I got these shoes for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loved them. He thought they were the coolest shoes ever and so do his friends. The lights change from red, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, and flashing lights. He can make each shoe a different color or match them to be the same color. He wears them about 3-4 times per week and I only have to charge them once a week, which is great. Plugging them in for one night is all we really need for the entire week.I was very happy to find them in this blue metallic color that is vivid and metallic-- very attractive color to a 5 year-old. I was nervous that the metallic finish would be hard to keep clean, but that has not been an issue at all. I have to clean the white light area more often, but nothing out of the ordinary compared to other shoes with white soles.The reasons I am giving this product 4 stars and not 5 is because one of the lights on the left shoe went rogue and is stagnantly purple. It is the only one that doesn't change when he tries to change the color. This happened about a month after I got them. Also, his shoe laces are always coming untied with these shoes so that is very annoying. I would like to have a thinner lace.
