Whether piecing together a Medieval fort or a Millennium Falcon, we all know there’s nothing more satisfying than building something out of Lego. But there’s nothing more excruciating than the pain of tiptoeing downstairs the morning after a crafting session and stepping on a rogue block that’s found itself upturned on your carpet.

To counter this, the company has teamed up with its French advertising company, Brand Station, to create a pair of protective slippers to eliminate the pain - and just in time for the Christmas period.

Brand Station revealed the red and yellow footwear on its Facebook page last week, along with a video detailing how they are made.

LEGO NOEL 2015 par Brand Station Car vos enfants adorent les #LEGO ... mais qu'ils adorent par-dessus tout partager leur passion dans toute la maison ... cette année, nous avons imaginé pour vous parents LE cadeau ultime pour #Noël : des chaussons LEGO à la semelle rembourrée qui vous permettront de vous balader en pleine nuit dans la maison ... sans le moindre souci ! ;) #NoelLEGO2015 Posted by Brand Station on Monday, November 9, 2015

They might look like your average pair of slippers, but under the foot they’re built with an extra protective layer so that walking over an entire room full of the pesky plastic bricks will be pain-free.

The square slippers are interchangeable between right and left feet, so it doesn’t matter if you’re putting them on in a hurry to answer the door. We imagine they’d also come in handy for protecting your feet from other brutal household injuries such as stubbing your toe on a table leg and standing on an upturned plug.

The bad news is that Brand Station have only made 1,500 pairs of Lego slippers, which will be given away at random to people who fill out a Christmas wish list on the Lego France website.

But here’s hoping Lego roll them out into their British stores soon, for the sake of our own sanity.
