How to repair glowing sneakers? Why did they stop glowing?

What to do to make them start burning again? Where has the light gone?

If the glowing sneakers do not light up and do not work even after charging, then most likely you have a broken LED strip that underlies them. Usually, when the LED strip breaks, only one part of the shoe is lit, or it completely stops lit.

If the problem is real with the LED strip, alas, you cannot replace it. It is located inside the sole. And by hand, you are unlikely to be able to tear off the sole and glue it back.

Sometimes it happens that the color of some parts of the shoe changes. So the problem again lies in the LED strip - it is damaged.

The only thing that can be influenced if the glowing sneaker breaks is the mechanism with a microcircuit under the sole. It can be replaced.

1. If you bought a product in our store, then within 30 days we will refund your money without any problems or exchange it for a product of proper quality.
2. If you ordered sneakers from China, and it is not possible to return the defective product, then read our recommendations below.

Problems with such shoes boil down to the following reasons:

• The wiring connector has come off
• Defective backlight control unit - unit replacement.
• Inoperative battery - replace the battery. It is necessary to re-solder the battery connection to the wiring.
• Broken contacts in the wiring or the LED strip itself. The most unpleasant breakdown.Due to the peculiarities of the production, the led strip cannot be repaired, so it is easier to replace the sneakers with new ones.

It is possible that the battery contact has come off during transportation or after an active dance / run on rough terrain.

Remove the inner insole, reach the battery compartment and unplug it. Just in case, blow out the contacts and reconnect the wires to the battery.

Then charge the battery for 4 full hours. If the problem disappears for me, contact, then it is necessary to change the backlight control unit or

If your led shoes won't turn on then try the following:
Disconnect and reconnect the LED control unit to the battery.
Plug in the USB charger and charge them for 4 hours. When charging, quality models of luminous sneakers should flash red. Then press the power button for 30 seconds. This trick should help, otherwise buy new crosses.

It's not a problem! This is often encountered when using luminous sneakers immediately after purchase. First you need to charge your shoes for a full 4 hours.
If you want your sneakers to glow longer, then switch to green, red or blue glow mode. These colors consume the least amount of electricity. White light - more than the rest consumes the battery, since 3 LEDs are used simultaneously to create a white glow.

LED Sneakers!
At the origins of the creation of luminous sneakers is the designer from Britain - Yifan Wan. The scene from the movie “Step Forward 3D” pushed him to this idea, where at one of the moments the main character's shoes “lit up”. A sneaker with LED lighting was developed especially for this film. Yifan Wan took this idea and launched his illuminated sneakers under the Simulation brand.

LED SHOES - TREND OF THE SEASON
LED running shoes are an easy and cheap way to stand out from the crowd in any atmosphere. In the dark, this is your "ace in the sleeve" to attract the attention of the opposite sex and smile of passers-by. They are comfortable for dancing, playing sports and driving a car. And most importantly, they can withstand any weather and are suitable for seasonal use.

How it works?
It's that simple! In the sole of the sneaker, along the perimeter, there is an LED strip that is powered by a miniature rechargeable battery. It is enough for 8-10 hours of continuous use, and charging will take 2-3 hours. Backlighting is carried out in 1 color of light from the possible ones to choose from, there is also an automatic mode for sequential switching of colors. All control is carried out using a button sewn into the side-inner part of the shoe. Thanks to the special design, you do not feel the wires and do not feel any discomfort.

And you can repeat it the same way

Sneakers with luminous sole

Another LED novelty will become popular and in demand among young people and adolescents - sticky LED strips on shoes will make any young man the star of the party!
With every step or movement, a wave of bright light will spread around you and your feet, using a special accelerometer, the strength of the stride is measured - the stronger the step, the more intense light spreads from the LED shoe strips

Using regular glue, LED strips are attached along the side edge of the sole of any shoe - you are ready to become the star of the nightly disco.
The LED novelty is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery, the strip can be attached to shoes of any size and easily removed when it is no longer needed. You can attach the LED strips to one pair of shoes today, and tomorrow you can easily transfer the original novelty to another pair of shoes!

