Let's see, what do I like about this brand. I will say they have super thick, high grade springs. They are about over 2 inches thick. At first I had a sour taste as other companies said their springs are thinner and more dense and some other proprietary blend. But after comparing them, and hearing less complaints about springs wearing out, I will have to say that this brand gets the least amount of people asking for replacement springs often. Well, you are getting more spring to start with so its probably why.
They do have a higher elevation but only taking about 2 inches higher than most of them but it is balanced so it doesn't keep you too high that you lose your balance any more than others. The cheap ones that mimic them are the ones that companies refer to that have a higher elevation that make you lose balance, not this brand. I think it has to do with the mechanics of the stilt. It does have 8 inches of compression depth which gives it a more solid feel. The majority of stilts have a 7 inch compression. They have an arched cariage which seems to add to the stability of the stilt. It probably adds to the unique way this stilt feels than any other brand. It seems to feel more linear. That is the best way I could describe it.
These differences are another thing that sets it apart. It is funny how competitors talk about their differences as if they were flaws. Idiot customers should realize they can only sell theirs by trash talking others.
I love their adjustable plates for the feet. Those with big feet won't have to worry about their feet flowing over. It is pretty light, coming close to the ones that cost in the thousand dollar range. It has ultra light aluminum plates for the feet. I cannot stand plastic foot beds. They even have a nylon strap and not those cheap plastic ones that you some still use. Because it has aluminum and not titanium, it can hold a higher charge. Although most people don't charge theirs due to the cost, you still have the capability of it. But, unless you are performing on Broadway doing some crazy dangerous stuff you practice with directors and trainers, you probably won't appreciate charging it just for recreational use.
...Because I had to buy 3 pairs until one fit.
