Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update Be advised: Next Generation does not ground properly at all What follows is a review of the first generation: When I first received the product, I installed the strap per the instructions and then tested the ground connection using a ground test meter. The product does appear to ground properly according to the meter, even though my regular (non-conductive) socks. The adhesive is very sticky, almost like super glue, so use caution when installing. I have installed the strap on my running shoes. I run on pavement and also grass. The ground connection is better on the grass (of course) but still works on pavement that is conductive such as concrete. After 10 days of use, the product is still attached but starting to come off the side of the shoe and showing some wear and tear on the bottom. The bottom is still attached firmly to the shoe and that's the important part, but I am not sure how long it will last. I retested the grounding with a meter after 10 days and at first thought it was not working. I was ready to return the product but decided to retest the next day. I cleaned off the bottom and retested and it is actually still grounding. It is important to consider that you must have good conductivity to properly ground. My testing shows the grounding working even through my regular socks but only after I have worn the socks for a while which would create enough perspiration to conduct. If I put on a fresh pair of regular socks, there would not be an immediate ground connection. As far as how effective the product is for grounding in general, I could not say, but can only report that the meter does indicate “grounded” while wearing the product and that was my main goal with this purchase. I'll try to update this review with further experience and we shall see how long it lasts. Update The bottom of the strap has come off on both sides twice now after about two months of use. I have been using superglue to reattach it. The bottom is deteriorating, not sure how much longer it will last. Update - strap has broken in two months and 10 days of use.
