Patent ID: 7374514

Claim:
A stilt for raising a walker above a floor comprising: a. a pair of approximately rectangular blocks of structural foam material serving as the core structure of the stilts, b. each block having an upper planer surface having a means to removably secure a boot to said upper surface, and an opposite ground engaging surface approximately the same size and shape as said upper surface, a post vertically extending from the upper planar surface, said post further including means for removably securing a lower leg portion of a user to said post in order to provide stability during use of said stilt, and 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, and d. 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 core blocks do not collide.
