Moon Shoes

Has anyone ever tried these? Are you any good on them?


I remember I first tried them when I was ten because a girl in my neighborhood had them. So I put them on and boy was I clumsy in them. I crashed into walls and furniture and things in her bedroom and she thought I was doing it on purpose but I had so much fun on those shoes. Then I remember seeing the commercial about them and kids made it look so easy being on them because they weren't crashing into each other or falling down. Then when I was 19, I found them at work when I worked at the Folkshop so I bought them and tried them on and I was a lot better in them. I didn't fall or stumble. My balance was a lot better than it was when I was ten. My mother had me do occupational therapy when I was 11 and 12 so it improved my balance and coordination. I also heard the shoes help with your balance and coordination.

I've never heard of these, but I've always worn heavy, clumpy boots. Probably because they keep me stable.

Oh, and these!

I found moon shoes at the walmart site. If you click on the "view and enlarge" and go to the 4th image, that's a good closeup of the things.

I had never heard of them either, but they look like fun.

Weird!

my favorite shoes growing up were the basketball pump shoes. i couldnt afford them but it didnt matter because one rich kid let me pump his up all the time

Yes. I had a pair of moon shoes. I hated the feel of them and found them really upsetting. I wore them a few times and then discarded them.
THey force you to the back of your feet - to the heel - which is NOT my favourite place to be. In bare feet i walk on my toes.

the sensation of wearing them is just horrible for me.

Don't they help you bounce around? Like little trampoline shoes? I would try that.
