"You guys have made me a better coach, teacher and trainer! My team has flipped its recored from last year, 4 - 8, to 9 - 3 this year and my point guard has doubled his output. Your program and skills work. I forward your site to middle school and AAU coaches in the Metro Atlanta area. Thanks for all that you do! Read more...
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.
Add 5 - 10 Inches to your vertical leap
Cut 2/10 of a second off your 40 yard dash!
Increase anaerobic power by 500%!
Includes Training Manual & CD!
As the force of impact occurs, the heel dips causing the calf muscles to stretch. The Strength Shoe builds the calf and stretches the Achilles tendon making any athlete more explosive. The Strength System can also increase your anaerobic capacity and your anaerobic power by 500%. We have 17 years of research and development in plyometric training shoes. Unlike others, the Strength Shoe is medically documented to be safe and effective.
With the Strength Shoe you get a super tight fit and the support of a full synthetic leather hi-top athletic shoe not some sock liner that doesn't breathe and makes your foot sweat. And there are no straps that can loosen during your workout, thus preventing injury. Our patented design safely limits the range of motion of the ankle, eliminating any chance of injury.
All weather indoor & outdoor non-marking rubber outsole.
All weather indoor & outdoor non-marking rubber outsole.
Molded metatarsal support to insure proper fit and durability while protecting the Plantar and Flexor regions of the foot.
The hi-top adds ankle support while our lightweight design allows you to avoid knee strain that causes the foreleg to swing out prematurely. Also, heavier shoes create the tendency to overstride when following a workout program.
Available in men's and women's full and half sizes.

The Effectiveness of The Strength Shoe in Enhancing Sport Specific Skills.
By Jim R Flarity, Ph.D., New Orleans, LA.
Director, Human Performance Laboratory
Tulane University Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences
This study analyzed the effectiveness of the Strength Shoe in improving sport specific variables.
Male athletes ages 18-22 yr of age (n=20) were studied to assess the effects of 9 weeks of training with the Strength Shoe. The manufacturer's training protocol emphasizing proper warm-up, cool-down and progression was followed. Subjects trained three days per week for approximately 45-60 minutes per session. The subjects were randomly divided into a control group (wearing the Strength Shoe). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine significant differences between the control and treatment group (p<.05).
Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in the following variables:
Relative anaerobic power (.19 W/kg-1 v. 1.22 W/kg-1)
Relative anaerobic capacity (.25 W/kg-1 v. .67 W/kg-1)
Vertical displacement (2.01 in v. 3.58 in)
40 yd. speed (-.06 v. 1.14)
No significant difference was found in upper and lower leg size, and lower back strength. In addition, this study found no significant difference in the report of injuries between the control and treatment groups. This study, which is experimental by nature is consistent with that of previously reported subjective data.
The results of this study strongly suggest that the use of the Strength Shoe is indeed and effective training tool in the development of anaerobic power.
