For those who have the digi grade stilts (or others like them), how are they for extended use? I was told by someone that they are taxing on your hips after longuse (full day at a con). And how do they compair to ones that stop mid shin (or knee)?

I've been a "stilt walker' most of my life performing with circus, and in my experience any form of stilt is going to be taxing on your legs and hips. Whether it being the 'straight up and down stilts, or digigrade, both will put strain on your legs after a long day wearing them. In straight stilts the pain is more from having to actually Lift the heavy stilts up with your legs to be able to walk, with Digigrade, I found it was more of a calves and thighs muscle pain from remaining in that one position.

hope that helps answer your question

Which makes me glad I decided for a different option to create the illusion. I need to walk for 3 days in my costume....
