Probably old news and fursuiters everywhere creamed their pants, but I’m fascinated by actually seeing something resembling an natural upright digigrade walk1. I had to make-do with a mirror and me tip-toing for figuring out how trarr stand. ;)

I wonder how comfortable it is to walk in those.
And the thing about digigrade bipedal creatures is that they would need big honking feet just like those stilts in order to have any sort of balance.
Comfortably: Depends on how heavy those stilts are. Can’t be worse than high-heals if the aperatus isn’t too heavy.
On the big honking feet – not necessarly. Depends on how the whole being is balanced and if it’s build for speed or stamina – if you click through the similiar videos you’ll find one of a similiar contraption just ending in two points, without feet. And the high-end artificial legs made for running and jumping have really small feet too.
