I received these shoes quicker than stated. They came in excellent new condition and the lights worked perfectly. I've had them for a few months now and they are still as beautiful as day one. I bought these for my daughter as a reward for learning how to tie her shoes (although it is not necessary to lace these shoes). Only complaint is the stretchy material that allows you to use it without laces. Its way too tight. we had a very. VERY hard time trying to put my daughters feet in. After i was sure i was going to keep them, i cut the elastic band so that she can put the shoes on herself. BC they are so pretty, i still give them 4 stars.
