I agree with @Mama Bird that it provides safety in the dark. They also have the option to be turned off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845280 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 18:00:24 +0000 Mama Bird 2845280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: but you could also argue that, on the other hand, they make kids safer! Like if they're crossing the street at night and the lighting isn't great... or if you're walking around after dark and they run off, it's easier to see them with the shoes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845201 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 12:09:39 +0000 wrkbrk 2845201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: OMG! This would never have occurred to me. This is just very very sad, the world we live in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845198 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 12:07:45 +0000 LBee 2845198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: First few paragraphs address - </p> <p><a href="https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/23/after-parkland-shooting-brevard-school-district-bombarded-copycat-threats-absences-and-parent-demand/351228002/" rel="nofollow">https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/23/after-parkland-shooting-brevard-school-district-bombarded-copycat-threats-absences-and-parent-demand/351228002/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845195 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 11:58:43 +0000 catgirl 2845195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: yes! I saw her post that and was done. I never really liked them anyway so it was just a final push to avoid. </p> <p>Also my DD's new preschool doesn't allow them - they said they are too distracting to kids. So make sure they are allowed at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845194 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 11:58:10 +0000 wrkbrk 2845194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Wait what is the school shooting connection?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845193 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 11:56:33 +0000 LBee 2845193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I think Adira wrote something about her son's school not allowing light up shoes because of school shootings and it ruined them for me :sad:</p> <p>I had Sketcher light up shoes as a kid. In terms of light-up shoes I think they aren't that bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845187 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 11:43:10 +0000 wrkbrk 2845187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: I read something recently about a toddler burning his feet from wearing light up shoes - they shorted out when he jumped in a puddle or something. Since then I am scared.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845165 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 10:11:21 +0000 Raspberry 2845165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Yes!

I was actually really disappointed the last time we went to the sketchers store because 50% of their boys inventory was light up shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845124 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 08:35:47 +0000 krispi 2845124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the girl version of the Carter's sneakers. I got them on sale from Amazon last year. I was really just looking for cheap sneakers. My daughter likes that they happen to light up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845089 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 04:29:00 +0000 erinbaderin 2845089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>“Like” is such a touch word with light up shoes - why are they all so ugly?!?! - but the Sketchers brand is not bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845070 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 20:34:08 +0000 LAZB 2845070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 2 year old is OBSESSED with his, he now doesn’t want to wear anything else. I am actually ordering more tonight in the next size up because I found them on zulily. They are Carter’s brand, nothing dance, but seem like good shoes. </p> [attach=4900/18/pez0cx.277x600.637F95DB-08C0-47F4-8C27-D29BB907B6EF.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/light-up-shoes#post-2845068 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 20:26:15 +0000 Raspberry 2845068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, DS has discovered light-up shoes. I’ve been avoiding them because I’m pretty picky with his footwear.</p> <p>Are there any you like that have lightweight/flexible soles so they are good for growing little feet? </p>
