Here at Enlighted, we've added lights to many kinds of footwear, including dancing shoes, boots, athletic shoes, and even ice skates. In most cases, the lights are installed in flexible fabric or leather covers, or trims that are mounted on the outside of the shoes.

lighted casual shoes
Enlighted client Burghman has also had lights added to a few pairs of athletic shoes.
In this example, super-bright white and gold LEDs have been mounted in a layer of black suede that covers the top of the shoe. Also, note that each shoe is powered by a 9V battery, held in an elastic pouch on the back.

how to order
To ensure a proper fit, we recommend that you select the plain shoes yourself and send them to us. Lights can be then be added to the outer surface, although there are several practical limits to take into consideration when planning the design and the location of batteries and switches. Shoes take a lot of abuse!
We typically do not recommend putting the custom hand-made electronics that we offer inside the sole of a shoe, since the installation process would compromise the durability of both the shoe and the lighting elements. That type of lighting must be installed at the factory level.
Please see our custom orders page for more information.
