Ask my toddler, and if he could form sentences, he'd tell you these shoes are better than Cheerios (and that's saying something). He absolutely loves wearing them and screams when you try to take them off. He doesn't seem to notice they light up unless he happens to walk by a mirror.

The only issue I have is that one of the shoes doesn't light up unless he stomps hard when on carpet or is walking on a hard surface - like concrete or tile. The other shoe lights up just fine on carpet.