Trendy, homemade LED shoes!

The first step to creating this trendy garment is to get the right women's shoes. There are several factors to consider when choosing shoes:
The platform of the shoes must be transparent. The platform must be hollow and have sufficient empty space to accommodate the electronic components. Finally, it should be just fashionable! For this project, a pair of women's shoes was purchased from the Amazon online store. To see which shoes are suitable and how much they cost, follow the link:

This shoe comes with pre-existing holes in the platform, but it is too small and will have to be enlarged a little later. But first, you need to prepare an additional part for installing the components. In order to prevent electronic components from rattling and dangling when moving, special holders were made for them, printed on a 3D printer.

Unfortunately, holes in a 3D printed part don't come out perfectly straight. Therefore, they need to be slightly corrected with a suitable drill.

For further mounting of the LED strips, it was necessary to unsolder the standard connectors on the driver board, since they interfered with its installation into the printed holder.

Then a switch and a standard DC Jack are installed in the plastic holder.

Then the rechargeable battery and a piece of LED strip are connected. The battery can be much smaller than shown here, as only a few LEDs need to be powered. But since this battery is left over from the previous project, it is he who is used. It is desirable that the shoes light work for at least 4 hours at full brightness, this will allow the girl to have a great time at almost any party, and at the same time be irresistible and in the spotlight. The battery itself is inserted into the slot of the plastic holder.

After assembling the entire circuit, it is tested before installing it into the shoes.

The shoe, which was ordered from an Amazon store, had a 40mm diameter hole, which is significantly smaller than previously thought. Therefore, it has been increased to the required size.

Once the hole in the platform has been expanded to match the diameter of the plastic holder, it's time to install the electronic components. Since the driver board cannot fit into the middle of the plastic holder, a different fixation method was invented. On the back of the driver board and on the battery, neodymium magnets are glued with hot glue, which will pull them together through the plastic case of the holder. This will fix the driver board and eliminate various rattles while walking.

Then, first of all, segments of LED strips are installed in the shoes, and after them a plastic holder with an LED driver and a rechargeable battery is inserted.This process turned out to be not so easy, and it took quite a long time to get everything done very carefully.

After everything is installed, the LED backlight is turned on by a microswitch on top of the holder. Charging is done via the DC Jack. Try not to ruin your shoes during installation, as they are quite expensive.
Since this project used LED drivers with control via Bluetooth, they can be controlled from a smartphone, either separately or in synchronized mode. They can be synchronized with music, showing various patterns and lighting effects. They can also work without external control, simply by remaining in the last selected mode.

Dance boots with animated LED laces

Luminous animated lacing for your boots will make your dance unique. In each heel of the boot there is a sensor that responds to a slight pressure of the heel, which changes the animation of the laces after each step or dance movement. Light-guiding transparent tubes are glued to the LEDs, which are decorative cords. The LEDs themselves are controlled by a microcontroller.

Required components:
Lace-up boots - I used a silver colored Gothika 600 UV Demonia boots. This project relies on laces, which have a mainly decorative function, the boots are actually adjustable with buckles and zippers.
Spot LEDs NeoPixels - 1 LED per row of laces (16 in this project) Fiber optic cable Pro Trinket Controller - 2 pcs. JST connector for battery - 2 pcs. Lithium polymer battery - 2 pcs. Touch sensor (FSR) - 2 pcs. Silicone insulated 30 AWG wires. From the tool you will need the following: Soldering iron and accessories 3D printer (optional) Hot glue and a gun Stapler Spray glue Needle and thread Connection diagram:

The Touch Probe (FSR) connects to the Pro Trinket controller at pins A5 and GND (it can connect in either direction).
If you have the opportunity to use a 3D printer, then for the convenience of installing LEDs, we can make such accessories for their installation. They allow you to fix the LEDs and wires well. If this is not possible, then use more or less suitable accessories made of white or transparent plastic to attach the fiber optic cable to the LEDs.

