ABSTRACT:
An athletic shoe designed for kicker's kicking footballs from the ground having a toe portion that extends upwardly with respect to the horizontal plane formed by the heel and instep of the shoe. The toe has a kicking surface that is substantially flat and perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the heel and instep. Furthermore, the kicking surface is as wide as the widest part of the kicker's foot so that slight misalignment to the left or right of center of the kicker's foot with respect to the ball does not substantially affect kicking accuracy. A shank can be provided on the sole and substantially aligned with the kicking surface to prevent toe and ankle breakdown during kicking. Additionally, a last for forming the kicking shoe having the upwardly extending toe area and substantially flat kicking surface at the frontmost part of the toe area. The last also is as wide at the toe area as the widest part of the shoe.
