Yeah, I bought them back in the summer after 9th grade which was 8 years ago. I basically followed the workout chart that came with them (sets of things like squats, lunges, 360* jumps, dips, step ups) for the summer to try out for the basketball team. I made it and never used them since. I feel like the workout program would give the same results whether you were wearing the jumpsoles or not. It gave me only about 3-4 inches (it guarantees 6-10 I think?) on my jump but more importantly I feel it taught me how to jump well. I now have a pretty good jumpshot at the peak of my jump and I can really go up and pull down a rebound (I'm only 5'10) which I attribute to the summer of jumping. I've heard Air Alert is also good, but its just the routine with no extra equipment so I'm sure if you do the leg exercises regularly, you can gain the same results. Although some people will need to pay for equipment to make them motivated to do the workouts, so if that's you, then go buy the jumpsoles!

Air alert ranks as one the worst programs ever made.
jumpsoles are also garbage. don't buy into the hype all these companies are promoting. gains made using jumpsoles are via exercises you do, not the shoes.
if you really want to get a in depth knowledge on vertical jump, search up Vertical jump bible and visit these two sites:

Yes rangerid is correct.
