Recovering athletes
Prototypes for springed boots were developed in the 20th century in Eastern Europe. The original purpose for the invention was a recreation device for athletes recovering from leg injuries.
1990s redesign
This concept was redesigned in the 1990s by Swiss entrepreneur Denis Naville, who focused on improving comfort, design, performance, and later on a bunch of fitness programs were created as Kangoo Jumps Fitness Programs. Naville's first model, KJ-1, was presented at the SISEL Sport Fair in Paris, 1994. Since then, the boots have been developed for use as recreational sport devices, available in both adult and junior sizes (KJ3 Turbo, KJ4 Turbo). New Products have come since then. KJ4TT introduced Twin Turbo in 1998. First model for children was named KJJ-A Junior in 2001. With the new century KJ4-XR was presented providing Extra rebounding (XR) and several new technologies (2003). A year later, first Pro model appeared, intended for proficiency athletes and heavy people.
