Cheap light-up sneakers look fun and die fast

The lights enchant your kid and haunt you. The $18 no-name pair I grabbed lasted eight weeks before the sole started separating. Just buy the New Balance 574 or the Nike Revolution 7 and let September-to-June happen without drama. Rosie has already informed me she wants “the chunky ones everybody has” next year, so I’ll be doing this again in twelve months.
