      Hi

      I personally wont be inventing rocket boots, I don’t know enough about engineering. But there is a company that’s made water powered rocket boots
      http://www.aquaticjetpacks.com/

      these are powered by a jet ski and linked to the person by a long tube, it looks pretty cool!

      Heya,

      Sadly, I won’t be inventing rocket shoes either I’m afraid! But I imagine it would be a very difficult thing to do indeed.

      You would need to somehow keep your balance while moving very fast. But also, would you want a rocket setting off explosions right next to your feet? What do you think would happen if something went wrong?

      Ouch? :O
