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.
Claims14
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 an 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 intersection line;
- and
- a toe section, wherein the mid-foot section and the toe section collectively have a geometric shape having a first slope along an inner edge of the apparatus from a front edge of the apparatus to the intersection line, a second slope from the inner edge of the apparatus to an outer edge of the apparatus, and a third slope along the outer edge of the apparatus from the front edge of the apparatus to the intersection line, wherein the first slope is greater than the third slope, and wherein the second slope has a variable angle from the front edge of the apparatus to the intersection line that is based on a difference between the first slope and the third 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 athletic positioning sole section to an 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 intersection line;
- and
- a toe section, wherein the mid-foot section and the toe section collectively have a geometric shape having a first slope along an inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section from a front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the intersection line, a second slope from the inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section to an outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section, and a third slope along the outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the intersection line, wherein the first slope is greater than the third slope, and wherein the second slope has a variable angle from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the intersection line that is based on a difference between the first slope and the third slope.
