There isn’t a huge upkeep as there would be with a large trampoline, but they bring just as much fun as having one! Moon Shoes came out, originally, around the 1950s as an effort from Nickelodeon to create toys – and were made of metal. When I was a child, they were plastic and much like Moon Shoes are now.

When it comes to putting together your shoes, they do come with the outer shoe, platform for your feet and the straps all separated – and it is effort to put them together. I didn’t realize my dad had done the stretching! There are a bunch of replacement bands, so if your bands start to wear out, you can just switch them out for a new set, and keep on jumping!

Moon Shoes are recommended for ages 7 and up, and the weight limit on Moon Shoes is 130lbs or 58.9 kg, so they are not meant for most adults.
