Ted Thorne, Alberta Grandfather, Goes Viral After Losing It Over Light-Up Shoes

After dreaming of having his own pair of light-up shoes for the last 8 years, this grandpa’s dream finally came true.

In honor of the senior’s birthday, his daughter tracked down the adult-sized kicks over the internet and filmed the big reveal.

At first, he doesn’t seem to understand what it is he’s looking at – but after a few moments, the joyous birthday boy jumps to his feet in excitement.

Evolved Footwear, the company responsible for the light-up shoes, shared the video with the caption “The highlight of our year… Nah, we mean existence!!!”
