What Are Light Up Heels?

Light up heels are high heels fitted with LED lights embedded in the sole, heel, or platform. Unlike traditional glow-in-the-dark heels, these beauties shine thanks to battery-powered LEDs that can flash, blink, or glow in multiple colors. They’re bold, playful, and made to turn heads on the dancefloor or down the aisle. Whether you’re looking for glowing party shoes or unique statement footwear, these are the ultimate conversation starters.

What Are Those Light Up Shoes Called?

Great question! While many people refer to them as “LED heels” or “glowing heels,” their full name is often “light up high heels” or “glowing LED platform heels.” You might also come across them under:

• Glow heels for women
• Flashing light up stilettos
• LED party shoes
• Luminous high heels

Unlike passive glow-in-the-dark shoes that need UV light to charge, LED heels feature built-in lights powered by rechargeable or replaceable batteries. This means you can enjoy a consistent glow all night long!

Are Light Up Heels Still Popular?

Absolutely, they’re more popular than ever! Thanks to the rise of TikTok fashion, rave culture, and futuristic fashion aesthetics like Cybercore and Y2K revival, light up heels have made a bold comeback. Brides are even rocking glowing stilettos for wedding after-parties, and influencers are flaunting sparkly LED platforms at Coachella, Burning Man, and neon-themed events.

Women of all ages are loving light up heels for:

• Bachelorette parties & festivals
• Club nights & dance performances
• Pride parades & concerts
• Halloween & cosplay

They’re not just trendy, they’re empowering. These glowing heels are all about owning your spotlight and feeling fabulous.

How Long Do Light Up Heels Last?

Most of our LED heels come with built-in rechargeable batteries that last between 5 to 8 hours on a full charge, depending on the lighting mode (steady vs. flashing). You’ll typically get:

• Steady glow: 6-8 hours
• Flashing mode: 5-6 hours
• RGB color-changing: varies based on usage

Charging is easy via USB port, just plug them in like your phone! Always check your product’s instructions for specific battery life and care tips to keep your glow going strong.

H2: Are Light Up Heels Good?

If by “good” you mean fabulously extra and surprisingly comfy, yes! But let’s break it down. Light up heels aren’t just eye-candy; they’re also made with supportive soles, ankle straps for stability, and shock-absorbing platforms for better balance.

They’re ideal if you want:

• Maximum impact with minimal effort
• Comfortable, secure fit for dancing
• Unique style that reflects your personality

Choose platform LED heels if you want added comfort or stiletto light up heels if you love a sleeker silhouette. We even have light up wedge heels if you prefer something more grounded but still glam.

What Are the Cons of Light Up Heels?

While they’re undeniably fun, light up heels do have a few caveats:

• Not suitable for all formal events (unless you’re a bold bride!)
• May be heavier due to internal battery and wiring
• Not all styles are waterproof
• Require charging time before use
• May draw too much attention if you're camera-shy!

But let’s be real, these heels are made for moments when you want to be seen. They’re for celebrations, not subtlety.

Can You Wear Light Up Heels in the Rain?

Here’s the scoop: most light up heels are not fully waterproof. While a few pairs are designed to be water-resistant, we recommend avoiding puddles and heavy rain to protect the electronics inside.

If you expect wet weather:

• Opt for light up wedges or platforms with a sealed sole
• Bring a backup pair of waterproof shoes
• Avoid submerging your heels in water

Some styles are safer for light drizzle or indoor events. Always check the product description or message us if you're unsure.

Can I Wash Light Up Heels?

You should never submerge LED heels in water or machine wash them. Instead:

• Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning
• Avoid soaking the battery area
• Use gentle soap for stains, but wipe carefully

For sparkly light up heels, pat dry with a towel and avoid abrasives. Proper care helps maintain both the light function and the outer shine, so you can glow again and again.

Highlights include:

They’re especially great for beginners or anyone who wants to dance without sacrificing comfort, or the glow.

Difference Between Light Up Heels and Glow in the Dark Heels

This is a common confusion, let’s clear it up:

• Glow in the Dark Heels absorb light and glow temporarily in the dark, usually green or blue. No batteries involved.
• Light Up Heels use actual LED lights powered by a battery or USB charge, offering multiple colors and flashing patterns.

So if you want long-lasting shine with more control, go for the LED high heels. They’re more versatile, reliable, and totally programmable (in some cases).

Whether you’re dancing at a rave, saying “I do” under fairy lights, or just stepping into your most fabulous self, our light up heels are here to help you sparkle with every step. With designs ranging from sequined LED platforms to elegant bridal light up stilettos, there’s a pair waiting to glow just for you.

Because here at OhMyHeels, we believe fashion should be fun, fearless, and—sometimes, lit.
