Crazy fantasy or actual product … or both

Do you remember that ad for some insurance company that was sort of about The Future, and opened with shots of people running around on this big weird springy stilt-shoes? Well here it is.

And more to the point, those weird spring stilt-shoes, to my surprise, are not a goofball ad agency creation of the nutty world to come. They are, apparently, real. They’re called 7 Leagues Boots.
Who buys these?

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

I’d consider buying a pair. I’d also be interested in the Wingsuit: http://bobandsylvia.com/WINGSUIT.htm
