Former USSR military technology, these boots are made from titanium and aluminum and will propel you 17 kilometers per hour. I don't know about you, but I don't have a lot of boots that I can do that in...at least not without several cups of coffee. Their site has been "under construction" for sometime but perhaps we'll hear more about these soon, or maybe catch some fellow rocketmen and women zipping to work bootwise? ;-)
Check out an interesting post on these boots from New Scientist Magazine. They first posted in 2000 and then again this past September. Note: The former is more comprehensive.
