Directions for Moon Shoes

Moon Shoes are an easy way for 8 to 12 year old kids to experience walking on the moon, or in another low gravity situation, without ever leaving Earth. The shoes are designed to be like a small trampoline that can be worn over the user's regular shoes and gives a bounce with every step. Moon Shoes need to be assembled before the first use and getting it right will make sure the shoes are safe to be worn and for bouncing.
