A Lamp Unto My Feet...
At a family get-together yesterday, my 6-year-old "niece" showed up with the brightest LED-sneakers I have ever seen. The whole sole lit up in the solid or flashing color of your choice, or a full-on disco dance-floor of alternating colors.
My wife asked where the batteries go and my "niece" said, "No batteries...they plug in!" Sure enough they had a usb recepticle.
I looked online and a few companies make these full-sole LED shoes in adult sizes, and they say 5-6 hours run time on a charge. And most are under $30!
I won't be doing any regular night-time commuting until next fall, but since I wear regular sneakers with toe-clips, I am going to see about picking up a pair in black for next season!

I thought I included a link and a photo, but apparently I didn't.
Thanks, dedhed!
