LED shoes have become very popular. They are not only stylish and chic but also end up catching the eye of everyone you come across. If you love attention and like standing out from the crowd, then the light up shoes are what you should be thinking about. Unlike kids light up shoes that only come on with every step, the LED shoes remain lit. More and more brands are coming up with the light up shoe collection and this means you need to pay attention to a few things before buying.
Shoe weight and comfort
The added lighting feature should not in any way interfere with the way the shoe feels when you are wearing it. A good shoe is one that you can wear comfortably like your regular shoe and it should not have any additional weight that drag you down. Make sure the lighting technology used in the shoe does little in terms of affecting comfort and weight.
Color modes
If you are adventurous, then you will be looking for a shoe that can light up in different colors. Most of the LED shoes come with different color modes that you only need to switch using a carefully hidden switch to match your preferences. Consider the number of color modes you can enjoy and how that works for what you wish to achieve when wearing the shoes. Using your favorite colors you can match up the light with your outfit.
Lighting modes
When buying the shoes, consider the lighting modes provided so that you can select a pair that will deliver the kind of results that you are hoping for. Most of the shoes will have different lighting modes to choose from. Depending on what you select, you may be able to enjoy steady lights or glowing lights or even dancing lights.
Ease of use
How easy is it for you to control the lighting system, is the question you should ask here. Remember that the light up shoes need to be charged same way you charge your phone. Most come with USB cables to make this possible. Apart from easy charging options, ensure also that it will be just as easy to control color modes and type of lighting. You should be able to switch off the light system too when you do not want to have them on. Find out everything there is to your pair of shoes before you go ahead with your purchase.
Battery
These shoes rely on batteries to light up. Long lasting batteries will serve you longer. It also helps to find out how long you will need to charge the batteries and how long that charge will last. Some very good shoes can last up to 8 hours. Choose a shoe that has batteries bound to serve your light up needs for as long as you find appropriate. It is also important to ensure that your shoe has been tested for safety and is waterproof.
