How do I remove light-up feature on kids shoes??

I bought some light-up shoes for my grandkids. Their school district doesn't allow this feature because of the active shooter problems in schools now. If the kids were forced to take cover, light-up shoes would draw attention to them. It's a shame this world has come to that but it makes sense. What can I do to break the lights? Thanks for your help.

    Stick the shoes in the microwave for about five seconds. Should fry the LEDs an not damage the shoes.

    Leslie...l agree with your comment about our world but like you...rules are rules. l might attempt to contact the company & see if they can make a suggestion. Have you thought of a tape or painting that area? Good luck to you. Our grandchildren are so very precious & we all want them safe in our schools!

  • Goodness gracious! Wow. I would contact the manufacturer and explain the issue. I feel so bad for children these days. They shouldn't have to worry about such things. Maybe, and this is a stretch, see if they will send you some non light up versions of the shoes and keep the light up models for weekends? Worth a try?
