Toys and Games Reviews of Purple Moon Shoes
Customer Review: Cheaply made and hard to put together...
Summary: 1 Stars
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!Customer Review: One of the best garage sell buys ever!! I love them!!!

I'm 28 and just found a pair at a [...] They are super fun and quite the workout. My husband and I love to see who can jump higher. They don't work well on stairs but then again we are old enough we really should know better. Our nieces and nephew ages 5,6,9 & 10 all love to come over and bounce around. I agree with the other posts that they are hard to walk in. We also had a hard time at first standing up in them. But after a few falls onto the couch and help we got the hang of it and as long as you jump everywhere they work great.

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.
Customer Review: Not as great as I hoped they would be

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.Customer Review: My Son Expected More

I tried to explain, ignore the advertising on the box, but he was too excited. He is 6 years old and it was a sad moment when he tried to walk around lugging these big hard plasic shoes around. They are very large and hard to manage. They do have a bounce effect but not much fun if the boy just stands there. I would have liked them better if they had a softer/rubber bottom so his efforts wouldn't mare my wood floors. They are now in the closet, we'll try them again next year in hopes he can manage them better.