You can download the 3D model files from the link: thingiverse
Connecting the power wires:

After you've placed everything, loaded the code into the controller, and tested it to work, use a spray adhesive to fix the sensor to the heel inside the boot.
Connect the battery and carefully tuck all the wires in a safe place. If necessary, fix them with glue spray.

That's all, you can put on your boots and light up the dance floor!

Glowing sneakers are happy to be worn by children, teenagers and even adults. It is fashionable, beautiful and comfortable. In addition, such shoes make walking on dark evening streets much safer, since the driver sees a pedestrian wearing such shoes. Many shoe manufacturers offer such models to customers.True, they are usually quite expensive. But you can get out of the situation without much damage to your own wallet. How to make glowing sneakers will be discussed in our article.

Before making glowing sneakers at home, consider why you need them:

• for safety;
• for the sake of fashion;
• want to combine fashion and safety.

The way to make glowing sneakers depends entirely on the purpose. Can be used:

• any reflectors;
• luminous shoelace;
• LED lamp.

How to make glowing shoes if you don’t want to bother with a soldering iron, but you need the drivers to see you? In this case, you don't need to do anything. It is enough to buy 2 reflective tapes in an auto parts store. They roll up and hold fairly firmly.

Put it on your ankles, and forward. Fast, cheap and hassle-free!

Important! This option also has disadvantages:

• the tapes are not secured and may be lost;
• only the ring around the ankle glows - very primitive.

But in the same store you can find other reflective elements - stars, flowers, short and long stripes. This already provides an opportunity to show creative initiative. Very often, such elements have an adhesive layer, so the procedure is extremely simple:

1. Separate one element from the sheet.
2. Remove the protective film from it.
3. Glue to your sneakers.

Important! Do the same with other elements. You can stick them in any order, but nothing prevents you from making intricate compositions. This method has a drawback - the adhesive layer is not reliable enough, and in damp weather the glowing stars will peel off rather quickly.

Decorated with reflective details, sneakers can be beautiful and original, but they cannot be called luminous, because they simply reflect the rays that fall on them from streetlights or car headlights. But if you mount, for example, a neon wire, you get something completely different. True, for this you will have to work hard and get some tools and materials in advance.

An electroluminescent wire is a thin wire coated with a phosphor. The phosphor begins to glow if an alternating current is applied to it. The battery provides constant current. Accordingly, a converter is needed, that is, an inverter.

Important! Choosing an inverter is a very important point. It must match the wire, that is, it must have enough power to work with a wire of a certain length. However, it should not be too powerful:

• with a weak inverter, the light becomes dim;
• too strong - could damage the wire or even the sneakers.

Before you make your own glowing sneakers, make sure you have the right materials at hand:

• fishing line;
• textile Velcro;
• additional wires;
• charger if you are using a LiPo battery;
• heat shrink tubes;
• connectors;
• solder;
• wide elastic band.

You will also need some tools:

Before connecting the wire to the sneakers, it must be prepared, that is, the inverter must be soldered to it.

Important! Soldering neon has its own characteristics, they must be taken into account.

After the inverter is in place, the wire will need to be connected to the sneakers:

1. Make a hole in the right place with an awl.
2. Expand it with a screwdriver.
3. Insert the wire there - the procedure will go very easily.
4. Place the line through the wide-eye needle.
5. Sew on the wire with several stitches - it is not necessary to do this along the entire length, you can fasten several fragments, the wire itself is quite tough and will not sag.
6. Disassemble the inverter.
7. Solder the battery wires to its PCB - the battery uses a lithium polymer.
8. Cut a hole for the wire in the inverter case.
9. Place the cover on the inverter.
10. Secure the inverter with Velcro.
11. Secure the wires and battery with an elastic band.

Important! If you are thinking about how to make glowing sneakers, then this is the only way, since others need a thick sole.

The neon wire, of course, is good, but LED backlighting will look much more impressive. They not only burn, but flicker when walking. To make these trendy shoes, you will need:

• LED Strip Light;
• the wire;
• disk accumulator;
• microcontact.

