Abstract
Biomechanically, a human foot operates as a lever of the second class during the motions involved with walking, running or jumping. Extending the toes during such motion increases the distance between the fulcrum and effort of the foot-lever and results in increased foot propulsion. Disclosed are apparatus and related methods of accomplishing extended toes during the motions involved with walking, running or jumping.

- and
- a descending surface having a top end affixed to a proximate end of the upper surface and forming an abrupt dropoff therefrom, the dropoff configured for positioning beneath a ball of the foot;
- wherein the insole terminates after the abrupt dropoff.
