Circus Stilts
Actoy stilts are great product for circus skills teaching programs. They come in 4 sizes so that you can fit any size child or adult. The stilts have a unique design that allows the foot bed to pivot so you can use a normal walking stride with your toe and heel moving up and down as you walk. This makes the stilts very easy to use and learn. They are great for after school sports and other children recreational programs. The green and yellow stilts are lighter duty, than the orange and red stilts. Stilt extentions come with the fiberglass pole and a rubber foot, they are 49cm long (yellow stilts cannot be used with extentions). To fit the stilts meaure ( with shoes on) from the ground to below the knee cap, this is where the middle of the knee strap should go, (or up to 2 inches lower).

Instructions and Precautions
This product is intended for children with adult supervision by a
parent or circus arts professional. All persons involved are expected

WARNING
Stilts can be dangerous and, if used improperly or without
adequate safety precautions, may result in injury. Review the
following safety tips and use them. Treat
stilts
with the same caution as you would using a unicycle, rola-bola or walking globe
1. Spotters
Beginners should always practice with a spotter who is a person to catch
you if you should start to fall. This person also helps you
stand up A spotter also walks along side of you.
2. Soft Surfaces
When you start to learn the stilts is should be done on a
tumbling mat or thick, padded carpet. Be carful learning on a
cement, wood, or linoleum floor as these surfaces csn be slippery
and hard ( if you fall - OUCH!). Soft grass is good to learn on if it is is not to soft and the stilts sink into the lawn
3. Footwear
One should always have appropriate, nonslip shoes when using sitls
globe. Gym, tennis or basket ball shoes are good. Wrist guards and knee pads used
in roller skating, offering wrist support, and helmets are
highly recommended.
4. Falls
If you start to fall down, sit down in the stilts so you have less distance to fall.
5. Don?t be overconfident
Stilts may seem like it is a easy prop to master. Beginners may
think they have mastered sitlts when they really have
not. Be sure not to be overconfident when learning the skills

My daughter had the yellow stilts and used them regularly for fun and a couple of parades before she outgrew them. We got her the red stilts and added the extensions. She loves them, and is looking forward to an even more birds-eye view in her next parade! The stilts are durable, comfortable, and easy for a child ages 9 or 10+ to put on themselves once they know how the straps work.

I have purchased a total of 15 pairs of stilts in various sizes. Most of them were fine and are so easy to walk in. One of the pairs of stilts were defective because the leg straps were attached backward but we were able to unscrew the strap and put it back on like all the other pairs. BUT... we also purchased extensions for yellow/orange. The orange extensions were fine, but we were not able to attach the extensions to one stilt of a yellow pair. It absolutely would not go in all the way and line up with the screw hole on ONE of the stilts. Then we could not get it out to put the regular stilt rod/tip back in. Because of that, we cannot use one of the pairs of yellow stilts at all OR one the extensions for that pair. We would appreciate it if you could replace one pair of yellow stilts AND extensions. ALL items were purchased with no discounts. We love RENEGADE and will continue to refer students and teachers to you. Looking forward to your reply. Cheryl Taylor

These stilts are loved by my students because it's just like walking, the foot rest pivots, and their 2 feet taller than normal. My only issue is that the Orange pair has lost is screw a few times and the Yellow pair the strap mechanism has come off a few times.

My students love these stilts because it's just like walking, as the foot rest pivots, and they are 2 feet taller with them on. My only issue is that the Orange pads near the knee straps have loosened screws that I've lost in the grass. The company Actoy in Denmark was able to send me replacement parts. Great customer service!
