Wearing Light-Up Shoes
Even though light-up sneakers are fun for kids of all ages, they are not always the most appropriate option. Some schools have dress codes that prohibit kids from wearing them since they may distract other students from learning. It is always best to check with your specific school's dress code before sending your child to school with a new pair of light-up shoes. Of course, there are also schools that allow these shoes and do not have any rules prohibiting students from wearing them to class.
Whether for school or play, lighted shoes make a fun option for kids. With a range of brands and different price points to choose from, it's easy to find a pair that fits both a child's fashion sense and a parent's budget.
