Search light shoes




These shoes are designed to light up when the user snaps their heals together (ditto Dorothy wizard of oz). there are 2 settings: a constant light or flashing on only when heals are clicked. their use is for children to be easily and quickly seen when lost out and about. these shoes were made by the integration and modification of dynamo powered torches into a simple pair of pumps. For the shoes ( there are 2 I'll pop a video of them working together up this week) to be completely wearable the electronics need to be smaller and integrated better but a quick prototype to shoe the concept works. below is a picture of how bright the light is and a video of them flashing.
thanks
