• Idaho State University report by Ingrid Antonson and Sherry MacMillan: Effects of Exerlopers Versus Conventional Running Shoes on Oxygen Consumption During Submaxial Treadmill Exercise -
  CONCLUSION: "Exercising in Exerlopers demonstrates significantly higher oxygen consumption in comparison to exercising at the same speed in conventional running shoes.... The greatest merit of the shoe perhaps lies in the possibility of reducing joint stress."

• The New York Times: A New Skatelike Shoe Gives Runners a Lift
  "Running in an Exerloper takes substantially more energy than does jogging in regular flat-soled running shoes. You aren't likely to be competitive in a road race wearing the Exerlopers, because the springing motion slows you down. But the footwear is apt to give you a better workout in a shorter amount of time."

• Roy Stephen M.D. Specialist in Sports Medicine: Exerlopers Evaluation.

• The Toronto Sun: Dig Those Crazy Feet
  "I was outward-bound along Yonge Street and within two blocks, my heart was pounding, my thighs burning and my arms a-swingin'. Yet I was having a great time loping along rhythmically.... I felt relaxed, tall and strong.... For the first time, running was less of a grind and actually - dare I say it? - fun!"

• The New American Heritage Dictionary lists Exerlopers as a new word.

• The Town and Village (New York): Exercise in the '90s has become a family affair
  "Exerlopers, the new low-impact way to run, may just be the most exciting innovation in exercise since the hula-hoop. These comfortable boots use a one-of-a-kind spring device that makes running more enjoyable and less harmful to knees and ankles."

• The Montreal Gazette: Certified Genius Invents a Brighter Future.

• The Toronto Globe and Mail: These Boots Are Made For Exercising
  "...Before long I was walking normally, then running on the spot, then racing down the office corridor, and finally taking off outdoors along the sidewalk. In only 15 minutes I had taught myself how to exerlope, I was hooked. The boots provide all the pleasures of jogging while cutting out the one big negative - wear and tear on a runner's joints and bones."

• Florida Today: For Those Who Like To Sweat...
  "Not quite skates and not quite running shoes, the Exerloper can be used by serious runners for cross-training purposes and spare the torture of pavement pounding."

• City Sports: Exerloperizing
  "Designed for runners and walkers who want to save their joints, Exerlopers are the newest entry into the low-impact, high-cardiovascular workout market....As shaky as Exerlopers may initially appear, they are actually surprisingly stable. In fact we loped in a pair during a recent, hail-infested storm and remained upright; the (full length) carbon rubber soles provided great traction with no slippage."

• The Herald Republic (WA): Futuristic Running Shoes Put Spring in Your Step
  "The latest thing in exercise gear is the fantastic, futuristic Exerloper, a boot with a spring-hinged sole designed to eliminate the joint-jolting effect of running. Exerlopers,...can be used on any surface, indoors or out, that is normally used for running."

• The Rocky Mount Telegram (NC): Exerlopers Put Spring Into your Daily Workout
  "One reason for the appeal of Exerlopers may be the opportunity for some runners to enjoy their sport again....Even better, those who prefer to exercise at home will appreciate that loping can be done indoors. Simply slip on the boots and jog in place for 20 minutes or so, carpeting being the preferable surface over slippery linoleum, or scratch-prone woods."

• Northwest Florida News: Currents
  "Dr. Gregory Lekhtman has reinvented the running shoe - sort of.... They look a bit like in-line skates - except that instead of wheels, they have looping springs attached to the soles."
