Sonaeno Safety Light Room Shoes

You never know when the next major earthquake will strike: this is the reality the Japanese have to live with from the day they are born. And because it might very well strike at night, and because one of the first casualties of major earthquakes are utility infrastructures, you might find yourself trying to evacuate in the dark, possibly through debris and broken glass. If that time comes (or, if you are in Japan, when that time comes), you'll be glad to have a pair of Sonaeno Safety Light Room Shoes next to your bed!

They look (and are) a pair of comfortable indoor shoes to wear in your leisure time. But beyond that, the Sonaeno Safety Light Room Shoes are compliant with the JIS T 8101 standard, much like footwear worn at construction sites. In other words, if a 100 kg (220 lb) person wears them and stands on a nail, it won't penetrate! You can even walk on broken glass. And as for the dark part, they come equipped with LED lights that can turn on immediately when you put them on, or you can turn them on and off at will!
