Footwear apparatus having simulated deer hoof bottoms

Abstract

A footwear apparatus has simulated animal hoof bottoms. More specifically, the footwear apparatus includes a footwear top portion, a footwear sole portion connected to the footwear top portion, and a footwear bottom portion connected to the footwear sole portion. The footwear bottom portion includes a simulated deer front foot portion and a simulated deer rear foot portion which are connected to the footwear sole portion and project downward therefrom. The footwear top portion includes straps. The footwear sole portion can include a stiff flexible inner member layer housed between outer flexible layers. Together, the pair of simulated front deer foot portions and the pair of simulated rear deer foot portions comprise simulated deer hoofs. Preferably, a bottom side of each of the pair of simulated front deer foot portions projects forward from the footwear sole portion at a bottom side forward projection angle of approximately twenty-two and one-half degrees.

1 . A footwear apparatus having simulated animal hoof bottoms, comprising:
 a footwear top portion,   a footwear sole portion connected to said footwear top portion, and   a footwear bottom portion which includes a simulated animal front foot portion and a simulated animal rear foot portion,   wherein said simulated animal front foot portion and said simulated animal rear foot portion are connected to said footwear sole portion and project downward therefrom, and   wherein a bottom side of said simulated animal front foot portion projects forward from said footwear sole portion at a bottom side forward projection angle.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said bottom side forward projection angle is in a range of from fifteen to thirty degrees. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said bottom side forward projection angle is approximately twenty-two and one-half degrees. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a top side of said simulated animal front foot portion projects forward from said footwear sole portion at a top side forward projection angle. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein said top side forward projection angle is in a range of from thirty to forty degrees. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein said top side forward projection angle is approximately thirty-five degrees. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said simulated animal front foot portion includes a pair of simulated front foot portions. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said pair of simulated front foot portions includes a pair of simulated front deer foot portions. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein each of said pair of simulated front deer foot portions includes a base region having a base region width and includes an end region having an end region width, wherein said base region width is greater than said end region width, such that said pair of simulated front deer foot portions taper from said base region to said end region. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said simulated animal rear foot portion includes a pair of simulated rear foot portions. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said pair of simulated rear foot portions includes a pair of simulated rear deer foot portions. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said pair of simulated rear deer foot portions project from said footwear sole portion at approximately ninety degrees.
