Abstract
A pair of boots each having an outer shell and an inner resilient liner are each contoured to fit at the juncture between a person's foot and leg. The shell and liner of each contoured boot have extended ends that are folded over each other, and secured in the folded position to the person's leg. A support member, attached to the front of the shell, in turn provides for inverted suspension of the person from an independent support member, and a loop attached to the front of the shell extends to contact the back of the person's leg to give torque free suspension to a person wearing the boots.
