Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world. – Marilyn Monroe.
If my girls were old enough to understand this quote, I’m sure they’d agree. They have a love for shoes that I have never had. The moment they try on the right pair of shoes, they rock them like they’re a damn queen. An invincible, strong and determined queen.
Which is exactly what happened when they tried on their new kids Skechers light up shoes. I mean really though, if I had light up shoes I’d be pretty chuffed too.
Skechers Twinkle Toes Review
Is there anything a toddler could want more in a pair of shoes than unicorns, rainbows, sparkles and flashing lights? No. The answer is a hard no. That’s exactly what little girls want, well mine anyway!
If you are looking at these shoes wondering where the flashing lights are, you will find them hidden on the toe cap among the sparkly coloured studs. Each time a step is taken the flickers of light appear.
- Lightweight: The kids Skechers Twinkle Toes are lightweight with a supportive sole. Great for active toddlers that want to run, ride and climb.
- Shoelaces: Instead of traditional shoelaces there are elastic fake laces with a supporting Velcro strap at the top. This makes it so easy for little ones to put their own shoes on and help teach independence.
- No blisters: This is a big one for me because when I was a child I remember every pair of shoes giving me blisters until I wore them in. My daughter wore these all day without even a complaint of the shoes rubbing on her heel.
- Quality: So far I cannot fault the quality or workmanship of these Skechers kids shoes. The stitching is tight with no frays. The fabric is thick and appears durable. The cushioned insole and flexible rubber outer sole have provided my toddler with a comfortable and versatile everyday shoe.
These are available in sizes to suit toddlers (approx. ages 1-4) for $69.95 and children (approx. ages 5-8) for $89.95. You can purchase these kids Skechers Twinkle Toes from Tiptoe & Co.
Skechers S Lights Galaxy Lights Review
As a mother with three kids currently in primary school, finding good quality and comfortable school shoes / sneakers that will last is a time consuming job. Often kids shoes that look cool don’t seem to last very long and the shoes that are built to last lack the visual appeal. According to my daughter, the Skechers Galaxy Lights have nailed comfort and look.
BONUS: In addition to the galaxy-inspired print with glitter overlays these sporty Skechers have flashing lights as well which I’m sure helped the coolness factor. The colourful lights on these shoes can be found in the 3D sculpted star shaped detail on the midsole sides.
- Lightweight: The Skechers S Galaxy Lights are lightweight with a supportive sole. This is perfect for active and sport loving kids like my daughter.
- Shoelaces: No laces to tie up or fiddle with, these shoes feature slip-on bungee laces and a supporting Velcro strap at the top.
- No blisters: My daughter took a risk wearing these for the first time at a sports carnival but I’m happy to say, these kids Skechers resulted in no blisters after a full day of running around!
- Quality: I cannot fault the quality and workmanship of these shoes at all. The fabric appears to be breathable without sacrificing durability.
These are available in sizes to suit children (approx. ages 5-8) for $79.95. You can purchase these kids Skechers S Lights Galaxy Lights from Tiptoe & Co.

AMS was gifted kids Skecher shoes for the purpose of this review.
All opinions are our own.
Love these classic shoes!
Would have to be how comfy the shoes are for my kids
I really look for shoes that will last and of course something cute.
I always look for support and comfort in shoes when buying for my little girl as they are always on the go running and playing sketchers tick all that even with their fantastic designs
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win some of these delightful shoes!
That they are easy for my kids to take off/put on, my kids are only little so they havent mastered shoe laces so they must have Velcro. One day they will master laces but right now velcro is easier and it means they can put their shoes on without help!
My son started walking late as he has tight calve muscles so often tip toe walks. For me it is important that he wears well fitting, supportive shoes to help stabilize his gait. For him, he loves shoes that are colorful and easy for him to put on and take off on his own – he is a strong independent toddler who loves to be helpful!
Correctly fitted shoes and good ankle support are what I look for! Velcro fitting are perfect for my 3 year old as adjustable and she can do it by herself.
These really are the best toddler shoes, it’s very difficult to put shoes on a toddler who doesn’t want to wear them but with her last pair of Twinkle Toes I couldn’t get them off her she loved them!
For me, the most important thing is comfort. My kids arent fans of shoes at the best of times, and will strip them off every opportunity they get. So they need to feel comfortable in them. We also prefer shoes that are easy to put on, as little ones dont have the patience for shoelaces!
