“Finally, I suggest it...”

I have always envied kids with blinking. Colored light in their sneakers. Finally I could buy a pair! I was so excited when they arrived. They fit well and lived up to my expectation walking down the street, colored blinking make me very happy. I have got excellent. That's why I suggest it to all.

“HoverKicks *BUYER BEWARE*”

Ordered these for my son last month and had them hiding in my closet until yesterday for his birthday. Opened them up and one of the lights isn't working. Customer service won't let me exchange due to it being past the 30 day return policy. These came defective. I should be able to exchange for a working pair regardless of when I received them. I paid $150 for shoes with lights, I expect all the lights to work! I plan on leaving a negative review wherever I can

I ordered two pairs of hoverkicks and the green LED lights on the front of both pairs stopped working within a couple days. At first I thought it was intended because it happened on both pairs around the same time but really it's just not built to handle very much activity. I didn't bother trying to get them replaced through warranty since they'd been worn.

Gave the LED Hoverkicks Sneakers as a gift for Christmas 2017 and the LED lighting didn't work from the very beginning on the Left Sneaker and the Remote Control didn't work either. Sneakers were never worn.

Customer Service did respond quickly and walked me through the setup and they still didn't work. They issued me an exchange. However, I had to pay $10 shipping fee to return the "not working pair of Hoverkicks" back to them. The company refused to pay for the return shipping even though the merchandise was not received in working order. This policy is poor Customer Service and needs to be re-evaluated.

What's even more disappointing than receiving the first pair of damaged Hoverkicks, was that the second pair was also not working. We are having the same problem with the Left Sneaker's LED lighting as well as the Remote Control.

Directions are poorly copied on a piece of paper and very vague.

I was very lucky the first time to get Customer Service Rep on the phone who was extremely helpful and walked me through setting up the LED Sneaker, but they still didn't work. I called Customer Service several times today regarding the second pair and received a recorded message instructing you to email Customer Service, which I did to inform them that the second pair of sneakers are not working properly.

Not sure how they are going to handle this mess, but I don't recommend ordering from them... definitely not worth the frustration or disappointment on the kids face when they don't work. Wish I had checked out the reviews before I purchased them. :(

Got hover kicks and they were great. After 3 months half the lights stopped working. I emailed customer service, they were quick to reply however they say no way to fix & that it's probably from use. We were so careful not to get them wet etc... whatever with them. I can't return becuz not within 30 day window

I have bought a pair of hoverkicks and in about a week, the lights on one shoe is acting up. The back of the shoe is lighting and not the front. I believe soon the whole shoe will not work. Looking towards a new LED Sneaker that has a good brand and works for a lifetime. Really disappointed!

I purchased two pairs of hover kicks within the last month. Because of all the compliments my children received on them, I purchased a pair for my niece. I believe recent events of hover kicks malfunctioning has caused shipments to be held up in customs. My niece's sneakers were due to arrive on Monday 6/6 but as of today they were awaiting clearance before being shipped to my home in Philadelphia. When I asked for a discount for the inconvenience I was told it was an UPS issue. However, the several UPS representatives I spoke to throughout the week stated it was due to the shipment not being up to par. Needless to say this will be the last pair we buy and will not recommend them anymore when we are stopped by strangers like we did during the last few weeks.
