Thank you for buying & playing Swoongie Shoes!
Swoongie Shoes, made by the partnership known as Swoongie Company, is a unique portable combination of horseshoes, Bocce Ball, and ring toss. Some say it got its roots from Polish Horseshoes, others say it was designed in the style of washers. After years of work, we have perfected our hybrid game to what it is today. Perfect for kids, teens, and adults!

About pricing: From 2005 until the spring of 2009, we have kept the price the same at $25. Due to rising costs of materials and advertising, we had to increase the price slightly to $33. Note that similar style games sell for $40+ in stores!
Turnover time: 3 weeks from date of order.

We are currently contacting campgrounds about placing this game at their camp stores for you to purchase when you're camping and accidentally forgot your set at home!
