Glowing Sneakers

Sneakers have long been 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.

Recently, there has been a significant breakthrough in the field of led technology (based on the use of LED radiation), which have found application in various spheres of life. Of course, the fashion industry did not stand aside either. Shoe designer Yifan Wan (brand Simulation), impressed by the film "Step Up 3D", has released original sneakers with illumination... This thing, of course, instantly gained recognition among the youth.

These unusual sneakers (also called LED or sneakers with lights) will not allow their owner to go unnoticed wherever he is: on 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 versatile 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.

Glowing sneakers are indispensable if you love 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.

Let's take a quick look at how the backlight mechanism works. The sole of the sneaker contains 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 unnoticeable to the foot.

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

The backlight mode can be changedby choosing one of seven colors using the small button inside the shoe. Alternatively, you can leave the automatic mode (colors alternate sequentially)

It should be noted that LED sneakers do not need any special care and will 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.

Toddler options often have additional musical accompaniment - in addition to the glow, they make funny sounds when walking. At the same time, parents always know where their baby is.

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

An interesting and useful children's version of sneakers is LED models on wheels. These shoes are great for developing coordination of movements, in addition, many muscle groups are involved when skating. An important advantage of roller sneakers is that the child does not need to take them off when he enters the room. If desired, the wheels can be hidden in the groove in 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.

When it comes to adult options, the most popular sportswear with illuminated soles. However, there are also other luminous elements: laces, emblems, various inserts. There are also more expensive sneakers that glow in the dark entirely.

As for the luminous laces, they are made of a special light-conducting material, similar to flexible plastic, which stretches a little, but does not deform. These laces are easy to bend and tied in a knot. They light up due to LEDs that form directional beams. Correct lacing is necessary for a uniform glow (no kinks or excessive tightening).

Illuminated trendy youth sneakers are often distinctive in their original design, with wings or with a platform (which also glows).

This effect looks most advantageous on white light sneakers. There are models where the sole glows in many shades (more than ten).

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

Incorrectly sized sneakers can cause health problems.especially for athletes. Among the unpleasant consequences are protruding bones, ugly bumps, ingrown nails, calluses on the foot. In addition, an imbalance in muscle load may occur, which already leads to joint problems.
