While Lego is great for encouraging and improving kids' creativity and motor skills development, its biggest hazard is when someone accidentally steps on the blocks that are all over the floor. Many adults are familiar with this pain as the tiny bricks can really hurt the undersides of feet. The agony of it has been explicitly detailed in memes and photos on the internet, according to Know Your Meme.
Now, grown-ups can breathe a sigh of relief as a solution is underway and just in time for Christmas gift giving, too! Lego has teamed up with a French agency in creating a special type of slippers that will protect the feet from Lego bricks. The slippers are specially designed with thick Lego-proof soles that will "enable you to walk in the house in the middle of the night without a care," according to Mirror.
Car vos enfants adorent les #LEGO ... mais qu'ils adorent par-dessus tout partager leur passion dans toute la maison ......

But along with this great news comes some bad news as these specialized slippers are going to be released limitedly in France and there will only be 1,500 pairs, according to Piwee. The Lego slippers will be raffled off to lucky winners who will need to sign-up with Lego France's wishlist site.
The rest of the world will have to wait and see if these Lego slippers take off and inspire someone else to create similar specialized slippers.
