Abstract
A cadence caller is formed of a U-shaped clip member arranged for releasable attachment to a conventional shoe, the clip member mounting on its upper wall surface a vertically extending, longitudinally elongated post which receives a pair of cymbals through a centrally located bore provided through each, the bore being of greater diameter than the diameter of the post so that the cymbals are permitted free sliding movement along the post. An enlarged end cap, greater in diameter than the bores through the cymbals, is provided on the terminal end of the post to retain the cymbals on the post as they move in response to the movement of the shoe during walking and jogging. The resulting sound of the cymbals contacting each other gives an audible indication of each step.