The most important thing to me when purchasing shoes for my daughter is that it is the right type of shoe. I make sure it doesn’t have any arches, heels, ankle support and soft flexible soles, because these type of shoes offer protection to her feet but do not interfere with the foot in anyway.
That my daughter likes them. While I’m all for the right support, fit, quality etc in truth, so long as my daughter loves them and I don’t have to fight to get her to put them on in the morning I’m a happy mum!
So gorgeous, love them all!
When I buy shoes for my boy, I look for high quality and appropriate foot support. My boy is a toe walker so we’re looking for sturdy shoes to help the development of his feet (bonus if they look great too!)
The fabric/material. I want my toddler to be comfortable yet sturdy.
When I’m looking for a pair of shoes,
I look for a pair that my daughter would choose.
Our number one priority is a comfortable shoe,
Whether it’s pink, yellow or blue,
She likes her shoes colourful and cute,
She would prefer a sneaker over a boot.
We choose shoes with a velcro strap,
As for now, shoelaces are a bit of a trap.

CONGRATS!! You’ve won.
Comfort & sizing has to be right
Comfort and something they feel confident to wear.
Well made. I need them to last as I can’t afford to replace broken shoes very often. Especially this time of year.
My daughter would love some new shoes they look so pretty and easy for them to put on and off
The most important thing is that the shoes fit correctly
S-hoes for my child need to be
K-id friendly.
E-asy to take on and off
C-omfortable,
H-ave to be long lasting,
E-ver so lightweight,
R-eally ‘cool’ styles too.
S-ome new Skechers surely will do!
My daughter would love this desperately she really wants light up sketches like her friends but i cant afford them
I akways look for good sizing, good quality and a good reputation
The most important thing when buying shoes for my daughter is finding a pair she will actually want to keep on!
Sketchers shoes not only fit the mummy brief of practicality but my daughters brief of fun and funky!
That they actually like the shoes as opposed to you telling them to wear them. Pure and simply, if they don’t like them then its a real struggle to get them to wear them.
Quality. I want shoes that will last the distance, so to speak.
The only shoes my 3yo ASD son will wear ?
I make my kids take a walk in the shoes, to be sure they fit well and are comfortable. Otherwise they won’t be worn very often if not at all & will be a waist of money!
It’s important that the shoes are supportive and comfortable. I think these Skechers thagblight ul are just adorable too
I want value for money when buyng shoes. I don’t mind paying more if it means my children’s feet are safe & comfortable. Styles that are going to suit with lots of outfits are a bonus aswell.
With 3 boys we go through alot of shoes so what i look for is quality if they are strong and durable and will last, next is whether they are comfortable this is very important as our kids are in their shoes alot they have to feel comfortable and durable to last, i get the boys to try new shoes on and have a walk and ask if they like them do they feel comfortable. Also i always get them a little bigger so im not buying a pair of shoes for 2 months i also tend to go for name brand shoes that are more costly but they do last longer.
I always make sure we buy good quality shoes for my daughter. Definitely look for quality over quantity when it comes to shoes. She is almost 4 and has always walked with her feet turning in (pigeon toed) and often trips over so good shoe support is vital for us.
Ill also leave a joke to make you laugh.
Q) What is made of leather, a foot long and sounds like a sneeze
A) A shoe
What I look for in a shoe is that they are durable/ easy to take on and off/comfortable and of course something he would love to wear out and show off 🙂
What We look for in a shoe is that they are durable/ easy to take on and off/comfortable and of course something he would love to wear out and show off 🙂 bonus also if it has a wide front… my son has fat feet and I find Skechers are perfect on him!
Support for her feet,
That she thinks they are sweet,
No blisters are a bonus
When we go walking through the street
I look for quality materials, make and fit. I would rather by quality over quantity and invest in an amazing pair of shoes that will last and support my little girls very active and growing feet! I also buy from small businessed 99% of the time and love supporting other mums working hard for their own families x
Comfort is super important as happy feet mean happy toddler and as a result, happy mum!
Easy to get on and off. Charlie is always in a hurry to do something so he ain’t got time for complicated or ill fitted shoes! Reliability.. A brand you can trust is a great find! Quality materials.. We all want our kids shoes to last and accompany them on loads of adventures!

