ABSTRACT:
A pair of elevating structures to be worn on the feet, each of the structures comprising a ground contact unit to which a vertically separated foot receiving unit is joined to form a unitary structure. The ground contact unit has a horizontal base plate from which rear, side, and front walls extend upwardly to form a hollow structure, a portion of these walls extending further upward in the form of a hollow tower on the rear portion of the unit to which tower the foot receiving unit is joined. The tower extends under the rear half of the foot receiving unit so that the weight of the wearer is centered over the tower and transferred from the tower to the ground contact unit. The forward part of the foot receiving unit is cantilevered from the tower and forms an open area between the forward portion of the foot receiving unit and the lower part of the ground contact unit. The foot receiving unit has semi-flexible walls and means to close the walls about the feet of the wearer. In one embodiment, the undersurface of the base plate is concave to provide edges for gripping the ground surface. In another embodiment, a pair of rollers are attached at the respective ends of the base plate, the rollers at the forward end of the base plate being positioned beyond the forward extension of the foot receiving unit.
