HELP! I am (apparently) a grown adult 42 woman, but I can’t turn my shoes off.

[HoneyDragon]

I have purchased some very charming, exceedingly comfortable trainers from Next in the sale.

On hindsight these may have been from the children’s section. The clue is in the soles which flash brighter than the sun. Which is rather fun. But didn’t become apparent until the tags were off and they were upon my feet.

There is NO SWITCH! Nothing. Zero. Nada.

Do they not come with one? What if I need to speak to the Bank Manager, or other actual adults. Someone please tell me the off switch if hidden in a hitherto undiscovered location.

I’m not giving these bad boys up. They’re super comfy and cool. All solutions welcome*

*apart from grow up and return them.

Empress lovely to see you too

It was the baby who got immacced. I still shudder to this day, not about the bald but, but having to take her hat off and explain bit.

My mistake. Ohhh...it was something else with the dog, wasn't it, I've mercifully forgotten the details.

Just found this thread, I’m crying! OP, 🏆 to you for best thread ever and lighting up my evening...😂😂😂😂

Anyway... the best place for light up shoes discovered by DD, is to go on one of those cavern tours where they turn off the lights at the bottom so you can experience pitch darkness.

Maybe call the store and ask someone in the shoe dept. In the meantime DISCO fun

Hotfix diamonte stick-ons all over the lights 😜

love it op wear them with pride

🤣🤣🤣🤣omg yes please

@IhateBoswell From your love of christmas things and referencing Lionel Blair you sound like someone I know….

Do you have a tree in every room at christmas

Wear them everywhere, and wear them with pride 😁😁😁

Errol no, you’re right the dog with the unicorn horn was Hully. I put a Koteka (penis sheath) on her head to make her look mystical. Bloody Justine decided that the weekly Round Up should have photos in henceforth and the bloody dog ended up in everyone’s inbox. Iirc Olivia added sparkles

Unfortunately not PunishmentSnart 😂

Well actually I do have one in my kitchen and the living room (only at Christmas, obviously...) have I been busted? 😳😂

@ErrolTheDragon

My mistake. Ohhh...it was something else with the dog, wasn't it, I've mercifully forgotten the details.

Was it the dog who got painted blue?

I may have to put light up trainers on my Xmas list. Come on though Honey, if you could break Mumsnet you can conquer a pair of trainers….

@HoneyDragon may I ask are those meant to be for grownups?

I'm sorry you can't turn your shoes off OP but you've really given me a giggle. Brilliant thread.

This. Is. Hilarious.

After a hard week you have really made me smile. thank you Op

Child and dog ended up blue. Two separate events

I’m embracing the show flash. Next said they’d get back to me but it seems a few people have them and there is no switch. I couldn’t wear them to work today, I’d forgotten it was wear yellow day so I wore yellow shoes.

@IhateBoswell ahhh no - but if you lived in Liverpool I know someone who would be your best mate

When I saw the thread title, I had visions of you plugged into the mains, @HoneyDragon. Embrace your illuminated footwear and dance like no one’s watching - except they will be watching rather enviously - you’ll look like you have fireflies on your feet!

I want a pair, let's all get em and dance down the street. After the last almost two years who cares let's party. Social distancing still applies

I’m in all seriousness quite jealous! I spotted a child wearing next flashing trainers and not kidding, the reason I know they were next is because I had to ask where they came from in the hope that I can get some

Flashing wellies now your talking

I have light up shoes for when I go raving

🤣🤣🤣🤣
