Luminous sneakers

Sneakers have long become an integral part of both men's and women's wardrobe. These are shoes that will always be in fashion, especially since designers are constantly releasing new, more advanced models. The latest fashion trend is LED sneakers.

How did backlit sneakers come in?

Recently, there has been a significant breakthrough in led technology (based on the use of LED radiation), which have found application in various fields of life. Of course, the fashion industry did not stand aside. Shoe designer Yifan Wan (brand Simulation), inspired by the “Step Up 3D” film, released the original backlit sneakers. This thing, of course, instantly gained recognition among young people.

What are they called and what do they look like?

These unusual sneakers (they are also called LED or running shoes with lights) will not allow its owner to go unnoticed wherever he is: for a walk or in a nightclub, in the gym or at a dance party. Such models look especially impressive in the dark, and the combination of seven luminous colors makes them universal in terms of compatibility with other things. The LED model is able to act as a bright dominant of many outfits, combined not only with sportswear.

Luminous sneakers are indispensable if you like to do sports jogging in the eveningsso that you are visible to car drivers. But this does not mean that during the day they look like ordinary shoes. Even after a short exposure to the sun, they will glow when you enter the room, just not as bright as in the evening.

As for children's models, they are advantageous in that the kid will not be capricious during the gatherings on the street: bright elements will certainly interest him.

Principle of operation and characteristic

Briefly consider how the backlight mechanism works. At the sole of the sneaker is a small battery with LEDs, and the contacts and bulbs are protected from moisture and possible shock. Interestingly, thanks to modern technology, this whole structure is completely not felt by the foot.

Over time, the brightness decreases (The backlight is designed for an average of 6 hours), this can be fixed by recharging the battery using the USB cable that comes with the shoes. It takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery.

The backlight mode can be changedchoosing one of seven colors with a small button inside the shoe. Alternatively, you can leave the automatic mode (colors successively replace each other)

By the way, if you are tired of the backlight, you can always turn it off and your sneakers will look like the most ordinary model.

It should be noted that LED sneakers do not need any special care and do not deteriorate if worn in rainy weather, since the luminescent coating is not afraid of moisture. These shoes are absolutely safe for health, including for children.

Fashion models

Luminous sneakers are presented by adult, teenage and children's models.

Options for babies often have additional musical accompaniment - in addition to glow, they make funny sounds when walking. Parents always know where their baby is.

Models designed specifically for boys and girls. Options for the smallest must certainly be equipped with an orthopedic insole.

It should be noted that LED sneakers due to the presence in the sole of luminous elements (and sometimes also sounding ones) do not have the necessary rigidity. For this reason experts do not recommend wearing these shoes for a long time.

To buy a child sneakers with backlight should be special shoe stores, but not on the market, so as not to harm children's health.

An interesting and useful children's version of sneakers is LED models on wheels. Such shoes remarkably develop coordination of movements, in addition, many muscle groups are involved in riding. An important advantage of roller sneakers is that the child can not remove them when he enters the room. If desired, the wheels can be hidden in a recess on the sole, turning them into the most ordinary shoes. And the most pleasant thing that makes sneakers with wheels popular is a very quick adaptation: every child can ride them after a 10-minute workout.

As for adult options, the most popular sports products with backlit soles. However, there are other luminous elements: laces, emblems, various inserts. There are more expensive sneakers that glow in the dark entirely.

As for the luminous laces, they are made of special light-conducting material, similar to flexible plastic, which stretches a little, but does not deform. Such laces are easy to bend and tie in a knot. They shine due to LEDs that form directional rays. For a uniform glow, proper lacing is required (without kinks and excessive tightening).

Fashionable youth sneakers with backlighting often differ in their original design: models with wings or on a platform (which also glows).

Color and print

The color scheme of the backlight may be different - everyone will be able to choose a version of light green or yellow, pink or blue and many other colors. Noble silver and gold models are also available. This effect looks most advantageous on white light sneakers. There are models where the sole glows in many shades (more than ten).

Children's shoes delight parents and toddlers with a huge assortment of colors.

Dimensions

Of particular importance is the correctly selected size of fashionable sneakers. As you know, each manufacturing company has its own dimensional grid.And the problem is that often the sizes of different firms do not match. For this reason, there are special conformity tables for shoe sizes, where you can, for example, convert the European size to American. To do this, you need to know how many centimeters your foot is.

Sneakers of the wrong size can cause health problems., especially for athletes. Among the unpleasant consequences are bulging bones, ugly cones, ingrown nails, corns on the foot. In addition, an imbalance in muscle load may occur, which already entails joint problems.

According to experts, when you pick up sneakers, you need to consider that in the process of running the foot is a little “heard” to the sides, so it’s better to buy a more spacious model.
