ABSTRACT:
A ground-working tool for attachment to the foot of the wearer includes a base plate for attachment against the underside of a wearer's shoe and a pair of ground-working hoe blades rigidly supported beneath the base plate. The hoe blades are generally flat in shape and are arranged in a common plane with one of the hoe blades being positioned beneath a forward portion of a base plate and the other hoe blade being positioned beneath a rearward portion of a base plate. Further, each hoe blade defines a forwardly-directed cutting edge and a reawardly-directed cutting edge which are parallel to one another and which extend transversely of the the base plate. When the tool is moved by the wearer's foot in a fore-and-aft scuffing action, soil loosened by the cutting edges is permitted to pass across the blades through the space defined between each blade and the base plate. The size and disposition of the blades relative to the base plate permit the wearer to comfortably stand or walk while wearing the tool without sinking into the ground. The tool further includes shoe-accepting sections adapted to accommodate any shoe within a range of shoe sizes.
