Aha. I see. Make light by hiding a generator on the hell of the shoe. Sure, Maxwell Smart, sure. Missed it by that much, chief.

Only thing sillier than this micro-pendulum in the heel is the $28 Million the Army has spent trying to develop soldier heel power. Result is 4" heels and a squashy walk: just the thing for the ambush or minefield. But a million kids have benefitted.. with twinkling shoes.
