The compressed air boots were footwear specifically designed for protecting the feet and ankles during outdoor walking activities such as hiking. On the heel of each boot was a cylinder of highly-compressed air capable of lifting its wearer off the ground. Created by Horace "I.Q." Boothroyd, the device was used by James Bond Jr to leap himself and Vicki Jones over a rolling felled tree. The item appeared in episode 56 ("Quantum Diamonds") of the 1991-92 animated television series, James Bond Jr.
