    Patent number: 5231776
    Abstract: A weighted athletic, training or sport shoe is disclosed. In the present invention, a weight is distributed over the entire bottom of the athletic shoe, but inside the shoe. The weight comprises a large number of small metal spheres of less than 1 mm diameter, arranged in a lattice grid matrix which is molded to the sole and sandwiched between the inner and outer sole of the shoe. From the outside, the shoe appears to be a stylish athletic shoe. The bottom of the shoe is flexible and comfortable because of the method of integrating the weight.
