A Chinese company named Powershoes is now selling the 2nd generation of their motorized, exoskeletal footwear that apparently bestows bionic abilities on its wearer.
Call us crazy, but we'll pass on trying these things out; if their engineers spent as much attention to safety as their marketers did to writing product copy, the bionic users are going to be in some bionic trouble:
We are the manufacturer of POWERSHOES (some people also called it as Flyjumper, Powerizer, Powerskip, etc) We have modern production lines and passed the accreditation of ISO9001. Our powershoes have passed the CE authentication and the present yearly production capacity is 1000,000piars.
A thousand hundred! That's a lot.

I wanted to buy 50 pairs of these and I could not get one person to call me back... Marketing really sucks... Plus I think they are being made in Korea not China.
I don't think that these things are motorized. They're human-powered. See the big springs?
million anyone?
looking to by some of these?
email me. I'm in the US.
