ABSTRACT:
Footwear for improving the visibility of the wearer uses a circuit including a mechanically operated pressure switching mechanism, disposed in the footwear, to turn a lighting system off and on. The switch is responsive to pressure from the foot of the wearer. When a wearer raises a foot from the ground, the lighting system is activated. When the foot is returned to the ground, the lighting system is deactivated. The system may be disabled by removing a source of power from the circuit, or through the provision of a mechanically operable deactivation mechanism.
