We asked our Mum On The Go Reviewer Gemma and her kids to check them out, here is what they thought. Erin has really enjoyed trying to jump as high as she could or over obstacles we had set up around the garden.

But as they are balanced on your feet, they make you feel like you are jumping higher and jumping around instead of walking. Made from durable plastic and featuring adjustable Velcro straps, kids can bounce around as they experience the amazing anti-gravity effect. Selected lines only, determined by size, weight or whether delivered direct from one of our suppliers. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. We did find that they are best worn with plimsol style trainers as those with larger feet and a thicker sole on their trainers are too wide.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. Not only can the Stay Active range help reduce screen time and time prevent a sedentary lifestyle, but keeping active can help improve overall mental wellbeing, balance, coordination and stamina, as well as social skills, self esteem and confidence. We recently announced that during 2022, we’re going to be working with Character UK and their fab Stay Active range – a selection of inclusive toys that can be enjoyed by the whole family together both indoors and outdoors, encouraging movement and keeping everyone active whilst creating some friendly inter-family competition! All told, I think Moon Shoes are a fun toy for kids who don’t have space for a trampoline in their back garden. With Moon Shoes, kids have incredible fun as they jump with anti-gravity effects while developing balance and coordination.

It’s the feeling that is really part of the fun aspect of them, though when you do jump into the air, if you lift up your feet, you can feel like you are really flying for a moment! I was desperate for Moon Shoes way back in the early 90’s, but the curse of a Winter birthday meant I never got any. Children may need help getting strapped into them and strapped out of them, just due to the awkward reach, but they are easy to get their shoes into and out of! As mentioned above Moon Shoes are of Character Options campaign to get kids to Stay Active this summer with a range of toys that can be used both inside and out.

You also have to add extra bands or remove some, depending on the weight of the person who is bouncing. Once our shoes were put together, the kids were pretty interested in something described as a trampoline and was also space themed. 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. Each month we will be testing some of the Character Options Stay Active products and putting them through their paces as a family.

Moon Shoes came out, originally, around the 1950s as an effort from Nickelodeon to create toys – and were made of metal. Moon shoes can be seen in the film Back To The Future when the main protagonist Marty McFly is walking to the diner through the town square. Once you’ve constructed them, they won’t fit in the box they came in, so you can’t really assemble them ahead of time for birthday gifts etc. 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.Made of quality, high-density plastic, with adjustable VELCRO brand nylon closure straps, Moon Shoes feature a self-centring shoe platform with non-skid grip surface for sure-footed, high-bouncing thrills. The kids never stop laughing when playing with them and as unfortunately myself and my hubby are both bit too heavy we are both quite jealous. They can also be used indoors, when the weather isn’t as great, making them a year round toy that will bring a bit of fun to exercising and will tire out whoever wears them. The Moon Shoes are made of quality, high-density plastic, with adjustable VELCRO brand nylon closure straps.

Although these are effectively plastic buckets stuck to your feet, our daughter was very happy that Santa managed to bring her these this year. No color choices were given so I expected them to be the color as shown in the picture but they were not.

Physical sensory toys, just like Moon Shoes, can support the development of motor skills, balance and coordination. The Moon Shoes come with a bag full of elastic which first needs to be put into place and the instructions are a bit on the tricky side, so I ended up using a YouTube demonstration which I found much easier to follow.
