LEGO Creates Anti-LEGO Slippers To End 66 Years Of Horrible Pain
Few forms of sadistic torture in this world are more excruciatingly painful than having to walk across a field of LEGO bricks left on the ground by a careless child or a short-sighted adult. Fortunately, there is now a way to protect yourself from these domestic land mines: the famous building blocks, working together with French advertising agency Brand Station, has invented anti-LEGO slippers! It only took them 66 years, too!
The slippers, which feature tons of padding, will be produced in a limited run of 1,500 and will be distributed randomly to people who fill out Christmas wish-lists on LEGO toys’ French website. This is the perfect way to make those lucky parents’ Christmas dreams come true and alleviate the excruciating pains of stepping on a LEGO!

LEGOs are great, but they have one fatal flaw…

Or you could teach your child to pick up their toys. If they're old enough to play with small Legos they should already heave learned some responsibility.
My son is 6 and picks up his stuff but sometimes always a straggler or two and I seem to always step on em

What's significant about 66? May have made sense with the play on numbers of they said 66.6

I'm just reading these comments and seriously - are most of you completely mental? :) Comparing LEGO stepping to giving birth (I hope this was trolling), complaining how slippers are ugly and not worth the money, teaching children to pick up toys?! THIS IS A CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN. Article is ironic and they are making fun of themselves, in rather funny way too :). Slippers are FREE (for those obsessed with price) and only 1.500 pieces to website applicants are given, as part of a campaign. Read the article, then b**ch about how they are waste of money. And we're all very proud of your children picking up stuff because yeah - this is what this campaign is about, behavioral science and study of picking up LEGOs. Relax, it's almost Christmas and no one is attacking you, it's just a funny, ironic campaign based on all our experience of stepping on LEGOs, no one is saying you're not having best kids ever ;) LEGO - kudos for the campaign, awesome idea ;)
I think the main issue here is thinking you can do anything about it. Sure, it might save you from one or two pieces every now and then, but Lego's and feet are like magnets and the lego will find its way into the slippers and make you step on it twice instead to make up for the times you don't.
Having worn shoes and normal slippers stepping on these, I can say I will not be impressed until they can make them so the Legos don't hurt AND you don't hurt your ankle or fall down with the inevitable twist that ones foot normally does when stepping on these or similar items,
What if i told you , those are the devil's slippers 66 = 666 illuminati confirmed. The person wearing those has the power to cause unlimited levels of pain to whom he steps on.
This should be a Christmas promo "FREE pair with every LEGO set purchase" 😜
Be better if the LEGOs attached to the slippers, making it easy to pick them up as well.
I would love to have a pair of Lego slippers.I played with them when I was young, and with my kids and now my grandkids!!!
How about teach your kids to pick up their toys after they play with them?And if they don't,the Lego's get boxed up and given away.
What do I have to do to be a possible winner? They would come in handy with my step son he is always forgetting to pick a few up and it always seems like I manage to find them by stepping on them

I reckon it's the " fourers" that are the most painful after extensive unintentional research!

When I was a kid we had brick vac so I would say this doesn't actually end 66 years of pain. http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/1666_Brick_Vac
Waste of money. And they are ugly too. How about just teaching your kids to clean up their room. My daughter is 5 yrs old and she cleans up her room at night before bath time.
Why when there is a problem we always create a new useless and unnecessary object? Oh, yeah, I know: money! Seriously, you don't need LEGO slippers for that, you just need to 1- educate your children and 2- use normal slippers if your children are stupid brats who don't understand rules But I get it, it will be a limited edition so it must something you MUST have. And it wears a brand which would make it cost twice the price of normal slippers if it was on the market, so...
Wow! Be cool. It is just funny gadget connected with something a lot of people experienced. Of course it's made for profit. Everything we can buy is made for profit :). Tell me that You didn't spend any money on something that's kind of gadget and You're free to go ;)

The end to suffering is not slippers Nope the f********* would fight their way into the front bit....and destroy you anyway Those slippers need to be knee high And the only sure solution is a Dyson... (Experienced logo fighter since 1998)
The plural of Lego is Lego or Lego Bricks, google it, you sound like morons when you say "legos".
Seriously? Morons? I am 62 years old, my boys played with LEGOS, my grandchildren have LEGOS, and I worked in Kindergarten for over 20 years, where they were called LEGOS by the teachers and students. Never have I heard anyone call them Lego Bricks, or say "let's bring out the Lego for the kids".

Seriously?! "Sadistic torture...more excruciatingly painful than having to walk across a field of LEGOs" Try giving birth, without drugs, to a 9 lb. 9 oz. baby that will eventually play with them!
