These shoes have lasted about 6 months. The lights stopped working on one shoe 2 or 3 months ago and the lights on the other shoe are almost out.  The colored rubber on the soles have begun peeling off, and the soles themselves cracked across the bottom of the shoe. I have had to super glue the sides of the soles back on more than once. They are rugged looking, but not worth the fifty dollars paid for them. I will most likely not purchase another light-up shoe from Skechers, since they are almost always a disappointment...
