My sister and I both purchased a pair of light up shoes for our children for Christmas 2017. The only difference is my sister purchased her children's shoes from Skechers and I purchased my child shoes here. As of now both my niece and my nephew shoes have stopped charging and lighting up, wow my son's shoes are still working at its best. He just loves them! Every time he wears them he gets many compliments on them and he says that they fit him great. They are durable to the point where they will not fall apart after only a couple of wears and they had not faded in color. I would definitely buy them again.
