So I bought these in gold a few months ago and they arrived 6 weeks later in perfect condition. Let me tell you there is no place I can wear them without getting compliments on how cool they are. I'm a high school teacher and my students freaked out when they saw them light up. The lights work great and have many different settings including solid, flashing blue and color changing. The shoes even have a place to charge them. I haven't used this feature yet, but it might come in handy one day. I've also worn them in the rain. I was very skeptical about buying these shoes. Lately I've been hearing a lot of horror stories about people ordering cheap goods from China. There is nothing to fear here. This is by far the best $30 I've ever spent, which sounds ridiculous, but as a teacher, I would do anything to earn my students' trust. Plus, they're comfortable enough to wear all day at work. I love these shoes! 100% recommended! Would definitely buy again! PS, I'm definitely not a bot.
