The lifespan of the lights can vary depending on usage but is generally expected to last for the typical wear duration of the shoes. They are not designed for user-replaceable batteries.
Are these shoes suitable for running sports?
While comfortable for general play and running, these trainers are not specifically designed for competitive or high-impact sports that require specialized athletic footwear.

Troubleshooting
Lights are not working
Ensure the child has walked around enough to activate the motion sensors. Check for any visible damage to the light-up components. If the issue persists, the light battery may be depleted or the unit may have failed.
Strap is not staying fastened
Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free of debris. Press the strap down firmly to secure it. If the hook-and-loop material is worn, it may need replacement.
Shoes appear dirty after cleaning
Use a gentle cleaning solution and a soft brush for tougher spots. Always wipe down with a clean, damp cloth afterwards and allow to air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Child finds the fit uncomfortable
Ensure the correct UK size is being used. Adjust the instep strap for a secure but not overly tight fit. The fixed stretch laces provide a snug feel; consider if the shoe width is appropriate for the child's foot.
