Are you or your little boy a sock skater skidding across the hardwood floor, tiles or linoleum in your favorite socks? Do you stop just short of the carpet for fear of landing on your face? Well, those days are now over! Your floor skating is no longer limited to smooth, hard surfaces. Fun Slides Carpet Skates are similar to sliding with socks on a hardwood floor. Carpet Skates' plastic base allows the user to glide across the living room floor. The skates are equipped with a foam foot grip with an adjustable hook-and-loop closure. We have them available in two colors, RED and BLUE. With Fun Slide Carpet Skates, you can turn your carpeted house into a gigantic skating rink to improve fitness for your little boy and the whole family.

Kids' fitness levels are dragging. Only one in four American schoolchildren gets an adequate amount of physical activity each day. The number of overweight children is rising rapidly.

Almost 13 percent of 6 to11 year olds are obese. Importantly, children who don't get at least 35 to 60 minutes of walking or other exercise each day can also miss their chance to build the strong bones they will need later in life.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) reminds all kids: "Get up, get out and get moving!" Many kids need a lifestyle change from sedentary to physically active. Don't sit in front of a computer or TV for hours. Instead, get some exercise every day. Bones grow in size and strength during childhood. The bone mass you gain through physical activity while you're young helps determine your skeletal health throughout life.

In addition to building stronger bones, regular physical activity outdoors and indoors also strengthens the heart and lungs, our Carpet Skates will help your little boy lower blood pressure, improve muscle strength and flexibility, reduce stress and depression, help control weight and improve his sleep.

Childhood is a critical time for developing lifestyle habits that support bone health. Osteoporosis drains away bone's calcium. So young people should put deposits into their "bone banks" of at least 1,300 mg of calcium each day. Calcium comes in dairy foods. These include milk, yogurt and cheese, and green, leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

Fun Slides are made by a company that manufactures friction-resistant plastic gliders for moving heavy furniture. In fact, after hearing that many of their customers were goofing around on their furniture gliders, the company decided to make their product in the shape of feet.

You'll have hours of fun sliding along the carpet in these friction resistant Carpet Skates (TM). A safe new alternative to ice skating, these Carpet Skates provide a gliding sensation that's ideal for learning fundamental hockey skills or balancing techniques for in-line skating and skateboarding.

To secure the Carpet Skates to the foot, there are hook and loop straps.The straps adjust to fit feet of children six years old and everyone up to Adults with a size 15 foot!

CAUTION: It is up to the wearer to use caution and common sense in regards to their safety. The Carpet Skates are fun for gliding around on but as with any skate, you must be careful.
