Here are some typical comments from runners who have run in prototype
shoes with Power Bounce inserts in the midsoles: . .
Bill Tuszynski, Quakertown, PA, road runner, race director, and founder of the Bux-Mont Running Club . "The first time I wore shoes with Power Bounce
inserts was the day after a hard 10 mile training run. I was planning on doing an easy 3 miles but the shoes were so
comfortable and provided so much cushioning that I did 6 miles at 30 seconds/mile faster than I had originally intended. I
have an odd gait and the wrong shoes lead to knee and hip problems. I started on Power Bounce shoes while coming
off an injury and have been running freely since then. I've done three 10K races in Power Bounce shoes and have been
happy with them as racing shoes. I've been recommending them to all of my running friends." Bill puts out an excellent
newsletter for the Bux-Mont (Bucks-Montgomery County region of PA) runners that has a great race schedule, see link at bottom
of page. .
Carol Hansen Montgomery,
Ocean City, NJ, road runner
"I have been running and competing in the
Philadelphia area for 25 years but had run only one marathon - New York in 1985 after which I said 'never again.' However, several
years ago the Boston qualifying time for my age group was raised to a time that I thought I might be able to make. I qualified in Philadelphia in
2003 but was beginning to have an assortment of problems. The most limiting was arthritis in my left toes which caused pain
starting about 5 miles into a run and worsened. I was willing to try anything except surgery when I found out about Power
Bounce inserts. It is not an overstatement to claim that the cure was miraculous. The foot never bothered
me again and I was able to continue my training. My other problems (ITB band inflammation and sciatica) also remained under
control.
On April 18, 2005 I was the second of four women over 70 to
complete the Boston Marathon. Two weeks later I was first in my age group in the Philadelphia Broad Street Run."

Austin Shaffer,

Clare
Behrens, Hopkinton, MA, engineer and marathon runner .
“These
are definitely more comfortable than my favorite name-brand shoes without Power Bounce.” . .
Jerome McFadden, Marketing Manager, Bethlehem, PA, competitive indoor track runner .
“Power Bounce inserts were installed
in a pair of broken-down shoes … I now consider them to be resurrected …. I feel I get better rebound and therefore
faster times for the same effort…. I now use Power Bounce shoes whenever doing high-quality speed work” . .
Nancy Williams, Pen Argyl, PA, track and road runner .
“Shoes
with Power Bounce feel better and lighter ….when I first tried them for my track workouts, I didn’t
want to take them off”
