Walking without gravity

This is walking without gravity, and it is a set made up of a magnet embedded shoe and a steel studded floor that makes walking in space possible. The magnet shoe is made from an astronaut's shoe and with a thin magnet not unlike the shape of a horse shoe embedded on the bottom. The magnet should be just strong enough to have the astronaut stand straight up, but not strong enough to have them get stuck. The floor of the space craft is made with the original ground of the space craft, and with a very thin layer of steel compressed on top. All astronauts could use this because it can help them get around faster and easier, and it can help them use and stretch the leg muscles they don't normally use in space.

Little Inventors team says

Another brilliant invention Jessica, you really have a natural flair for inventing. Your anti-gravity boots look and sound fantastic. They would be a great solution for helping the astronauts to exercise and it would be nice to walk easily from one place to another. It's great to see one of our little inventors thinking about how their invention might work, excellent job!
