Designed by Sun-Woong Oh and Jin-hee Kim, the Safety of Life Fireman Boots' design "is a clever attempt to ensure that fighters can keep a tab on their partners and locate them instantly, in case of disorientation," according to Radhika Seth. Firemen save lives everyday, it’s time we tried to save theirs.
