Trainning Shoes or Jump Soles?

[xblowmeawayx]

I want to train for high jump and i can't decide if i want to get training shoes or jump soles. Last year I beat the Jr. High high jump record and I want to beat the High School record this year. Any suggestions?

jumpsoles are a waste of money and unless you have exceptional strength or do very VERY low intensinty exercises you will more than likely injure yourself with them. the also lead to shin splints and heel spurs. not to mention they put all of the stress on the calfs which play under 10% in jumping. I would highly recommend kelly baggets vertical jump bible.
