These are not just for young kids - great leg and core workout
I just got these last night as an early birthday present for myself. I wasn't sure what to expect. There are a few youtube videos I watched that made these look like a lot of fun, but most people using them in the videos looked a lot younger than me. So, I spent a little time figuring out the straps and clasps. It took me a few minutes but I got it. Then I put my feet and and tried to stand up. I couldn't stand up from the floor so I had to take them off, sit on a chair and put them back on. Much easier to stand up from a chair. The first step was tentative. I was afraid I might fall over. But, these shoes/boots are amazingly supportive and well balanced. I immediately walked and bounced around the house easily. This morning I took them outside and shot a video so you can see how easy they are to use.
This is money well spent. I will definitely use these a lot. My foot is a size 6 and the small fits perfectly. I wore long socks in these and bounced, walked and jogged for about 20 minutes with no blisters or sore spots. I'll see how my muscles feel tomorrow. You definitely get a leg and core workout. I'm already looking forward to using these again tomorrow.
By the way, these are definitely not just for young kids. Have fun and enjoy!
