A friend of mine saw one girl running with this and told me about it:
Never heard or saw them before. Anybody ever tried them?
I am kinda tired of getting injured and currently looking for anything that can help. Maybe this is a good toy to have? (maybe not for interval training, but at least for doing plyos and slow long runs...)
Ankle looks locked down - unable to dorsiflex or plantarflex. Looks fun, but almost useless for my running, imho.

Sounds like you haven't really pushed it. I run all my races now in Kangoo Jumps (no, it is NOT Kangaroo Jumps). I haven't lost yet since I've taken to doing this. I'd bet anything that everyone will be racing in these within the next couple years.
