Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a type of footwear that has a metal sheet inside it to protect against snakes. The metal sheet is designed to be efficient, comfortable for the user, and to improve the aesthetic value of the footwear. Its purpose is to provide a better measure of protection against snake bites.

Problems solved by technology

Snake bites pose a serious risk to people that work and take recreation in natural environments.
The abovementioned developments for protecting people from snake bite may be effective, however, they may still have a number of undesirable qualities.
For example, they are generally uncomfortable to wear.
In addition, they tend to be rather noisy, since the protective leggings will often knock against one another as the wearer walks.
This is undesirable when the person wearing the leggings is hunting, as the clacking noise can scare away game or otherwise alert game to the hunter's presence.
