Abstract:
1. A pair of asymmetrical stilts for raising a walker above a floor comprising: a. Each stilt comprising an approximately rectangular core block of structural foam material serving as the core structure of each stilt, b. each rectangular core block being one piece comprising a planer upper surface having a means to removably attach a boot to said upper surface, and an opposite ground engaging surface approximately the same size and shape as said upper surface, c. said upper surface having edges proximal to the boot heel, toe, inner side, and outer side, and said ground engaging surface having edges essentially parallel to the corresponding upper surface edges, and vertical surfaces extending between said upper edges and lower corresponding edges, whereby when the pair of stilts is worn by a walker, the walker's stance is normal, when standing his legs are in normal vertical alignment, and when walking said interior edges and surfaces of said rectangular core blocks do not collide, d. said ground engaging surface further having an extending ground engaging surface extending outwardly from the outer edge and forwardly from the heel edge toward the toe edge and coplanar with said ground engaging surface of said rectangular core block, thereby adding lateral stability to the stilt in the outward direction.
