1. An anti-mine pad comprising a rigid horizontal platform (1), support legs (4) and footwear-fastening elements, and said platform (1) has an upper surface (2) for a footwear and a lower surface (3) having a convex shape to reduce an influence of explosion striking factors, and the support legs (4) are connected to the lower surface (3) of the platform (1), contact by their own support surfaces (11) with a ground surface and arranged in such a way that contact points between the support legs (4) and the ground surface are located outside the platform (1), and the platform (1) is arranged on the support legs (4) in such a way that it provides a space h2 between the upper surface (2) and the ground surface, wherein the lower surface (3) of the platform (1) is made such that it has a convex protrusion (6) with a vertex (9) and two inclined surfaces (7), (8), and the vertex (9) of this convex protrusion (6) faces towards a bottom of the anti-mine pad and arranged primarily along a central axis of the lower surface (3) of the platform (1) in such a way that the lower surface (3) of the platform (1) in a form of the inclined surfaces (7), (8) and their shared vertex (9) has no parallel planes in a projection of a human foot relative to the upper surface (2), and the structure of the platform (1) with the support legs (4) is formed by a rigid polymeric inner frame and a polymeric outer shell (10) that is externally applied to the rigid polymeric inner frame, and the inner frame rigid polymeric material has a higher rigidity than a polymeric material of the outer shell (10), and the arrangement height h2 of the upper surface (2) of the platform (1) above the ground surface is from 40 mm to 99 mm.
