The shoe night light is a device to provide illumination when the shoe is placed on the foot. The shoe night light has a sensor/switch in the sole of the shoe designed to turn on and off the light when the shoe is placed on and taken off the foot. The shoe night light has batteries or replaceable batteries inside the material of the shoe to provide power to the light.
