Abstract:
An article of sports footwear that changes shape in two ways. Firstly, a change of shape occurs when such footwear is used to kick a ball with the toes. This change of shape maximizes the area of contact with a ball that is kicked with the toes. Secondly, a change of shape occurs when the article of sports footwear bends during running. This change of shape shortens the entire length of the article of sports footwear in order to prevent tripping. A flexible toe cap encases the foot and parts of a traditional article of footwear and attaches at or near the tarsometatarsal joint of a wearer.
