How they work

The Shock Force Ones use unique technology that safely allows the user to conduct electricity. The shoes do this by using a harmless, ultra-low current to pull the electricity from the shoes to the conductive surface the user makes contact with, causing visible, small electric zaps.

The ankle band connects you to the shoe, allowing you to use the power of the shoes. To connect, just press the connector from the shoe onto the stud until it clicks into place. You'll do this every time you put the shoes on and take them off.

The surface you're standing on changes how strong the shoes are. Stand on something highly conductive like concrete and the shock is many times stronger than standing on something insulating like plastic. That's why surface choice matters so much.

Surfaces

Shock Force Ones are designed for indoor use only. The surface you stand on affects how powerful the shocks are — see the recommended list below.

Outdoor surfaces are prohibited because they conduct electricity very efficiently and pose a risk of a very strong shock. Wet or damp environments risk water damage.

Safety rules

Please read every one before switching your shoes on.

• Never touch the bottom metal plate of the right shoe to any part of your body while they are powered on.
• Never touch a surface you're standing on — this would result in a strong shock.
• Do not shock other people without consent.
• Do not use on or near anyone with an implanted or worn medical device (pacemaker, metal implants, defibrillator, insulin pump, hearing aid, etc.), a heart condition, a seizure disorder, or reduced sensation — or anyone who cannot understand and respond to the shock.
• For adult use only. Keep away from children.
• Always switch the shoes off when not in use, and store them in a dry, cool place away from moisture.
• Don't shuffle or slide your feet while wearing them — it damages the wire underneath the shoe.

Charging

Charge your Shock Force Ones with a USB-C cable, using a standard 5V USB adapter. Do not use fast chargers or damaged cables. A full charge takes 20 minutes.

Battery safety

• Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface — never on a bed, sofa, carpet, or near flammable materials.
• Do not charge unattended.
• Stop using and charging immediately if you notice swelling, heat, an unusual smell, smoke, visible damage, or if the shoes have been exposed to liquid — and contact support.

Before your first charge

Test your shoes before charging them. If you get no results, charge for 10 minutes and try again. This lets you get used to your shoes at a lower power before going to a full charge.

Putting them on & first shock

1. Check your surroundingsMake sure you are standing up and not making contact with anything except your clothes.
2. Put the ankle band onPlace it firmly around your ankle, with the connector facing away from your leg.
3. Put on both shoesWith the wire from the shoe still disconnected, put your shoes on as normal.
4. Connect the wireAttach the black connector which comes out of the right shoe onto the ankle band by pressing it directly on the ankle band's metal receiver.
5. Power onPush in the button on the back of the right shoe using the toe of your left shoe. Make sure it's pressed all the way in. Your shoes are now on.
6. Ease into your first shockFor your first time, hold something conductive — a fork or spoon works great — in your hand and touch that to the object you're shocking. You should see clear, visible zaps and feel it slightly in your hands, depending on the surface you're standing on and the conductivity of what you're holding.
7. Work your way upOnce you're comfortable using a conductive tool, you can progress to shocking objects directly. We recommend using your knuckle when starting out as you don't feel it as much.

Turning off & removing

1. Switch offUse the toe of your left shoe to switch the shoe off.
2. Pop off the ankle band wireHold the connector base on the band steady and pull the connector head off. It can be quite sturdy, so don't try to pull the wire to take it off quickly.
3. Remove the shoes carefullyBe careful not to accidentally press the button while taking them off.
4. Slide the band offTake the ankle band off and store it in the shoes.

Troubleshooting

It takes a little time to learn what floors work best, where's stronger and weaker, and what your favorite things to do with them are. If nothing is happening, work through this list in order.

1. Check the buttonMake sure the power button is pressed all the way in.
2. Check your surfaceMake sure you're standing on an approved indoor surface — carpet, wood or bathroom tile (strongest).
3. Check what you're shockingMake sure you're touching something conductive, like a metal surface.
4. Then try chargingCharge them for 15 minutes — the green charging light should show — then re-try them.
5. Still nothing?Contact support and we'll help you quickly.

Emergency procedures

If a shock malfunction occurs

Examples like a strong shock coming from the ankle band are incredibly rare, but if anything happens which shouldn't, follow this guidance:

• Press the shoe button off with your left foot.
• If unable to do so, disconnect the ankle band, which disconnects you from the shoes.
• Carefully take them off, making sure to avoid touching the metal plate at the bottom of the right shoe.

If there is smoke, heat, or fire risk

If you notice smoke, heat, a burning smell, battery swelling, or any fire risk during use, storage, or charging: stop use immediately, disconnect the charger if it was charging, and move the shoes to a safe place outside, away from any flammable materials. Then contact support for guidance.

If you damage your shoes

Do not attempt to repair them yourself. Contact our customer support team for assistance.

Maintenance & care

• Wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, dry or mildly damp cloth.
• Avoid water exposure.
• Store in a dry, cool place away from moisture.
• Always make sure the shoes are switched off after use.
