Thank you McFly88, I sent them another mail yesterday and finally I got an answer:
"We have for you a refund, please rest assured believe will soon reach your account"
I hope to have my money back soon, then I'll probably buy a silver K-Mag pair from Kwaibay.
As far as size goes, does it run on the smaller or larger scale? I know a 10 IS a 10 but depending on the overall shape of the shoe I was thinking maybe a 9.5 to avoid the big toed sneaker look or would that not be necessary with these? Kwaibay ehh? I think I might just order those as soon as I can get some size info!
Actually I think the lacing button being in the heel is the most accurate way. Didn't Marty's lace when he popped his foot down into them? I really like that design. As for how much you need them laced, I did go through a very brief period where I only wore those ridiculous always laced skater Vans, and those worked because the tongue was about an inch of foam padding, so they really just pressure fit. The Mags wouldn't work like that because the tongue isn't like that. The difference between a firmly laced dress shoe and the shape of it when the laces are removed and the widest part of the foot can fit through it is pretty drastic, I learned that when I had to glue the tongue of a shoe in place to turn it into a pull on boot. The highest strap would have to be pulled about an inch on either side for the mechanism to be functional. The elastic straps might allow it to work, though, if he had used them instead of laces. But he used a single lace, which means he'd probably need multiple mechanisms for the elastic straps.

We got some brilliand people on these boards...why arnt we collaborating to make this happen?
Brad is a good guy and I'm sure he will share his findings with regards to the lighting system. I have also created my own replicas and will be more than happy to show people how to install the EL, which components I used, etc.
I was thinking an easy mod for the rainbow of leds on the side back to just drill out the fake led nubs continuing through the inside of the shoe, insert real leds, measure the leads and solder together.
Then I plan on attaching a switch and batteries in the top part of the shoe. For the clear cover I was thinking shoe goo!
