If you did hit a tree, you'd be back up in 15 seconds and watchers would hail you as guru. We should meditate on that...

The footwear would last at least 20 years and Individual Footware would make add-ons 'till 2055.

By then, we'd have a mini-foot, a natafoot and a big foot 5000.

...wait for it...







A Bigfoot power supply!

I hope not, only because if you thought the OLD Amiga "Walker" case was an ugly design, well, imagine the one that goes with the Amiga shoe.....
