This Novel system provides Two 'longitudinal Slanted rails'. Fixed to both unside surfaces of the stirrup sole plate in line with the foots forward direction. This Provides advantage over previous systems By A. Providing increased surface wear area. B. Providing a more stable platform when standing on the ground due to increased footing dimensions. C. The rails are tapered down in the forward direction to bring the ball of the foot in contact with the ground more readily during walking. D. the rail under side wear face can be serrated (as show) to enhance grip. E. In lawn environments the rails can be used to slide over grassed areas by holding the foot level. This can aid in the smoothness of walk. As with the prior art of (a series of tips) the rail also Shields the stirrup from wear. Provide a clearance of the Gaff Tips 'off the ground'. Provide some sole grip stability in the outdoor environment.
