Time Boots

Ratchet Ringtail, the greatest self-professed inventor in the Land of Een, had great hope for his magical time boots. The boots were meant to take you back in time and, to Ratchet’s credit, they actually worked—sort of. Unfortunately, Ratchet had designed the boots so that their long curly toes pointed back at the wearer, which meant that you kept bumping into yourself coming the other way. As such, the journey into the past always ended up being a rather short one.

As with most of his inventions, Ratchet never worked out the kinks of the time boots, and they ended up gathering dust on the shelves of his workshop.
