Purple Moon Shoes

kids loved these

just ok. my daughter has a hard time balancing on them. even wih fewer rubber bands on them she doesn't get "spring"

These were purchased for my Grandson for Christmas. They are hard to get on. Clumsy and don't have the effect they would have you believe. He never really used them and a waste of money. They were useless and also very dangerous. Defintely would not recommend.

great fun, gets the kids moving and gives them the trampoline feeling without having a big brown spot in the yard! Can also be done in the house, just not on floors. Carpeted surfaces so they don't slip!

Received these as a gift for our 7 year old with only the best intentions. My 11 year old also tried them. If the picture on the box was anywhere near reality then it would be a great toy and would blame no one for buying them. Followed direction and put them together. They are quite a pain to put together because you are supplied with a bag of 50 greasy elastic bands that need to be fed through hooked onto the shoes. Setup is different depending on the weight of the child which is understandable but its a hassle.There is very little elastic stretch or 'bounce' with these. The picture on the box looks like you are bouncing off a trampoline and my guess is the kid in the picture actually is! The sad truth is you can probably jump higher and with more flexibility without the shoes than with on. They are also quite dangerous in my opinion. I made my daughter wear a helmet for the few minutes she tried them before giving up frustrated and I couldnt blame her. You can easily twist an ankle or worse with these.Would you really let your kid jump as high as the kid in the photo with the shoes strapped to their feet with two weak velcro straps?I really question the validity of the positive reviews on this one.

My daughter received this as a gift and we excitedly put it all together for her to use right away. The minute she put her feet in the shoes, however, I saw the immediate problem. Just imagine your feet attached to 2 platform that are higher than they are wide. It is too easy for the shoe to fall over. But if your foot is attached, it's going with the shoe. The perfect recipe for a broken ankle.There are not too many toys that I ban from my kids. This toy makes the top of the list. I am surprised these are still be sold.

My daughter just turned seven and we got these for her birthday because she loves to be outside. She thought they were cool for a few days and now they are sitting in the garage. We put the appropriate number of strings on for her weight (56 pounds) but she doesn't seem to bounce very high. And she needs help getting them on. She was upset because some neighbor boys made fun of her due to the fact that they are so big and awkward looking. I wouldn't tell someone not to buy them but I wish I would have gotten something else for her.

Purchased 2 pairs for my 8 & 9 year old daughters for Christmas. The shoes are made of cheap pieces of plastic. The box includes bunches of black, elastic bands that you need to really s-t-r-e-t-c-h onto the shoes to provide the "bounce". The more your child weighs, the more bands you use, but you have to double or triple them onto the same hooks. They are very hard to install and could be dangerous if they snap back into your face while you are installing them. Once assembled, the kids played with them for about 10 minutes before becoming bored. They haven't played with them since. Don't waste your money!
