ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein an accessory removably attachable to the underside of a boot of the type which, when worn on the foot of an individual users, locks the users ankle within the boot, whereby the boot's underside is locked in a fixed position relative to the users ankle. The boot accessory includes an accessory body having a top side, an underside and an outer periphery and means for removably attaching the accessory body to the boot so that its top side confronts the boots underside, whereby to cause the user to walk on the underside of the accessory body rather than the boot. At the same time, the accessory body is constructed such that its underside will resiliently deform under the weight of a user without causing its top side to do so. In this way, the underside of the accessory body is able to flex relative to its top side and thus conform to irregular or inclined surfaces while its top side remains in a fixed position relative to the underside of the users boot and therefore the users ankle, making it more comfortable for the user to walk on irregular or inclined surfaces and safer to walk on stairs.
