It is the thing you put the grail pair in - the one you actually care about - so that it stops being footwear on a shelf and starts being the object people look at when they walk in.

A cylindrical magnet, supplied with the stand, sits down inside the shoe against the inside of the upper toward the heel. You raise the shoe up into the opening until you feel the field take hold - a little over half an inch below the arm - and let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eSo the shoe hangs from above rather than being pushed up from below. That is worth knowing, because it means the magnet goes \u003cem\u003einside\u003c\/em\u003e the shoe, not under the sole, and it means the shoe finds its own level once the field has it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-levitating-shoe-display-stand-magnetic-levitation-shoe-stand\/06_led_arc_detail.jpg\" alt=\"Close detail of the glowing white acrylic arc inside the black levitation stand with the sole of a plain white sneaker floating just above it\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;padding:26px;background:#f2f5f9;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe part other listings skip: your shoe has to be in the weight window\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eMagnetic levitation has a ceiling and, less obviously, a floor.

We would rather tell you that than print a confident figure we cannot stand behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eWhat to do about it: weigh the pair you want to float. A light running shoe or a canvas low-top sits comfortably in range. A heavy work boot, a thick-soled hiker or anything with a steel shank almost certainly does not. If your pair lands near either end of that range, message us before you order and we will confirm the rating on the unit we ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-levitating-shoe-display-stand-magnetic-levitation-shoe-stand\/07_weigh_your_shoe.png\" alt=\"Panel over a photo of the empty black levitation stand: weigh the shoe first, there is a minimum as well as a maximum, light runners and canvas low-tops are fine, heavy boots and thick hikers are not, no shoe is included\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eIt turns, and the light changes color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eA small fan inside the body pushes air through vents to rotate the shoe slowly in the opening, so the display shows the profile, then the sole, then the other side.

Then you are finding the balance point by hand - the spot where the shoe sits level and stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eOwners are consistent and cheerful about this: it is fiddly the first time, and then it is not. If you want a product that floats a shoe the instant you take it out of the box, this is the wrong product.

An electromagnet in the top arm holds the shoe from above and there is nothing in the gap but air - you can see straight through it to the wall behind. Nothing touches the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eIs a shoe included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eNo. You float your own. Every photograph on this page shows a plain unbranded sneaker standing in for whatever pair you want on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eWill my shoe be too heavy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eMaybe, and it is worth checking before you buy. This hardware has a working weight window with a floor as well as a ceiling - too heavy and it will not lift, too light and it will not hold the position. Put the shoe you have in mind on a kitchen scale first. If it lands near either end of the range in the specification above, ask us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eWhere does the magnet go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eInside the shoe, resting against the inside of the upper toward the heel - not under the sole and not stuck to the outside. You then raise the shoe until you feel the field catch it, and let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eHow hard is it to set up the first time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003ePlan on a few minutes. You set the force knob to suit the weight, put the magnet in, and then find the point where the shoe sits level and holds. Owners consistently describe the first float as fiddly and every float after that as quick. This is normal for magnetic levitation and it is not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eDoes it spin on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eA small fan inside the body blows air through vents to turn the shoe. Depending on how the shoe is balanced it may need a gentle push to get going, and it can be left stationary if you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eWill it fall if someone knocks the table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eIt can. The shoe is held in a magnetic field rather than clamped, so a firm knock can drop it. Stand it somewhere stable, away from the edge, and not somewhere small children can reach it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eCan I use it for something other than a shoe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eOwners float all sorts of things. The limits are the same either way: the object has to sit inside the weight window, it needs somewhere inside it to seat the magnet, and its weight needs to be reasonably centered rather than loaded to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"chigous","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44363080990807,"sku":"XWXG7O1S2V","price":188.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/0256\/1367\/files\/01_hero_floating_sneaker.jpg?v=1790641944","url":"https:\/\/chigous.com\/products\/levitating-shoe-display-stand-magnetic-levitation-shoe-stand-with-led-light","provider":"Secure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
