Hey mama! You know how our little boys just can’t get enough of cool, fun stuff that makes them feel like superheroes or space explorers? Well, I just found something that ticks all those boxes and solves one of our little everyday struggles—getting shoes on without drama!
Let me tell you about these Glow-in-the-Dark Flat Shoelaces. Yes, they actually glow! My son calls them his “night mission laces” and honestly, he’s never been more excited to put on his shoes. If your little one loves anything flashy, colorful, or just plain fun, these will be an instant hit.
They come in a range of sizes—so whether he’s in his school trainers, high-tops, or weekend sneakers, there’s a pair that fits just right. And they’re flat laces, so they stay tied and look neat even during wild playground adventures.
What makes them so special?
They absorb natural or artificial light during the day and then glow brightly in the dark or dim light. It's not battery-powered, so no charging, no parts to break. Just simple, safe fun. I even caught my son waving his feet under the living room lamp one evening to “recharge” his laces before bedtime. It was hilarious—and honestly, pretty adorable.
Why do I love them (and why I know you will too)?
They're perfect for kids who want a bit of personality in their shoes. Whether it’s just to make mornings more fun or to jazz up an outfit for a party or school disco, they do the trick. Plus, they’re surprisingly practical too.
Here’s how:
They make shoes easier to spot in the evening or on dim days, which is great for playground pick-up or when you’re packing up after a party. They’re also great for safety if your child walks, cycles, or scooters in the evening—even if it’s just around the block or in the garden. A little visibility goes a long way.
You can choose from several lengths—80, 100, 120, and 140 cm—so they’ll fit all kinds of shoes. I trimmed one pair for my youngest’s little sneakers and used the longer ones in my older son’s high-tops. Easy peasy!
They come in a range of fun fluorescent colors: green, blue, pink, yellow... all super cute and fun during the day—and even more magical when the lights go down.
And because they’re made from durable polyester, they’re soft to touch but strong enough to survive daily use. They’re also washable, so when they start to look a bit dusty, just give them a quick soak and hang them to dry.
Want some real-life inspiration?
Think glow-themed birthday parties, nighttime picnics, evening walks, or even just spicing up a regular school day. Imagine your son walking into class and proudly showing off his glowing laces to his mates. It’s the kind of small thing that brings a big smile.
They also make a great party favor or stocking stuffer. They’re small, unique, and super affordable. One of those clever little finds that brings a surprising amount of joy.
And here's a cheeky bonus—they’re not just for shoes. My son has tied a pair to his backpack zipper and another to his scooter handle. You can get really creative with these!
If your boy is between 4 and 12, I’d say this is right up his alley. It’s fun, stylish, and a little bit magical—all wrapped up in one pair of shoelaces. And the best part? You won’t have to remind him to put on his shoes. He’ll be running to do it!
So yes, mum to mum, this is one of those little wins that makes our life a bit easier and their day a lot more fun. Go ahead and grab a pair (or two)—you’ll be glowing with happiness too!