• A notch is needed for the microcontact. It is located under the insole, in the heel. Many models of modern footwear already have a cavity in this place. The top of the microcontact is closed with an insole.
• A flat wire is suitable, you can take it from old headphones.
• It is better to estimate the length of the tape in advance - this will allow you to understand how many disk batteries you need to take.

All the elements are already at your fingertips, now you need to assemble your creative model:

1. Remove the insole.
2. If there is a notch in the heel, you can use it, and if not, make it with a sharp knife.
3. Solder or connect the wires with tin contacts, connecting the batteries to the switch using a metal plate, observing the polarity.
4. Fix the entire structure in the recess (it is better to use hot melt glue) so that the contacts of the switch are closed when pressed with the heel.

Important! On the insole in the heel area, fix the insert, which is a thin plate of hard plastic, or insert a thin metal instep support into the insole along the entire width and length of the heel. This is necessary so that the heel does not fall into the notch.

Lead the wires to the holes in the laces, preferably under the lining, if any.

• Use a stiff, thin steel wire to puncture the inner lining of the shoe, then push the wire under the lining to the notch in the heel.
• When the wire appears outward, twist the end of the contact wire to its end.
• After that, the wire is pulled back, it carries the contact wire with it.

Important! The contacts are brought out in the area of ​​the eyelets or tongue. With this design, the boot will not chafe the foot.

• Insert the insole back.
• Attach the LED strip to the outside of the shoe.
• Solder the contact wires to the LED strip.
• Protect the soldering area with tape or varnish.

Installing a neon wire or LED strip requires some knowledge of electrical engineering, as well as the ability to work with a soldering iron. If you do not have these skills, you can try to get out of the situation in an easier way. For example, make glowing laces.

In this case, you will have to do a little work with a soldering iron. You will need not only two strips of fabric, but also tubes, liquid silicone, and LEDs.

The tubes must fit through the lace holes, so their thickness must be appropriate:

1. First, measure and cut the tubes - they should be the same length as your regular laces.
2. Fill the tubes with liquid silicone using a syringe.
3. Connect small batteries to the lamps.
4. Insert the lamps into the tubes.

Important! If you decide to use silicone tubing, the laces will be quite difficult to use - they will become jewelry rather than objects of very definite practical value.

You can also paint the laces with a special glowing paint containing phosphorus. It can be bought at a stationery store, and it is sold where they sell LED devices.

Important! Instructions are attached to the paint, which must be read carefully.

• The pigment is usually diluted with water. The thicker the solution, the richer the color will be.
• You don't need to add water at all. In this case, the laces are painted with a soft brush, for example, watercolor.
• After work, the strips of fabric should be spread on the table or windowsill, placing something that absorbs water well, and dried in the sun.

Important! Keep in mind that items painted with phosphoric paints must be exposed to the sun from time to time - then they will last longer.

You can make glowing laces at home using luminol.You will also need:

• washing powder;
• hydrogen peroxide;
• potassium permanganate.

Important! The laces will glow due to luminol - a special composition invented in Germany at the beginning of the last century. It is not so easy to get it, but it should be borne in mind that luminol is the technical name for the pharmacy luminal, a sleeping pill that is sometimes sold.

How to make glowing sneakers this way:

1. Mix 1 tablespoon of washing powder, 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide and 250 g of water.
2. Add 20 ml of luminol solution.
3. Grind potassium permanganate in a mortar.
4. Add it to the solution.
5. Place the laces in the solution and hold for about half an hour.

From electroluminescent wire, you can make not only a luminous frame for the sole or upper, but also laces.

• 2m neon wire:
• 2 inverters;
• nippers.

Before making laces, you need to prepare a neon wire:

1. Spread it out on the table.
2. Measure and find the middle.
3. Cut in half.
4. Attach the inverter to one piece.
5. Do the same with the other pair.
6. Connect the batteries to the inverters in the same way as when making sneakers.
7. The laces are ready and you can even adjust the brightness. All that remains is to attach the inverters and batteries to the outside of the shoe.

Important! There is another way - quite expensive, you can transplant the top from old sneakers onto a new transparent platform with LEDs and batteries already installed in it.
