I was sent a pair of LED shoes by a chap called Billy to take a look at. One was working and one wasn't. So here's a complete shred of a shoe that shows how they are put together and how it may be possible to fix simple faults.
I think this may be the first time I've seen a lithium cell potted in resin and also mounted where a user is standing on it!
In hindsight the current limiting resistor for the charging function is probably mounted on the remote two wire charge/control PCB because otherwise the button would short out the charger completely.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

Thanks for sharing. I found where I am. I just looked at for, but these are challengeable shoes, right? What do they make chargeable shoes from sketchers?

I noticed they put hhe battery in the area that gets tve least pressure. Still not a good idea having had a battery vent luckily one with some kins if protection so it just pumped out acrid brown smoke not like a firework.
I really should watch tbe wholw video before commenting got to the potted part.
Can these be worn aboard an airplane?
You wear a size 15 shoe?!! That’s insane! I thought my 13 was big! Lol
I bet who ever bought those initially listens to LOTS of EDM.
Clive, I'd love your input on this, I had an intermittent backlight issue on an "edge lit" smart TV, when looking at the leds, some of them (9 out of about 120) weren't testing as a diode, although they still lit up when I tested them with my power supply, I've seen leds fail before where they don't emmit light but still act as a diode, and so the rest of the backlight array stays lit, but I've never seen leds fail in a way where they don't act as a diode but still emmit light, is this possible? Or am I doing something wrong somehow? This particular TV also had a blown 2.2ohm smd resistor on the power supply board near the led driver ic and the ic itself had a tiny hole in it.
Working in the City of London, our office security called me as they had X-rayed a delivery for our company, which looked suspicious. It was a pair of shoes with batteries and wires……this was shortly after the ‘shoe bomber’ incident and the X-ray images looked very similar. After the explosives unit came, they deemed it safe and the embarrassed recipient realised the implications, but her ‘hen do’ outfit was safe…..😀
I remember having a pair of these when I was really young, about 4 or so.
I kind of remember taking it to bits when I'd grown out of it.
Had no idea how it worked at the time but I remember there being a tube with a metal ball bearing that must have acted as a switch to turn them on for a set period of time.
They must have had really long life batteries, I don't recall them running out of power. I doubt they had some charging system built in like the jerk off flashlights.
Earned myself 8 stitches in my leg just two weeks ago from a blade like that Clive! Never towards yourself! Shit happens, and quickly 🙂
