POP OUT SANDAL SKATES Girl Sz 3-4 Wood Platform Wheels!

POP OUT SANDAL SKATES Girl Sz 3-4 Wood Platform Wheels! - eBay (item 310015982046 end time Jan-25-08 18:25:48 PST)

These wooden-sole sandals are skates. They come in the original box which says, "Pop Out Sandal Skate, Bottom sole made of hard wood, Item No. SSR 890 Size: 4 Fit for 3&4."

Instructions for Use
1. For Skating:
To pull the locking lever button on side of shoe body, the wheels drop out automatically like landing gears for your skating.
2. For Walking:
To pull the locking lever button on side of shoe body by one hand and push wheels back in, release button, all wheels locked inside of the shoe body for your walking.

The uppers are in great shape. There are a few scuffs and scratches on the wooden sides and insoles. One of the pop out buttons has some green rust, but still works just fine. It's fun to pull out the button and have the wheels drop down.