I look for shoes that will last… too many times I have bought cheap shoes for them to fall apart in a week or 2. I love Skechers for my daughter because she grows out of them before they fall apart! Plus they are super pretty and the lights! Oh my!
That they’re not going to rub my little girls feet too much and cause blisters.
As my little girl has flat feet, I have to make sure that they have the comforter in them and that she feels balanced..
I choose shoes for my two lil people based on comfort and support. Luckily so many kids shoes today also look great!! Light ups are a huge bonus ?
I look for good quality shoes that have good support and won’t fall apart after a few wears.
i Make sure both feet are measured, Most children, will have one foot that is longer or wider, so it’s vital to check both feet.
The most important thing is that my kids will wear the shoes! Fortunately Skechers make shoes that are both good for little feet whilst looking fantastic and fun!
When looking to buy shoes they have to be quality made, comfortable and look good and also not too expensive. I have found my girls are quite picky with shoes and would prefer to buy something I know they will love and want to wear.
When I buy shoes for my little girl, I look for comfort, style and a bit of sparkle. Skechers has it all ?
Best shoes ever for comfort and style addicted much!
Most important thing when purchasing shoes is the right fit so it is comfortable for my kids to walk and run in. Shoes can be stylish or expensive but if not the right fit, my kids would never wear them.
Thanks so much for the opportunity great shoes
Quality and durability! A pet peeve of mine is shoes that literally last a week, before they start falling apart. Kids are rough on shoes, so they need to be well-made.
The best thing when purchssing kids shoes is to make sure you get the perfect fit. No too tight or small and not too loose or big. Bring child with you so there is no guesswork.
The soles need to be thick and durable. Firstly to prevent them being penetrated by a rough item (nail, glass, stick) during their adventures. Secondy because despite my best efforts my children’s shoes continue to be used as bike brakes
Room for them to grow into, but not too much, it has to be just right.
One of my daughter’s has curly toes so I look for room around the toe area and flexibility on the soles. Having a fun pair of shoes which light up doesn’t hurt either!
I need to have the kids shoes fitted properly, their feet change size so quickly, they may love them but they have to be good for their feet.
To me kids shoes are all about comfort and ease of getting on and off.
The most important thing is that shoes fit the kids feet correctly. It was drummed into me as a kid just how important the right shoe was and I proved it when I bought badly fitting but trendy shoes. I only wore them once then gave them away as they hurt my feet so much after a few hours that I could hardly walk.
So ture Marilyn Monroe. I hear you girlfriend. For me a shoe that lasts and is durable is important. Kids are rough on their shoes, so its needs to last. It needs to be kid tough.
Shoes need to be good quality, they need to survive through tree climbing, puddle jumping and many park days. They also need to look fun and fabulous so the kids are happy!
These look amazing, thanks for the chance!
All of us need good comfortable footwear, especially our young ones as they develop. I love Skechers shoes and so does my young granddaughter….all of 3 and a fashionista beyond belief….and she says these shoes are just her to a tee
wether they actually like them and will wear them my daughter has few different shoes but will only wear the pair she likes
My 4 yr old granddaughter would be over the moon if she had a pair of Sketchers Twinkle Toes.
She’s right into unicorns,rainbows and sparkles and would adore the flashing lights in the toe caps.
They look very trendy with the fake laces, and the supporting velcro strap at the top means she can put them on by herself.In bright pink with a pretty pattern of rainbows and unicorns its all a little girl would want in a shoe! Having had Sketchers before, I can also vouch for their durability and quality.
The most important thing is that they fit properly and don’t restrict my child’s foot in any way.
Great giveaway!
Trying to find shoes that are good for feet and my daughter will actually wear can be a bit tricky! I don’t think I’d have any trouble with these!
Skechers are my favourite shoes to buy for my daughter. They are so colourful and pretty, with so many different amazing styles to choose from. They always last along time. She gets excited when she outgrows her Skechers and gets to pick a new pair
most important thing for me is comfort and her its style
so finding both will make me smile
shoes that protect growing feet
that look cool is kinda neat
Room to move their little toes no squished toes! Shoes should be practicable and fun!
Really for me it is making sure they will actually wear them. I’ve been caught out buying expensive shoes that my kids simply will not wear because they don’t love them
no loose or scratchy bits other wise all i get is m shoe hurts, my foot doesnt like the shoe
these shoes were made for walking
I just want shoes that will last! With all the jumping, scooting, scraping, running, sliding and skipping my kid does, these Skechers just need to last the distance!
