Hey Kevin, I'd definitely call it The Zapatón, El Zapatón… I saw this on the other list you posted and it makes a lot of sense, at least in Spanish. It does look like a big shoe and it also functions as such.
It's YOUR Zapatón and it takes you wherever you want to go. And it's only one, that's something i would consider if i were you. shoes usually come in pairs and that makes it more interesting and unique.

“Butt Boot” seems just about perfect: descriptive, alliteratively monosyllabic, with just a pinch of self-deprecating humor to drive away any orthopedic associations.

For the new rig: Strideriders or, with a nod to Truman Capote, Golightlies.

I vote for “Terrain Bounders” and….well, still thinking about the other one….”butt boot” comes the closest to being the “winner” for me, but still doesn't have the right sound.

personally, i like butt moccasin. thats what ive always called it. Birkenbum has a nice ring to it, though. dunno about the crutches. i kinda like 'jumping crutches' or 'cheetah legs.'
