ABSTRACT:
A kicking shoe is disclosed which comprises wedging means in the toe box for maintaining the toes of a wearer in an upwardly flexed position. The resulting forward flexure of the toes facilitates "locking" of the wearer's ankle, and causes kicking force to be transmitted to a ball through the heads of the metatarsal bones of the foot rather than through the toes. Accordingly, the accuracy and distance of kicking are significantly improved by use of the shoe.
