will enable you to walk around the house in the middle of the night ... without any worries!”

Quite how these yellow-and-red rectangular slippers do more to protect your feet than the average indoor footwear, we do not know – but they’re certainly eye-catching, and proud recipients have been sharing pictures of their Lego slippers on social media with using the hashtag #noellego2015.

Although currently only available via Lego's French site, we imagine some will crop up on eBay in the near future - but will you be looking for a pair?
