Abstract

Attachable and detachable footwear components are disclosed which contribute to the development of certain muscles and tendons in the lower body, including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, sartorius, plantaris, and the like. The disclosed footwear components are inflatable in some embodiments and made in the preferred embodiment of flexible elastomeric polymers. The disclosed components detach to and from the soles of common footwear commonly available in the market, and comprise a distal ball, a proximal ball, and some embodiments, one or more mid-balls. When affixed to standard footwear, the disclosed components destabilize the foot longitudinally and laterally, and plyometrically stress tendons and muscles in the legs of a wearer, toning and strengthening the wearer's legs with time.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to footwear, and more particularly relates to attachable and detachable athletic footwear components which intensify plyometric athletic benefit experienced by wearers.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]The present invention is an athletic improvement to standard footwear well-known and commonly available in the art. The soles of most commonly available athletic and casual footwear are largely planar in shape, and usually designed to rest flat on the ground or a walking surface during use.[0005]Recent advances in the art include shoes comprising a frontal platform conjoined to and beneath the distal end of the foot for athletic training while walking Cox (U.S. Pat. No. 3,739,500) discloses a full-shoe version of the frontal platform. These platforms elevate the whole of a wearer's foot above the ground, but provide support only to the distal end of the foot (underlying the ball of the fo...
