An athletic training shoe that is designed to simulate beach training (exercising in sand) so as to provide the user with all of the positive effects of beach training which result in improved running speed, vertical jump, pedal quickness, pedal balance, cardiovascular health, and muscle toning and shaping of the entire lower body. Such benefits are easily understood where greater demands are placed on an athlete's muscles when walking, running, or jumping on a beach as opposed to other common surfaces. The muscles of the lower leg are strengthened and elongated simultaneously as they are put through a broader range of motion. The athletic training shoe effectively places the user's forefoot in an ample depth of sand-simulating material (4) contained by a material-holding element (2). This causes the user's weight and momentum to be supported by the muscles of the leg and foot.
