An apparatus for walking on mud includes a shoe body made of a rigid
material that floats in water, the shoe body including a generally
horizontal top surface having a substantially greater area than an area of
a sole of a foot of a user, the shoe body including a bottom portion
having a bottom surface with a generally convex contour; a fastener
attached to the top surface for attaching the apparatus to a foot of a
user; and pegs attached to the bottom surface, the pegs extending
downwardly away from the bottom surface.
