    Oh, do you remember those trainers (sneakers) that had lights in the heels? Can’t recall the name but my brother (then about five years old) adored them and wanted a pair. Now, I suppose a five-year old would like the dinosaur track trainers from the Science Museum. As you walk, you leave the imprint of a dinosaur claw. How cool is that?




  2. Ann Says:

    They still have ones with lights in the heels for kids, and plenty of sneakers that have prints on the bottom. At least half of the cheap sneakers for the under fives have lights in the bottom.




  3. BarkingDogShoes Says:

    Yes, I think the post was sort of tongue-in-cheek–”What will they think of next?” Very funny.

    Gives a whole new meaning to the word “twinkletoes”.




  5. Bridey Says:

    Hey, that’s actually pretty cool for what I’d guess is the ’30s!

    My youngest has sneakers that light up when he runs. They’re all the rage in lower elementary grades, but for boys, mostly. My daughter in 3rd grade wouldn’t be caught dead in them.

    You have to admire the ingenuity that went into making the shoes show in the advert. Batteries and bulbs are much smaller and tougher these days. Those tap dancers had tiny glass bulbs on their toes! I bet the show was awesome.

    I got about 25 feet of a product called electroluminescent wire and some drivers and made up a couple of hats. nobody loved them but me but for those of you in the market for tacky neon glow projects you can go to Coolight.com here

    http://www.coolight.com/Default.asp

    or others to create tacky/cool neon bar type projects. If you want to see my hats, I made some small video files I can send you if you want. basically though, you need the wire, some heat shrink, a soldering iron and solder, an Idea, and a way to fix the wire to the project. I used a low temp hot glue gun and a couple of party hats from party galaxy.




  8. Fausta Says:

    I believe the Rockettes used similar shoes in one of their numbers back in the 1980s.

    Home
    Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?

With representatives in major cities around the globe we can arrange to show you the fabric samples and take your measurements, or you can also place your orders online with the help of our measuring guide. There are over 2000 fabrics to choose from along with all the latest styles.

    All our suits and shirts are produced by highly skilled Shanghainese tailors in Hong Kong and delivered in about 4 weeks, express delivery can be made in 2 weeks at a minor extra cost.
