Patent number: 9179738Abstract: Disclosed golf shoes can include an upper and an outsole, and an oblique internal toe box region defined between a forward portion of the upper and a forward portion of the outsole. The toe box region can have a shape that corresponds to an anatomical shape of a forward portion of a person's foot. The forward portion of the outsole can have five discrete toe traction zones each being configured to be positioned below a respective one of a person's toes. The toe box region can be sufficiently wide to allow a wearer's toes to have a full anatomical range of motion in medial and lateral directions. The toe box region can be sufficiently wide such that the ratio of a maximum width of the toe box region divided by a maximum heel-to-toe length of an internal open region of the golf shoe is greater than about 0.35.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Ernie Rustam, Marco Aurelio Grott, June Cate, Gerald Kuhtz
