text: The cheapest, worst quality shoe I've ever bought for my children, and being as these were purchased for my youngest of 4 boys, and I've bought dozens of shoes for them in the last 14 years, that's saying something.  I bought these for my 6 year old's birthday because he loves the light up shoes.  He was given them on June 12, 2015.  Today is July 27, 2015 and they've been shredded for a couple of weeks already.  He pulled the velcro up one day about 3 weeks after getting them, and it separated from the shoe, shredded the whole top over the ankle and exposed all of the wiring that makes the shoes light up.  I've never seen anything like it, but obviously, I deem them a safety risk due to all the wires exposed and they're now trash.  I would have been better off with Walmart shoes.  Of course, because I don't purchase my gifts last minute, there's nothing anyone will do for a refund or exchange.
