Light up shoes example

Best Answer

Light-up shoes would be the preferred name for them.

Light shoes, though a valid phrasing, would normally be taken with light as an adjective, so it's a description of their weight,

?Lights shoes is a) an awkward phrase due to the "ts-sh" combination in the middle, and b) violates the normal rule that an attributive noun (light) should be singular.
