Dear Nike,Reebok,Sketchers,etc

If you would make a shoe that has flashing lights for adults, I would buy them! They are so awesome and only kids get to have shoes with them. That is unfair for us adults. My toddler has a pair and I grow envious!

Thank you for your time
Sincerely,

ps. the shoes must be tennis shoes, I don't like high heels. [Smile]

Flashing soles would make it terribly difficult to sneak up on anyone in the dark.

I'm afraid I would not be able to buy them.

They do, ElJay; just not terribly big ones. [Frown]

I thought they did make them in adult sizes. I once worked at a theatre and one of my coworker had them and would slide down the aisles. Of course that was four years ago...

Ooooh. I've never seen them, but I wasn't looking too terribly hard...

This might be of some interest to you Eljay. I don't know what size you are though.

probably not size 8... but thats the best I found so far.

Even better Size 10! [Smile]

The folks at LA Gear were supposed to relaunch business in Spring2005 with a line of L.E.D. running shoes for adults.
But since their promised "New Website Coming May 1st, 2005" still isn't up and running, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Otherwise the only adult-sized lighted shoes available seem to be mile-high stiletto platforms.

There are stiletto platforms with lights? Oh my; can't do that. High heels - of almost any kind or height - make me fall down! [Big Grin] ).

I'm thinking high top chucks - bright orange - with purple lights! Those would work much better for me.

Purple lights would be sweet.

I hope LA gear makes L.E.D. shoes... that would be cool!

Did anyone else wander into this threat thinking it would be about elves?

No?

Just me then... I need sleep.
