ABSTRACT:
A reversible hiking shoe heel-and-toe lift attachment is capable of being deployed on the heel of a hiking shoe for assisting a hiker in ascending a steep grade and on the toe of the hiking shoe for assisting the hiker in descending the steep grade. The lift attachment includes a support platform, a flexible confinement wall, and a flexible elastic strap. The support platform is inclined or wedge-shaped in a section taken through the platform along a longitudinal vertical plane extending between front and rear ends of the platform. The wedge-shaped or inclined platform is greater in height at the rear end than at the front end. The confinement wall is attached to and extends along and above the periphery of the support platform at the opposite sides and rear edges thereof for confining either the heel or toe of a hiking shoe when either the heel or toe is placed upon the support platform. The elastic strap is attached adjacent to opposite forward ends of the flexible confinement wall so as to form a loop capable of being stretched away from the support platform and confinement wall and correspondingly over the front or rear of a hiking shoe when either the heel or toe of the hiking shoe is placed upon the support platform and surrounded by the flexible confinement wall.
