I bought these shoes to have for Halloween. I loaded them up and wore them to give out candy on Halloween. You were wonderful! I liked the colors and the brightness. I never left my entrance (I'm 56 years old). I just wanted fancy light up shoes to give out Halloween candy. Just sat in the chair - not in the mood for dancing, jumping, streets/clubs etc. I just wear them while sitting out on the porch in the weather to hand out Halloween candy! So I put them away and never thought about them again for 3 weeks. I decided I wanted to wear them for Thanksgiving when the whole family came and all. Thought my grandchildren would enjoy it. I tried to turn them on and they died. Nothing at all. So I figured the battery was just dead and the shoes needed charging. Plugged in overnight to charge and tried again the next morning. Nothing yet. You are completely dead! You are now completely useless. I was hoping that if I take care of them they would last a long time. I WAS WRONG! While these shoes are good, they are DISPOSABLE ONLY. IF you have lots of money $$$$ Then buy it; You will not be disappointed. Note, however, that after the first use, they will never work again. I will NEVER buy them again. My advice: DO NOT BUY. I'm still in shock I spent all that money and they only lasted 4.5 hours. HORRIBLE! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I will NEVER buy them again.
