NEW YORK — This one goes out to anyone who has ever experienced the excruciating, blinding, mind-numbing pain of stepping on a tiny plastic brick.

LEGO brand has joined forces with French advertising company Brand Station to design a pair of slippers that put the safety of your feet before all else, according to Huffington Post. That's right, you no longer have to wear steel-toed boots when tiptoeing around the battleground of your child's bedroom floor.

The limited-edition LEGO slippers are made with extra padding at the insoles, keeping your feet safe from any lurking LEGOs that may pose a threat. Composed of bold yellows and reds and branded with a giant LEGO insignia, they're easy to spot even when you're fumbling out of bed.

But before you hop on Amazon to order, be advised: The company produced just 1,500 pairs and will be randomly distributing the coveted footwear to people who fill out a Christmas wish list on the LEGO France website, according to the French blog, Piwee.

That means the odds of getting your hands — or your feet, rather — on this brilliant invention are much lower than the odds of actually stepping on a LEGO today.

People are clearly captivated by the holiday promotion — a Brand Station video showing the design and manufacturing of the slippers has been viewed more than 225,000 times.
