Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0410560A2] An article of footwear such as a slipper has its upper 10 formed in the shape of an animal or other creature, such as a cat. Eyes 11 of the animal each incorporate a light bulb 12 connected to a power source 13 and to a pressure-operated switch 15 located in the heel 16. As a wearer is walking, the bulbs 12 are caused to be energised intermittently as pressure is alternately placed on and removed from the switch 15.
