3-D footwear is a new inventive footwear that allows you to adjust your height by extending and retracting to put you at the right height to accomplish common household tasks. As you lift your foot, the ratchet system clicks into place beneath you foot allowing you to pull yourself up. Your foot rests on a wooden platform attached to a steel linear ratchet. Not only will it get you to the height you need, but it allows for much easier mobility and storage. For example, 3-D footwear provides an easier and more effective way to get to your gutters, to clean your windows, and to scrape off ice dams. Ladder Boots eliminate the issue of carrying a heavy ladder, or having to spend multiple days on a task because of the inefficiencies of lugging around a ladder. Unlike a ladder, where you have to get down and reposition it, 3-D Footwear allows you to have a whole new dimension of freedom. Instead of being limited to only walking in the x and y direction, movement in a new dimension is created. Escape from Flatland and embrace 3-D Footwear!
