<p>A variable weight athletic shoe (10) is described. The athletic shoe (10) may be removably fitted with training weights (402) of varying heaviness or the weights (402) may be left off entirely without damaging the aesthetic appeal or functional aspects of the shoe (10). Weights (402) of various sizes are quickly and securely coupled to the rear portion of the heel-enclosing section (30) of the shoe with several types of attachment clips and latches (430). In other variants of the invention, shoe weights (402) are removably attached within cavities in the heel (82, 114) or arch section (242) of the shoe sole. Weights may also be attached across the instep of the athletic shoe. The shoe weights (402) may be covered in various protective and decorative coverings and may contain lightening holes to achieve the desired weight in a given size.</p> |
