Abstract
An apparatus includes a heel section, a mid-foot section, and a toe section. The heel section, the mid-foot section, and the toe section collectively have a geometric shape having a first slope of a polarity along an inner edge of the apparatus from the toe section to the heel section and a second slope of the polarity along the inner edge of the apparatus to an outer edge of the apparatus at the toe section.
Claims17
An apparatus comprises:
- a heel platform section having a width and a length, wherein the width is from an inner edge of the apparatus to an outer edge of the apparatus and the length is from a rear edge of the apparatus to a first intersection line, wherein the heel section has substantially zero slope from the inner edge of the apparatus to the outer edge of the apparatus;
- a mid-foot section juxtaposed to the heel platform section along the first intersection line, wherein the mid-foot section includes a first slope from a second intersection line to the first intersection line along a first line of the mid-foot section, a second slope from the second intersection line to the first intersection line along a second line of the mid-foot section, and a third slope from the second line of the mid-foot section to the first line of the mid-foot section, wherein the first slope is greater than the second slope, and wherein the third slope has a first variable angle based on a difference between the first slope and the second slope;
- and
- a toe section juxtaposed to the mid-foot section along the second intersection line, wherein toe section includes a fourth slope from a front edge of the apparatus to the second intersection line along a third line of the toe section, a fifth slope along a fourth line of the toe section from the front edge of the apparatus to the second intersection line, and a sixth slope from the third line of the toe section to the fourth line of the toe section, wherein the fourth slope is greater than the fifth slope, and wherein the sixth slope has a variable angle based on a difference between the fourth slope and the fifth slope.

A shoe comprises:
- an upper section;
- and
- a sole coupled to the upper section, wherein the sole includes:
- a specific bottom;
- and
- an athletic positioning sole section having:
- a heel platform section having a width and a length, wherein the width is from an inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section to an outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section and the length is from a rear edge of the apparatus to a first intersection line, wherein the heel section has substantially zero slope from the inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section;
- a mid-foot section juxtaposed to the heel platform section along the first intersection line, wherein the mid-foot section includes a first slope from a second intersection line to the first intersection line along a first line of the mid-foot section, a second slope from the second intersection line to the first intersection line along a second line of the mid-foot section, and a third slope from the second line of the mid-foot section to the first line of the mid-foot section, wherein the first slope is greater than the second slope, and wherein the third slope has a first variable angle based on a difference between the first slope and the second slope;
- and
- a toe section juxtaposed to the mid-foot section along the second intersection line, wherein toe section includes a fourth slope from a front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the second intersection line along a third line of the toe section, a fifth slope along a fourth line of the toe section from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the second intersection line, and a sixth slope from the third line of the toe section to the fourth line of the toe section, wherein the fourth slope is greater than the fifth slope, and wherein the sixth slope has a variable angle based on a difference between the fourth slope and the fifth slope.
