Abstract: A kickboard training device is provided. The kickboard may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and front, rear, left, and right edges bounding the upper and lower surfaces. The kickboard may include opposing wing portions positioned across a longitudinal centerline extending between the front and rear edges. The kickboard may include one or more surface elements associated with at least one of the upper and lower surfaces. The one or more surface elements may be arranged to define a flotation characteristic of the kickboard. The one or more surface elements may include at least one of a channel defined in at least the upper surface, a plurality of grooves defined in at least the lower surface, and one or more ailerons coupled to the kickboard.

Abstract: A swim paddle training device is provided. The swim paddle may include opposing upper and lower sides or surfaces; front, rear, left, and right edges extending between or bounding the upper and lower sides; and a plurality of surface features arranged to facilitate proper movement of the swim paddle during swim training. The plurality of surface features may create areas of varying buoyancy to affect the orientation of the swim paddle during swim training, such as promoting a forward, downward, and inward pathway or rotation of the swim paddle during use. The plurality of surface features may include a plurality of grooves defined within at least the lower surface of the swim paddle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a footwear insole for increasing comfort in high heel shoes by providing a base layer extending from a heel to a forefoot of a foot, and a raised portion prominent from the top of the base layer and situated substantially under an arch of the foot, in which the raised portion is configured to increase support of the plantar fascia of the foot.

Abstract: Disclosed is a footwear insole for alleviating arthritis pain of the foot, knee, and/or hip by providing a rigid shell layer for arch support, and a topcloth, an upper cushioning layer, and a lower cushioning layer for cushioning. Further, the rigid shell layer includes a shell aperture, and the lower cushioning layer includes a lower layer aperture, through which a portion of the upper cushioning layer extends for cushioning.
