Don't ask me how I managed to hear about these shoes? But has anyone tried them out and have comments to make about them.

Reminds me of George from Seinfeld trying to sell his Vertical Displacement shoes.

These shoes are awesome good fun. I tryed them out at the fitness expo at Darling Harbour a few years back. I bounced around the expo a few times scaring the life out of people.

I've had a pair of these for over a year and have found them to be great at reducing impact of running. I hadn't run regularly for over 15 years because everytime I started, after a few weeks or so my back would hurt too much. I've run in Kangoo Jumps approximately 3 x per week over last 13 months and have gotten into better cardiovascular shape than I've been in for a long time. They look funny, and that's why I believe more people don't buy them. Also, it's healthy and normal to be skeptical and that keeps many from trying I'm sure.

Don't know if you get this message but I had a pair and I highly recommend them and would like to start a kangoo jump running group, yeah you will look funny but for someone like me in 42, four knee operations, I can whacik them on and run forever.
