I'm going to reserve comment until everyone else does. |

You're joking me...*gag* They're going to try and own with those dumb things. I can't wait until someone tries to stall with those on. |

I don't disagree with the concept in the least, it's just that no one's seemed to implement it properly.
These things? Clunky, hard to handle, and the springs are way too weak (the way those guys run is mostly pretending, they're not actually bouncing really). Also they look like they can snap at any moment, being made of cheap plastic and all.
There are Superball shoes out there but they only go up to size 7 and all they seem to be is just another shoe with a touch more bounce.
Is there anyone out there who can make shoes with springs powerful enough to actually bounce an adult? |

THAT is more like what I had in mind. Those put a real spring in your step. Dangerous as all hell, naturally.

hard theyre like heelys.......takes a little getting used to and once you finally start jumping its a little hard to stop....not thats it fun its literally hard to stop. Run on a trampoline but take LONG strides and thats basically what it feels like but your 4 feet higher and can stop without falling. |
