👉 The footwear weapon, also known as a spike boot or spike sole, is a type of improvised weapon fashioned from the soles of shoes, typically leather or rubber. These boots are designed to inflict severe pain and potential amputation by embedding sharp spikes or sharp objects into the sole, which can penetrate the foot during combat. Often used by guerrilla fighters or in urban environments, they are effective against enemies who might not expect such a weapon to be deployed. The simplicity of crafting these weapons from readily available materials makes them accessible and versatile, allowing soldiers or civilians to use them in various combat scenarios.
