Moon Shoes??

My daughter wants Moon Shoes that are currently being advertised on T.V. for X-mass. Now I am getting old and lost a few brain cells over the years, but was'nt there some Moon Shoes back in the 70's???

Moon boots. Hideous things, I guess they're still around. I don't know anyone who would wear them though...at least, not in public!

Do her a favor and don't buy those hideous boots for her. Moon SHOES on the other hand I remember and they were like mini trampolines for your feet, I though those were cool.

I wanted them to but I think they had a really low weight limit on them, I was a big kid, not fat but very tall so I had a bit of weight and that was all my parents needed for an excuse.
