The ones that go on your shoes, does each pack work with both the left and right shoe meaning you get two per pack? Or when you get two packs, that is what you need for two shoes?
Fribsday is the best day of the week, hands down.

@Yoda_Daenerys They’ve worked fine for me. The red looks red on its own in the dark but next to another light, particularly the green, they look more orange. The spurs stay attached pretty well to sneakers as long as you put them on snuggly and right-side up.
@Yoda_Daenerys
I have two red ones that go on the shoes. They are very effective: I’ve had a guy stop me when I was running to say how much he “enjoyed the light show”.
My only complaint is that have a tendency to fall off sometimes.
Actually as dumb as they seem I bought some last go-round and, being a huge dork, like them a lot. I put one on the strap of my backpack and light it up when I’m out walking in the dark. Feels very “Tron.” So screw it, I’m in for a set of red ones.
@medz those things are great if you get the rubber Chuck It balls. My dog destroys tennis balls because she chomps down so hard on them when she retrieves them.
@RiotDemon@medz +1 for rubber chuck it balls. Medium is just the right size for my 18lb dog. Anything rubber and chewy are my dog’s favorite! Unlike tennis balls, these don’t fall apart after months of chewing. They keep bouncing and bouncing!
@kshannon1 I use the same size for my 75lb Pitt mutt. I already had the thrower that fit tennis balls, so I stuck with that size. When she’s running back, she completely destroys tennis balls by chewing so hard that they split at the seams. She hasn’t destroyed the Chuck it and I’ve probably had it 6mo.
Dang, the wraps already sold out of red and green? Now how will I give my bike position lights?!

These are nice enough, the spurs don’t stay on my boots worth a crap, but I can dangle the wraps off my pack when I’m searching through the woods and I’m easy to spot in the dark. Not in for any more, though.
I bought two of the spurs last time. They don’t stay on my feet for squat, but they make great bracelets for walking at night. I use them any time I’m out after 9, which happens more and more as it warms up.
I bought the green arm bands last time. I use them when walking at night and I can hear cars slow down behind me as they see a green flashing light and think, “WTF is that?” Safety first.

Nah
That’s what the “Meh” button is for
Bright idea-- but no thanks
First dog collars, now people collars?
@KDemo But no cheese logs
@huja - Yet!
@KDemo Keep hope alive
The sun is my safety light. I never leave home without it.
@lordbowen I bet that makes more long days in the winter!
Bought them last time. Wife says they’re too dorky to wear.
@ELEM she wants you dead?
@ELEM but you wear them anyway because your wife’s no fun, right?
The ones that go on your shoes, does each pack work with both the left and right shoe meaning you get two per pack? Or when you get two packs, that is what you need for two shoes?
@cengland0 They go on either shoe. It works best if you have them right-side up, as in you could read the label.
@jqubed The packaging is confusing because it shows a model with it on both shoes and says it includes two batteries.
The other versions of this correctly shows just one on an arm or bike.

No purple? For that alone, meh.

@mbimeh maybe eye meh, i don’t even know what that word-day is
@mbimeh A “Better Off Ted” reference! I will now drift happily off to sleep, my head full of beautiful (but far too brief) memories.
Booo. Boo, I say. Boo. Be done with these silly things! Boo!
how have the past sales of these on Meh. been accepted/reviewed?
can you give a sista a link?

Next week sell a two pack of those ball throwing things for like dogs or whatever.

need’s a knife blade
They are cool. Put about 4-5 of them on bike, but they are flimsy, 2 broke completely, others falling apart.
@username hmmm, i think you talked me out of my impulse buy
No bluetooth. They suck for margaritas. Can’t stab shit with the things.
Total Meh for the win.
Dang, the wraps already sold out of red and green? Now how will I give my bike position lights?!

If they were “2 for $5”… maybe.
@Scott586 Like an Arby’s roast beef sandwich? That sounds pretty good, actually… I want some lunch now.
These are nice enough, the spurs don’t stay on my boots worth a crap, but I can dangle the wraps off my pack when I’m searching through the woods and I’m easy to spot in the dark. Not in for any more, though.
I have the green ones that I strap to seat tube and down tube to illuminate my bike for night rides. Straps are silicone type material and work good.
Yes… yes I did. I’ve known this several times now.
I bought two of the spurs last time. They don’t stay on my feet for squat, but they make great bracelets for walking at night. I use them any time I’m out after 9, which happens more and more as it warms up.
Meh, stop trying to make fetch* happen. It’s not going to happen.

So, these make it easier for the axe maniac to follow you in the dark??
