I can honestly say I have never laughed so much as I did today watching Erin test out the Moon Shoes for the very first time. They are a great toy to get the kids active and I love that they have also been used in imaginative play and are an ideal summer toy. Where can you buy Moon Shoes? Once we’d navigated her ‘clown feet’ down to the garden, Erin started bouncing around, falling over fairly regularly as got used to the sensation and tried to keep her balance. They are a fab way to get kids outdoors though – especially if you don’t have a garden yourself. You can always take these to the park, or even bounce on them inside. Be mindful of the neighbours if you live in an apartment though. So Can Adults Wear Moon Shoes?

Syd said Moon Shoes were harder to bounce on than her real trampoline, but they were good fun. She said it was hard not flexing her foot, as the velcro straps stop you going up onto your toes. Syd said it was more tiring bouncing on the Moon Shoes compared to the trampoline too. Designed to be worn with your normal shoes – Erin opted to wear her sturdy boots to support her ankles, slipping them into the base and tightening the velcro straps to secure them in place. She was able to do this unassisted, but getting down the stairs to our lawn on the other hand was quite eventful! After we managed to drag him away it was eight-year-old daughters turn. We had added the bands according to my son’s weight, however, my daughter was in the range below. This made it a little harder for her to bounce but didn’t stop her bouncing around pretending to be a rabbit and trying to jump higher than me. It didn’t take Syd long to get to grips with the Moon Shoes… She took them out into the garden and was bouncing around in no time! Ok Ok… So there were a few wobbles to begin with, but she was soon posing as she bounced!Erin has really enjoyed trying to jump as high as she could or over obstacles we had set up around the garden. With quite a small frame, she did find them quite heavy on her feet and it’s worth noting that if you have a younger child they may find this a bit challenging. They are definitely great for exercise and I wish we had a pedometer to see how many calories they burned! I have to be honest when I first got the Moon Shoes out of the box they were much bigger than I expected. The bases are really quite substantial in size and as such, I did worry a little that my petite and slim 8 year old would find them quite heavy on her feet.

Google got me really excited as initial opinions seemed to suggest that Moon Shoes were suitable for people up to 230lb and UK shoe size 7. (That’s EU size 41 and USA size 9).

Before you play with the Moon Shoes you need to attach the shoe straps to the bases using the provided bands.At first look, the Moon Shoes looked complicated to put together, however, once I started it was quite easy. My eleven-year-old son volunteered for the first bounce. Although he was slightly nervous at first after his first bounce he was hooked. He played at trying to jump as high as he could then at how far before pretending he was a spaceman. If you have seen either the original 1990’s ad, or the newer version, the kids all seem to be able to bounce pretty high. Syd didn’t manage more than a few inches, but she was laughing and giggling the entire time. So I suspect the heights shown in the ads are probably down to artistic licence rather than moon shoes allowing you to reach dizzy heights.