I find sketchers super compfy!
I like to let my kids choose so there needs to be a variety of options at an affordable price, quality is most important to me- the styles must be durable and able to withstand play!
I’ve never actually seen sketchers for little boys. I’m excited to try them!
Quality and fit! Cheap isn’t always the best way. Good shoes that are fitted are best for young feet.
Comfort and durability! Growing up I’ve always had issues with the fit of shoes so I’d love for my little one not to go through the same!
I most important thing to me is getting my little boy shoes that fit him properly, so they’re comfortable and and support his growing feet. Those little feet need to carry him through life!
They def have to be comfy for her, and last!
Comfort is obviously number one priority but when the shoes look as cute as these Skechers do, I can guarantee they’ll be kept on!
Quality and comfort are my main concerns, but hey, sure is great if they look good too (Skechers have it all).
I always look for quality shoes that have the correct fit. Ill fitting shoes cause problems later in life. Comfort and durability are a must.
long lasting funky colourful and comfy
Quality, to withstand a toddlers day,
of running, jumping, mischief and play,
sturdy and comfortable on their feet,
quality shoes just can’t be beat!
When I get something new that fits, it comfortable, that I’ll wear everyday and is so on trend, I feel like a millionaire… That’s the feeling I want my kids to have with their shoes. Comfy, proud and shoes that are loved and cared for with all their heart.
I look for shoes that always stick together when you take them off. I haven’t found them yet but I keep dreaming.
Shoes that do not compromise the health of my toddlers feet is most important, so cushioning, natural materials and comfort.
Would love to win and test these shoes out ?
Just perfect
When buying my kids shoes I look for ones that are comfortable and support their growing feet, ones that can actually handle kids wearing them and will last a while, and ones that the kids can put on themselves. Big bonus if the shoes are super cute!
The most important thing when buying shoes is the price and quality. I have 2 boys that won’t stop growing. I’m always buying shoes.
Durability at an affordable price!
The ease of putting them on. I still have flashbacks to year 2 and the bell going with my shoes at my feet.
I look at the workmanship compared to price. My daughter’s favourite thing in the whole world is “jumping”. Off things, over things, into things. And it means for some serious shoe scrapes. I have learned not to be disappointed when the soles of shoes are wearing away after only a week… but only because I am becoming aware of which brands fall apart easier than others. Sadly, expense doesn’t always equal quality. Skechers is one of the rare few brands that look great, feel comfy, and last longer than others. I don’t mind paying a little extra for these when we can afford it. Otherwise, it’s the best-looking pair that Target has to offer!
The most important is the fit, comfort and breathable shoes you can walk in for hours and don’t give you any pain or discomfort throughout the day.
I wish these were made for grown ups
If they like them and they are comfy i’m happy, their happy. I’ve learned not to sweat the small stuff. At the end of the day they are the ones wearing them.
Signed former high strung shoe nut
These look like excellent shoes made to last
Something with lots of cushioning and no laces for my 3 yr old!
I would want shoes that are comfortable to wear and mos importantly, the child loves to wear it!
The most important thing is that the kids love the shoes. I would show the shoes to the kids prior to purchasing and also provide some inputs/advise to them if necessary. I will let them make their decision. No matter how the shoes look like, it is very important that they love the shoes, that they learn to make decision, and finally to become themselves doing what they love to do.
I use the rule of the 3 C’s ….. Comfort, Cute and Cost.
Shoes she will love to wear and that don’ disintegrate the second she forgets where the brake on her scooter is and uses her foot instead.
They need to be practical, comfortable and easy to put on and take off.
With boys that’s easy they need to be quality that lasts
Shoes must be comfortable, supportive and durable and look great and that is Sketchers!!!!
I look for a reputable brand, preferably recommended by podiatrists. The bones in children’s feet are soft & constantly growing & need to be supported every step of the way.
I look for price , comfort and durability. My kids look for pink or purple , with glitter or mermaids or unicorns or flashing lights…so they tend to be barefoot a lot because…toddlers!
Sturdy and sparkly are rarely heard together when it comes to shoes for my toddler so the twinkle toes would be perfect for my active princess.
