There is no method to get it out of the way in a comfortable/non-intrusive way when it is not being used. Im really happy with my shoes, and I would order from them again. My mom loves it Best of all I love having the amount of charge left in the charging case. Presently the difference between the 3 heights isnt all that much. ) This is just my personal opinion & experience wearing them for 2 months pretty much everyday! Perfect fit for my wide feet. However, the lights almost always stay on blue even when charging the controllers. But maybe thats just for me. Todos mis vecinos no paran de preguntarme donde lo compré, es un producto excelente.
