I must say the pictures don't do this sneaker any justice! They are too cute! From the age of a year, my daughter pointed out Sketchers Twinkle Toe sneakers in a local Footlocker store. And 2 years later it still remains her number one pick. What I thoroughly love about these particular pair is the glitter and its ability to match with virtually any outfit. Seldom do black sneakers ever pop out or shine, but these do! My daughter is very happy with these sneakers and so am I. I can vouch these lights never fade or burn out. They illuminate so brightly throughout the night. Perfect for young children! My daughter can't hide from me anymore. Lol  I think we both are now sworn fans of Sketchers sneakers!