We invest in good footwear so our kids can be active and to protect their feet. I need their shoes to be well made, to last and to do what they need to. With a particular son and a fashion-conscious daughter, it helps if they want to wear their shoes too.
Shoes that are comfy; no hard edges please Mum.
Shoes that are light; it’s easier to run!
Of course if they’re bright and colourful too….well; they’re fun!!
Comfort and quality. I want my kids to want to wear their shoes and I want to get plently of use out of them.
Comfort and durability.
Shoes that fit correctly, for me.
Their feet get big so quick it seems,
Shoes that are easy to clean too,
Would be a dream.
For us its price, we cant afford to look more than $20
I always look out for quality in shoes. They need to be able to withstand my kids play! Also it’s important that my kids actually want to wear the shoes! Many times I purchased great shoes only for them to hate the style!
Comfort, no laces and make sure the shoes are ones the little man will like otherwise it will be a struggle to keep them on his feet.
Quality of the shoes is the #1 thing I look for. Quality of the shoe includes:
Durability: Great quality shoes last
Comfort: She’ll want to wear them if they’re comfy and won’t hurt herself trying to find a comfortable walking stride.
Ease of use: Laces or no laces and velcro or buckles. I want shoes that are easy to use for both myself and my very independent toddler. She’s very independent you know…
Walkability: Shoes that are light enough to not wear out little legs. Walks and days at the park are not as fun when your legs are worn out from shoes that are too heavy.
Appearance: She needs to love them to wear them. There’s no way that i will be able to get shoes on a toddler who doesn’t like her shoes.
Let’s be honest here, I look for shoes that will be easy to find when my daughter loses them for the millionth time. Bright colours really help when I’m on my hands and knees looking under couches, beds and even under the fridge (yes that did happen once with a thong!).
Comfort and fun is what i love in my childres shoes!!
It’ essential that they are comfortable, have room to grow and can be put on and off easily – The holy trifecta
They must be able to stand the test of time and be truly indestructible, they are going to have to withstand puddle jumping, hours running around the playground and climbing trees. They must be a superhero in the form of a shoe!
My daughter starts kindy next year – and she is petrified. She told me she needs something magic to keep her safe, and these shoes would be perfect for her. Something she can wear every day that are special and fun could be just what she needs to give her that boost of excitement about kindy!!
Support and sparkles!! And they light up!!
Well even I would love a pair!!
Fitting in with school dress code,
Helps to lighten the load…
As does price, tread, sensibility,
And shoes that increase my child’s ability.
A pair that support their growing feet:
But still look trendy on the street!
But the number one thing that I look for:
Is value for money, shoes that don’t leave me poor!
The right fit, that won’t break the bank because before we know it, we’ll be right back buying a bigger pair!!!
My 3 year old is just growing out of a pair of Skechers Twinkle Toes that were handed down from a friend and we love them! Miss loves the bright colours and flashing lights, Mumma loves the fabulous quality, support and the Velcro that gives my girl the independence she craves. A brand new pair to replace her hand-me-downs would be amazing!
Affordability, comfort and I also let the kids have a say with what they look like.
Comfy shoes that fit my daughters orthotic insoles, which sketchers do, thank goodness!
comfort and fit so there is no damage to their precious tootsies
I look for well,-fitted shoes where I can see in an instant that my son is moving naturally and well in. So I know he can climb, crawl, and explore to his heart’s content.
Comfy, so no painful blisters.
Would have to be the fit and comfort for their precious little feet
It’s important to me when to me when purchasing my kids shoes that they look nice and my kids want to wear them, that they don’t have shoe laces that pose a tripping risk and too hard for little fingers, that they are comfortable and wont harm my children’s precious little feet and most of all that they are a quality brand… that’s why my entire family choose Sketchers!
Shoes need to be the correct size and fit first and foremost, to avoid foot problems later on. So important not to damage precious little feet through badly fitting shoes.
Whilst getting the right fit is important to me,
If the child doesn’t like the shoes . . .
They will never be worn and it will be a waste of money,
So I try to make us both happy.
They need to be super comfy and most importantly, they have to like them. Otherwise the shoes will not get worn!
That there’s no carrying on, complaining or tantrums in the shoe store because they ‘don’t like’ or ‘want’ the shoes. It’s embarrassing and does this Dad’s head in. The shoes have to be practical, number one.
