The story · 1992

The story of Boing Boots

Boing Boots strapped over your sneakers with bungee cords stretched between two plastic discs. Every step went boing, and every kid on the block lined up to try them. Walking was hard. Running was harder. Jumping off the porch steps was strictly forbidden and happened constantly, followed by a wobbly landing in the grass and a proud grin.

Fun fact

Kids measured their bounce height against the garage door with chalk, and every single mark was slightly exaggerated.
