Attached to the base is a support which supports a heel support platform and a foot ball support platform. The semi-circular base and support have a generally diametrical axis and the heel support platform is inclined at an acute angle of 20.degree..+-.5.degree. with respect to the axis and the foot ball support platform is inclined at an acute angle of 30.degree..+-.5.degree. with respect to the axis. The user may employ two of such exercise shoes, one for each foot, then rocks back and forth on the shoes. The effect is to exercise, develop and toe the heel and toe flexors in the foot and calf muscles and the leg. Blood circulation to the lower leg is also stimulated.
