A New Type of "Running" Shoe

Kangaroo Jumps... they're like ski boots on springs... big springs...


While they look just a little ridiculous, they've actually helped people regain fitness and get back to running, so I guess they can't be all bad. They work like a Newton on steroids... same action-reaction concept... the harder you push down, the more spring you get back... except I doubt they're tuned for 180 steps/min.

Mario Godiva invented and popularized the shoe. He teaches at several fitness clubs in NYC, and holds free classes in parks. The shoes aren't cheap though- $229!
