Hoverkicks defective New York New York

Given Hoverkick sneakers as a present.  Wore 3 times for short periods indoors, and some of the lights stopped working, other intermittently.  Hoverkicks will not replace them becuase it has been more than 30 days since purchase, even though most of that time they were sitting in a box waiting to be opened. A shoe should be able to be worn more than 3 times.  I like the idea of the shoes, but clearly the company knows they are not robust enough to last more than 30 days (or more than 3 days in my case), hence the strict no retun after 30 day policy.
