Why waste a perfectly good pair of MAGs? :confused
Oh I agree. I wouldn't wear them myself. I just saw Mitas' rendering and wanted to "fix" it. My OCD going crazy.

Photos are great and the shoes look amazing. Maybe yourself or anyone else that has these can tell me, does the material 'glisten' in light/photo flash on all pairs or have you coated your pair with something??
Well, my midsole EL for my first shoe broke. Looks like I have to order a sheet from airair in order to have enough to make another one when I get to my next shoe.
Hopefully they will be the same color. That is, if you already made both EL soles already.
Mitas I cannot understand why you are having such a hard time with that bottom el panel installation. I just used an xacto knife to carefully slice the sole away from the side of the shoe. I do sort of an in then down technique. Then I slice all the way down near the base. From there you can carefully flex the side wide open to easily drop the el panel in. I think you aren't opening it enough and are trying to fit it in there by pushing with too much force from what it sounds like. Just slice that baby open all the way.
I cut the whole thing off. You must not have read my post. That whole piece of clear sole isn't attached to the shoe anymore. The reason the EL broke was because the layers of it peeled up for some reason and just stopped working.

Ah yes I do recall you mentioning something about removing that thing entirely. Also that EL sheet is not supposed to peel apart so easily like that. BTW your lights are done. Message me if you still want them.
Hmm. Either it was a bad piece of EL or did you possibly get super glue on the backside of the EL?

Mitas: which buttons did you get?
So what's the final verdict? I'm using the LEDs from the shopping list on pg. 58 and am planning on wiring them in a series per JediFyfe's tutorial. I am using a 9v battery setup. Do I need resistors? Thanks in advance to everyone on here. I'm already knee deep into my first shoe.
If you follow the way Jedifyfe did his, they will be dull. You have to do it the way Taff does it. He hasn't been here in a couple days though, but keep an eye out for him. And you don't need any resistors.
First, THAT is a great mod Mitas! I hope the bubble stays in place while walking.
I'm unsure why your LEDS turned out dull the way that I have them wired. It must be the voltage of the LEDS you have. I believe mine are 3v LEDS.
