ABSTRACT:
A square-toe attachment for removable attachment to the front portion of the golf shoe farthest from the golfer's target. The attachment has a generally U-shaped configuration with sides which engage the inside and outside of the sole of the shoe and a rectangular front toe portion with a generally flat front wall disposed forward of the toe of the golf shoe and generally perpendicular to the bottom of the shoe which causes the golfer's foot farthest from the target to assume a generally vertical position with the heel up and toe down during the follow-through phase of a golf swing. The attachment is removably attached to the shoe by flexible straps with hook and loop fastener material which extend over the top of the shoe and is releasably secured to the bottom of the sole of the shoe by at least one of the shoe spikes. During the follow-through phase of the golf swing, as the heel of the shoe is raised during weight transfer, the attachment causes the foot to assume a generally vertical "toe-down, heel-up" position with only the toe portion of the shoe in contact with the ground. Thus, the position of the foot farthest from the target at the follow-through phase of the swing, automatically causes the golfer to shift their weight toward the target, to flex the back knee moving it very close or even to touch the front knee, and to turn the hips toward the target.
