January 15, 1997 RE: D.A.M.P.S. To whom it may concern, In reviewing the latest prototype of the D.A.M.P.S. shoe, it is evident that the Advanced Magnet Suspension/Propulsion technology of B&B Technologies has produced a superior product in the shoe wear industry. The effort needed to create this product, that was envisioned a few years ago by Jeff Brown, had been diligently supervise, and has resulted in his revolutionary idea coming to fruition. The prototype has resolved the bulky heel problem, with protrusion of the recoil hardware, and the biomechanical benefits are still present. The number of patients seen the the United States for heel pain/injury is increasing with the problem seen in ten year old males and females with calcaneal apophysitis to the "baby boomer" generation facing an increased incident of heel spurs, bursitis and fascitis as they refuse to slow down, and continue to exercise and participate in sports. There is also the benefit to the sufferers of certain low back problems and the potential to reduce work related injury and down time. I believe this system will benefit all shoe wearers to some degree and it is evident the other shoe manufacturers are attempting to address the heel impact problem on most of their models. I am available to answer any questions regarding the biomechanics of the shoe.
