ABSTRACT:
A walking sole and carrier assembly comprises a pair of walking soles for mounting beneath rigid-bottomed footgear such as ski boots, and a detachable handle for joining the soles in side-by-side relationship to one another so that they form a carrier or boot tree. The lower tread face of each walking sole includes a planar rear surface and a planar front surface which defines an obtuse angle with respect to the rear surface. The junction between the front and rear surface is a straight line, which allows the wearer to rock abruptly from the rear surface to the front surface, simulating the natural action of a foot bending at the ball, and duplicating the toe flexing which would be performed by the back foot during ordinary walking, but which is prohibited by the rigid bottoms of the footgear.
