Jumpsoles Jump & Speed Training System 5.0 Mens Large Black

These are much better than the competitor which is a complete shoe as opposed to an attatchment for existing shoes. These provide a more stable base than the complete shoe and fit great on your favorite pair rather than have to tie them up. Also seem to be made very sturdy. I wear them on my nightly walks with my dog. Turns a walk into a little bit of exercise.

After two training sessions with these, muscles I didn't think I had in my lower legs were sore. All the machines in the gym can't produce the soreness I got from using these Jumpsoles. I feel the size of my muscles growing after only a weeks worth of training. I recommend this to anyone willing to put in the work necessary to substantiate the purchase.

I had an older pair of these from nearly 15 years ago and I remember the older version fitting and feeling better than this version.....its like the platform is too long on this version plus the straps are a little too short....I'll make it work but its a disappointment

I am thirteen years old and want to play basketball for my highschool next year and since i am a big man i thought it would be nice to jump higher, because i have whiteboy syndrome. i used these everyday with the guideline they give you and i got from touching the backboard to the bottom of the rim, IN JUST ONE MONTH!!!

My son loves them, we just wish they came with extra straps. His broke the 3rd time wearing them.

I've had them for less than a month and my vertical has increased alot. And also I play alot of volleyball, and now I'm spiking over alot of blockers.

Frontal platform shoes can't possibly work; wearing them is no different than standing in normal training shoes and raising your heels off of the ground. When wearing the platform shoes, your center of gravity will move forward, and your weight will be centered over the balls of your feet. In addition, you have to accommodate your movements to account for the clunky blocks on your feet; the Jumpsole base is a lot bigger than normal shoes, and that ruins your proprioception. Look at yourself in a mirror from the side while wearing normal shoes, then raise your heels off the ground, and while wearing the platform shoes. There is no difference with your heels off the ground, Jumpsoles or not. The improvements come from the workouts and exercises that most trainees were not doing.

All I know is my grandson did use them. So I' fine with this purchase.
