Abstract

A weighted shoe assembly includes an article of footwear that has an upper and a sole such that the article of footwear can be worn on a user. The article of footwear has a plurality of channels each being integrated into the article of footwear. A plurality of weighted objects is each movably disposed within a respective one of the channels. Each of the weighted objects is urged forwardly in the respective channel to impart inertia into the article of footwear for enhancing kicking an object with a toe of the article of footwear. Conversely, each of the weighted objects is urged rearwardly in the respective channel to impart inertia into the article of footwear for enhancing kicking an object with a heel of the article of footwear.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A weighted shoe assembly having dead weight being movably integrated therein for enhancing kicking an object, said assembly comprising:
 an article of footwear having an upper and a sole wherein said article of footwear is configured to be worn on a user, said article of footwear having a plurality of channels each being integrated into said article of footwear, each of said channels being fluidly discrete from each other; and   a plurality of weighted objects, each of said weighted objects being movably disposed within a respective one of said channels, each of said weighted objects being urged forwardly in said respective channel when said article of footwear is abruptly stopped when said article of footwear is moving in a forward direction wherein said plurality of weighted objects is configured to impart inertia into said article of footwear for enhancing kicking an object with a toe of said article of footwear, each of said weighted objects being urged rearwardly in said respective channel when said article of footwear is abruptly stopped when said article of footwear is moving in a rearward direction wherein said plurality of weighted objects is configured to impart inertia into said article of footwear for enhancing kicking an object with a heel of said article of footwear.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said sole has a top surface, a bottom surface, a toe and a heel, said upper extending upwardly from said top surface, each of said channels being positioned between said top surface and said bottom surface of said heel. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein each of said channels is elongated to extend substantially between said toe and said heel. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said channels are spaced apart from each other and are laterally distributed in said sole. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said channels has a front end and a back end, said front end of each of said channels being rounded, said back end of each of said channels being rounded. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said weighted objects comprises a sphere being comprised of steel or other material of a similar density thereby facilitating each of said weighted objects to freely roll within said respective channel. 
     
     
         7 . A weighted shoe assembly having dead weight being movably integrated therein for enhancing kicking an object, said assembly comprising:
 an article of footwear having an upper and a sole wherein said article of footwear is configured to be worn on a user, said article of footwear having a plurality of channels each being integrated into said article of footwear, each of said channels being fluidly discrete from each other, said sole having a top surface, a bottom surface, a toe and a heel, said upper extending upwardly from said top surface, each of said channels being positioned between said top surface and said bottom surface of said heel, each of said channels being elongated to extend substantially between said toe and said heel, said channels being spaced apart from each other and being laterally distributed in said sole, each of said channels having a front end and a back end, said front end of each of said channels being rounded, said back end of each of said channels being rounded; and   a plurality of weighted objects, each of said weighted objects being movably disposed within a respective one of said channels, each of said weighted objects being urged forwardly in said respective channel when said article of footwear is abruptly stopped when said article of footwear is moving in a forward direction wherein said plurality of weighted objects is configured to impart inertia into said article of footwear for enhancing kicking an object with a toe of said article of footwear, each of said weighted objects being urged rearwardly in said respective channel when said article of footwear is abruptly stopped when said article of footwear is moving in a rearward direction wherein said plurality of weighted objects is configured to impart inertia into said article of footwear for enhancing kicking an object with a heel of said article of footwear, each of said weighted objects comprising a sphere being comprised of steel or other material of a similar density thereby facilitating each of said weighted objects to freely roll within said respective channel.
