(More customer reviews)If I could rate this product 20 stars I would. This product is made by the same company who made the furniture slides. These are the ones that you put under heavy furniture to be able to move it from place to place over carpet.
My boys and I used to put paper plates under our shoes and go "skating" on the carpet. We'd have a great time until the paper plates would crunch up under our shoes and our boys got tired of "shocking" each other with the static electricity. I always thought it would be great if someone would invent carpet skates.
Well lo and behold, here they are! I bought my boys each a pair and they have a great time with them. You strap them on to your athletic shoes and you skate on carpet. You are able to lift your feet in these and you can't shock each other with static electricity, much better than paper plate skates. They have toe grips so you don't slide out of them as easy, but I'm sure the smaller your feet the more likely that could happen which you would need to make sure to tighten the straps. These skates are recommended for 6 to adult. I will say I will be purchasing 2 more pair for my husband and I to skate with the boys, since sharing isn't an option. They are a lot of fun and it is a great workout. It helps the boys expel their energy when they are unable to go outside. They have liked these so much that video games are now a close second to their carpet skates. I have recommended these to a lot of my friends for their kids for presents. Living in NE, where we get a lot of snow and cold weather, carpet skates are a great way to have fun when it is too cold to go out. The price isn't bad either. It is half the price of video games and your kids (you, too) get exercise too.
