     '''Gravity boots''', also known as "magnetic boots " or "magnet boots, were " are magnetized boots worn by [[Starfleet]] personnel under certain conditions. These boots provided stability by adhering to a compatible surface, useful when sufficient gravity (or [[artificial gravity]]) was not available, including space walk situations. Each Starfleet [[cadet]] was required to complete training in these boots at the Academy.  Not usually worn indoors, as an entire ship is gravity-controlled deck by deck, "grav boots" are usually worn when working on the [[Hull|hull]] of the ship. There are many species who are used to the same gravity levels, with varying levels of degree. [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]] gravity, for example, is 1.4 x Earth gravity. The effects of higher or lower levels of gravity can have a detrimental effect on a person's physiology, and unless wearing protective gear similar to that of Starfleet space suits with gravity boots, regular check-ups with the doctor on board are necessary.          [[category: science]][[category: misc tech]]
