Kangoo Jumps

Kangoo Jumps are a type of spring-loaded footwear.

Prototypes for springed boots were developed in the 20th century in Eastern Europe. The original purpose for the invention was as a recreation device for athletes recovering from leg injuries. This concept was redesigned in the 1980s in Canada by Swiss engineer Denis Naville, who focused on improving comfort, design, and performance.

Naville's first model, KJ-1, was presented at the International Sports Sales Show in 1994. Since then, the boots have been developed for use as recreational sport devices, available in both adult and junior sizes. Naville continues to work on the Kangoo Jumps, with planned improvements to comfort in the current boot and the addition of a high performance boot to the product line.

One of the leading trainers of Kangoo Jumps is Mario Godiva Green[1]
