> However, you'd need awesome shoes with good ankle support for landing those jumps. How does that work? The energy (force times distance) your legs can impart pushing the ground up, must match the force time distance the ground will impart on your feet while you land. So, if any of that is significantly different from the dynamics in Earth's gravity, the same effect should matter on liftoff and not only on landing. I assume the biggest risk on landing is that you risk losing balance, is that what you need better shoes, so you're more tolerant to a bad foot position on landing?
