Calf building shoes? Anyone try it?

[musclehealth]

I saw in a shoe magazine an add for calf building shoes. They putt your foot on a certain angle so that it stressed your calves when you walk. Anyone try it?

I see how it would work for someone like me but not sure if it will build size? I have girlie calves!

They are fantastic! Though mine are mainly to build speed, and agility, they have in fact cute the hell out of my calves. With a proper weight program for size, you will not have a problem

IF my calves will grow then I will do anything. Ill will incoprporate a calf routine every other day with the shoes.

They most certainly do work.

I had the shoes back in high school and it helped me touch the rim, I was about 5' 6" at the time. They made my calves stronger, but didn't really notice any size difference (though I wasn't really caring about getting bigger calves, but rather jumping higher).

From what I remember, it did not improve my standing vertical jump. Only when I jumped off of one foot while I was running, like a lay-up, did I get any significant gains.

Right now, I just do calf raises (seated, standing, and donkey) and plyometrics once or twice a week. I don't jump as high as I used to (several ankle injuries have hindered that).
