Digitigrade Werewolf Legs / Stilts

"And those are our neighbors wondering what the hell we're doing." LMFAO! :P

did you win?

Yeah, 200 bucks!

Do these hurt your legs? I am going to use them in my dragon costume (quad).

Very cool. Are they comfortable to walk or run in? Could you wear them for a llong time; say, a full convention (about three or four hours)? Do you have any kind of plans or blueprints or something?

ya can't really run in them...but ya can wear them for a good couple hours.

crow feather is correct! running is riskinga fall, but we've pulled off sprints for sacring people--but waxed or super smooth floors prevent safe running. We padded Ben with foam and had him run on linolium until he fell. He ran about 5 times and on the fifth time slid into a wall, butt first, which was hilarious if only because he was padded.

what if you put some kind of rubber grip on the bottoms? shoes, crutches, wheel chairs etc all have some sort of grip to prevent sliding. i dont know how hard it would be to do it though.
Another thing to try is some way to lengthen the arms so you could both walk upright or on all fours.. lol i never liked the way the movies made werewolves get around all hunched over and arthritic looking.. and yet they are super strong. if you run like they do you'll hit your head on something or get tired!

In the book and in the comments there's good discussion on treads. The traction-bottom flip flops are my preference, but ping pong paddle rubber, bicycle tries, and others have been suggested.
Even good treads can't grip a freshly waxed or wetted linoleum surface.

i'll give it a look then. i've only just discovered this recently via deviantart lol
i think most things have a problem with waxed or smooth floors ;) my dog has big feet and even he runs in place on our kitchen floor lol
