Here is a short video of one of my digitigrade leg stilts in action, which was built from my recent redesign.

Made this to basically show all the realistic movements of the foot. Once I get the upper part of the legs finished I’ll probably make another video of me walking in them outside. (Waiting for my fur to arrive in the mail atm).

Not sure if this video will have sound or not, but if it does prepare yourself for some squeaking -_-’ which is what happens when you have to make some parts out of wood when the majority of the construction is metal… I plan on eliminating all noise some time in the future most likely when I replace the fur. As you can see the fur currently on it has seen better days, with the holes in the fabric and all. Prototypes and past builds haven’t been very nice to it.

Hope you enjoy.

Pictures of me wearing the completed legs as well as the design for the legs construction can be found in my gallery along with other stuff related to my costume project as well.

You seriously need to patent this design once you come up with a final reliable version that is durable and long lasting for heavy duty, with different sizes available and custom fur options.  This is something many fursuiters and furries need.

How comfy/uncomfy are they to wear?
I was thinking about a pretty similar design for quite a while, just without the knee-holding part and I didn't want to build them just because i thought it's going to be really tiring for my knees and ankles.

Hey, I was wondering how did you get yours to be such low profile? I'm planning to create a pair for a Faun/Saytr costume and I'd like to get them as small as possible. Could you perhaps list the materials, instructions or a picture of them bare? It would help me so much in furthering my costume! By the way, I was looking at some of your other work, REALLY REALLY impressive stuff!!!

I took a peak at your blueprints for these legs, and I was wondering, what do you suppose would change about the legs if you were to change the wire connecting the hock to the shin support with a strong elastic cord? (Like a bungee)

I would love to buy a pair of these if you ever got around to doing commissions!

Stumbled across your creations while researching some ideas for a halloween costume. I have to admit that though the demo was short, these are the most realistic digitigrade stilts I have seen hats off to you!

ragear [2011-07-27 21:35:39 +0000 UTC]

wow, already nice looking. Please try to do a better video with full walking action, I'd love to see it. This video does not do credit to these digistilts. The toes are individually moving, nice action. I'd be too afraid to stumble and fall over, tearing ligaments to shreds, what's your feeling? How long can you keep the stance?

It is a bit squeaky but the design is great, needs less tattered fur though.

Unigirl150 [2011-06-02 09:58:02 +0000 UTC]

Wow. I seriously want those lol. They are AMAZING! (if not a bit loud lol) I have been trying so hard to come up with some working digitigrade stilts that look good under fabric and still fit my body, but have been unsuccessful. I am so envious of you right now! And they look so realistic!
