As of October 20, 2010 the manufacturer of Strength Shoes is no longer producing their famous plyometric jumping shoes. Yes you heard right, the Strength Shoes are no longer being manufactured. The good news is. . . a similar product that we feel is even better than the Strength Shoes is now available on our site called the Katapult Jumping Shoes. They work exactly like the Strength Shoes and produce the same results; HOWEVER, they are more durable, more high-tech, consist of higher quality material, are better looking and come with a better training program. And no, we aren't just saying this because the Strength Shoes aren't around anymore. There's a reason they aren't around anymore. A better product hit the market and they couldn't find a way to compete. We proudly recommend the Katapults by ATI Training!
Strength Systems, Inc. created the concept of frontal platform shoes.
In regular shoes, 70% of the body's weight rests on the heel. Therefore, the calf muscles exert
little effort in supporting the body. In Strength Shoes, the heel is eliminated, causing the calves
to support 100% of the body's weight. This overload works the calves and Achilles tendons with a
force equal to 6 times the body's weight upon impact.
