\u201cMy son Peyton is 9-years-old. On June 24th, his shoes got wet after he had a water day at school. Peyton did have socks on. He returned home that night and told me his feet hurt.<\/p>\n

I looked, and they were red, but I thought they were just cold. The next day he came in from being outdoors saying his feet were really burning! I looked again and they were twice as red, blistered and he was in a lot of pain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I called the doctor the next morning, his pediatrician sent me over to a foot specialist who had asked a bunch of questions in which his shoes had stopped working which was a clue it was his shoes that gave him chemical burns.<\/p>\n

Peyton developed 2nd degree chemical burns from his Sketcher lightable shoes! Apparently when they get wet the batteries release a chemical causing children\u2019s feet to burn. Our Doctor had seen this kind of burn once before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My son is a trooper. He is as tough as it gets. It was the first day of summer vacation and he has to have his feet wrapped and is unable to play with his friends or brothers.<\/p>\n

The doctor told us to treat it for about 3 weeks of using Silvadene cream and tomorrow he will be receiving a steroid for the next 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

I was not warned or had any idea that this could happen! I mean they are shoes made for kids. We are located in New York, and my husband and I have 9 children altogether.<\/p>\n

We have always bought Sketchers and never have had a problem before. This specific shoe was \u2018Rayz.\u2019 They also had an on and off switch.<\/p>\n

If parents buy these I recommend they do not get them wet or jump in puddles. I know kids love them because of the cool lights but be careful! We noticed there was a connection with his burns and his shoes when the shoes stopped lighting up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
