Abstract

A soccer training shoe has a multiplicity of target sectors affixed over different shoe portions which have a different shape corresponding to an optimal area of kicking contact for a respective kicking technique and a different color from the other target sectors to allow one to visually distinguish what type of kicking technique has been performed and whether it has been performed optimally. In the preferred embodiment, the soccer training shoe has target sectors on the heel, forward instep, middle instep, lace, outside foot, and toe portions of the shoe.
