/uj I was wondering about these shoes, did any punters in american football use these? Seems like they'd be useful for them
There's the Tom Dempsey rule that doesn't allow for weirdly shaped shoes. Dude was born without toes and had a super weird shoe shape, kinda like a shoe for an elephant would look like. So they made a rule in 1977 that the shoes of someone with an artificial limb must have the same kicking surface than a normal kicking boot. I'd assume that implies that fully able bodied players can't have fancy kicking surfaces either.

I think we have come to a point where went too far with anti-yank agenda and let the English become too arrogant and obnoxious. Jesus Christ, finish this team off so we can have some decency back here. The English are by far worse than the American people on here. I'd rather you're a bit ignorant about the history of this sport than that you become such an entitled and vocal group of people.
