I vaguely remember seeing some commercial that was set in "the future" (not sure if there were flying cars; no idea what the product being advertised was) where some unimportant guy in the background was wearing what I can now identify as Powerizers, just as ambience to establish that "this is the future". At the time, I had assumed the leg-gadgets to be an original idea by the advertising agency. Whatever they were actually selling, I said to myself, "Screw that, I want those foot-spring things!"
I wouldn't shell out 400 bucks for 'em, but I'd really like a chance to try them out. One of the major reasons I don't run/jog more often (the other, foremost one being laziness) is that I hate the impact stress on my legs and ankles, and it looks like this would be a great way to combat that.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
