A perfect gift for Dad: Steel-toed socks?

A perfect gift for Dad: Steel-toed socks?

Technically, this invention could save everyone from a world of pain...(and cussing), not just Dads.

Some might say it's too soon to be thinking about Father's Day gift ideas just a day after celebrating Mother's Day, but it pays to think ahead. 

Pablo Rochat, a decorated creative thinker, has an impressive history in design and innovation. He recently shared an invention that got many people talking. It might not seem like a revolutionary, or perhaps even the most practical, product that will save the world, but it will certainly save people from accidentally stubbing their toes. 

Many of us experienced the excruciating pain of stubbed your toe against a hard surface. It may cause you a world of pain in the moment, but it doesn't warrant a visit to the doctor - we hope. 

However, a new invention recently spotted on Pablo Rochat's may be the solution we didn't know we needed.

According to Pablo, these steel-toed socks would end 'ouchies' and spare our toes from future pain and suffering. Check out the video below from Instagram

People agreed that the most vulnerable toe is the baby toe, and many agreed this invention is necessary. However, one person made a valid point and asked the question: "what happens if you step on a Lego?"

This might be a good gift idea for Dad, but it should come with a warning label if you have kids who leave their things lying everywhere.
