Abstract:
A sole of a spiked shoe having a plurality of projections at positions corresponding to the skeleton of a foot of an appropriate size for wearing the spiked shoe, said sole comprising:a first toe portion projection having a generally rectangular cross-section and extending from said sole at a location corresponding approximately to an end of a distal hallux of the foot, said first toe portion projection being disposed so that a face thereof forms an angle of 75.degree..about.90.degree. with respect to the longitudinal line of the foot;a second toe portion projection having a generally rectangular cross-section and extending from said sole at a location corresponding approximately to an end of a second distal phalanx of the foot and adjacent to the distal hallux, said second toe projection being disposed so that a face thereof forms an angle of 60.degree..about.90.degree. with respect to the longitudinal line of the foot;a first metatarsal head projection having a generally rectangular cross-section and extending from said sole at a location relatively frontward of a first metatarsal head of the foot, said first metatarsal head projection being disposed so that a face thereof forms an angle of 45.degree..about.90.degree. with respect to the longitudinal line of the foot;a stepping portion projection having a generally rectangular cross-section and extending from said sole at a location corresponding approximately to a third proximal phalanx of the foot, said stepping portion projection being disposed so that a face thereof forms an angle of 30.degree..about.60.degree. with respect to the longitudinal line of the foot; anda fifth metatarsal head projection having a generally rectangular cross-section and extending from said sole at a location approximately between a proximal portion of a fourth proximal phalanx and a proximal portion of a fifth proximal phalanx of the foot, said fifth metatarsal head projection being disposed so that a face thereof forms an angle of 50.degree..about.80.degree. with respect to the longitudinal line of the foot.
