ABSTRACT:
A device to be worn beneath footwear or an unshoed foot for increasing stride and reducing fatigue while providing comfort and stability by absorbing the energy in a stride and by releasing that energy to user. The invention accomplishes this by providing a cantilevered leaf spring joined to but separated from a platform supporting the user. As the user enters a stride weight of the user flexes the spring to store the energy of contact with terrain. Then during the completion of the stride the spring releases that energy to the user.
