Cool Foot Gear SPLURGE
Kangoo Jumps: $240
These super-fun shoes allow you to jump like on a trampoline, but just with a pair of shoes. Though difficult to get on at first, they are easy to use and allow a person to jump and challenge the legs without the harsh joint impact of plyometrics.

If you prefer to run, the Vibram 5 Finger shoes may work for you. These toe-sock type of shoes help the foot move more naturally and diminish “heel-strike,” which can cause foot injuries. They take some getting used to, and not all feet do well in this style.
