17	->''He said, "Won't you walk up and down my spine? It makes me feel strangely alive."\
18	I said "In these shoes? \
19	I doubt you'd survive..."''
20	-->-- '''{{Music/Kirsty MacColl}}''', "In These Shoes?"
21
22	A character whose weapon is greaves, shoes, a leg-mounted weapon, or [[NaturalWeapon a natural feature of their leg anatomy with lethal applications]] (e.g. clawed feet, or sharp bony spines). One of the less [[ImprobableWeaponUser improbable weapon choices]] out there, but still odd. Like Website/TheGrandListOfConsoleRolePlayingGameCliches says for vambraces, expect these characters to still buy their weapons in the weapon store, even if they logically should be in the armor store.
23
24	Related to PowerFist, except with boots instead of gloves; may overlap with ExtremityExtremist. Close to, but not to be confused with, MurderousThighs. See also TrickedOutShoes, LegCannon, CombatStilettos and ShoeSlap. No relation to AnArmAndALeg.

33	* Old comic book ads for AAU Shoes featured villains such as [[http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6512/558/1600/File1049.0.jpg Missile-Toe]], who fired missiles from his toes, and [[https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Ux4KGDet--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/18lsaqog2i7bbjpg.jpg the Dirty Sneaker]], who had a death ray hidden in his sneakers. They would face utter de-feet from their superhero spokesman the AAU Shuperstar.

36	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
37	* ''Manga/AirGear'': Air Treks are advanced inline skates used for extreme sports, most of which are combat oriented, so many characters will use their skates to attack, either directly (such as riders of the Bloody Road, where the "road" is the wounds left on the opponent's body from strikes with their skates) or with some kind of hidden weapon (such as the Thorn Regalia, a back wheel that unravels into a spiked whip).
38	* ''Anime/AkumaNoRiddle'': Tokaku Azuma's boots have holsters for knives and tasers hidden in the heel.
39	* In physical combat, Luck in ''Manga/BlackClover'' fights using his lightning greaves, which he can add claws to for more power, to attack with kicks.
40	* Fabiola Iglesias of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' has heel blades in her shoes for [[GroinAttack one hell of a nasty surprise]] for any punks who try to mess with her. Also Roberta.
41	* ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'' gives us a few examples from its stable of characters. Most notable are Chariot (sports bionic-looking legwear that ends in a razor-toothed wheel on each leg), and the illustration-only Black Rock Shooter Beast, who has small energy buzzsaws on the toes of her shoes, and some kind of articulated scythe-limbs on the backs of her shins.
42	* UsefulNotes/FuumaKotaro from ''Manga/Brave10 S'' is a ruthless shinobi who wears large blades resembling bardiches on both his armlets and his greaves, plus a pair of sharp blades along his soles for good measure. A good part of the fight involves demolishing said blades.
43	* In ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'', Priss' PoweredArmor not only has ''contact-triggered explosives'' on top of both its feet but ''[[RocketPoweredWeapon rockets]]'' on both ankles. Attack sequence; 1). Jump. 2). Kick. 3). Activate rockets for ''rocket assisted kick''. 4). Explosives go off once [[MechaMooks Mecha-Mook]] receives kick to head. 5). Get dustpan to sweep up remains of mook.
44	* ''Manga/BusoRenkin'':
45	** The female lead, Tokiko Tsumura's buso renkin, the Valkyrie Skirt, consists of scythe-bladed SpiderLimbs that attach to her nervous system through metal bands around her thigh, forcing her to fight in her short skirted SailorFuku style uniform as a longer skirts or trousers would rip when it is deployed.
46	** Gota Nakamura can attach his DeadlyDisc buso renkin, the Motor Gears, to his feet. While primarily intended to [[SprintShoes increase his movement speed]], he can also use the razor-sharp spinning discs to enhance the power of his kicks.
47	* ''Manga/{{Cyborg009}}:'' Cyborg 004, as part of being a WalkingArmory, has missile launchers in his knees.
48	* Kanae Takaya from ''Manga/CynthiaTheMission'' has blades built into her shoes, which she uses in one chapter in a very nasty GroinAttack. On another girl.
49	%%* Lenalee with her [[EmpathicWeapon Dark Boots]] in ''Manga/DGrayMan''.
50	* In ''Manga/EtCetera'', Benkate has guns in the heels of her boots and wears guns for earrings.
51	* The pickpocket Paninya from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' has rather unique automail legs, with a huge blade deployable from her right shin (complete with "snk" sound effect), and a ''[[LegCannon 1.5" carbine]]'' housed in her left knee.
52	* In ''Manga/{{Gamaran}}'', a Ninja from the Tamagakushi school wears sandals with sharp hooks on them.
53	* ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' (in all its incarnations) has its [[ThisIsADrill Drill Knee]] attack.
54	* The Type 17 Raiden and Type 17I Shinden in ''Anime/{{Gasaraki}}'' have a pair of pneumatic spikes mounted in each leg, one firing downward through the calf and the other upwards through the knee; admittedly, they're meant for making holes in concrete walls and floors, but they often see improvised use against other TA's, taking kneeing someone in the gut and curb stomping to new heights.
55	* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
56	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'':
57	*** Infinite Justice from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' has beam emitters that generate a cutting edge from knee to ankle giving it a rather nasty kick. Its distant ancestor the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Aegis]] had beam sabers on all four limbs since it could [[TransformingMecha transform into a claw-like flight mode]]. The unrelated Chaos Gundam from ''Destiny'' has beam claws in its feet and knees, mainly used in its flight mode.
58	*** The 105 Slaughter Dagger from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDCE73Stargazer'' has machineguns in its feet. This seems unusual until you see episode 2 and discover (the hard way) that they're anti-personnel guns.
59	*** After its first round of modifications the Blue Frame in ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray'' has a pair of "Armor Schneider" blades that pop out of the unit's feet and heels.
60	** ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam:'' The titular Crossbone Gundams have Anti MS knives concealed in the calves, with the blade able to pop out through the sole of each foot.
61	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00:''
62	*** The Arche Gundam has beam sabers mounted at the tip of its feet.
63	*** On the heroes' side, the Seravee Gundam has GN Cannons whereas other Mobile Suits have kneecaps. Taking this trope literally, they also mount "hidden hands" which can wield beam sabers.
64	*** Its successor in the movie ''Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer'', Seravee II is even better. Its feet are [[AttackDrone Detachable]] GN Cannons while it is docked on Raphael.
65	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing's'' Gundam Heavyarms and its later forms? It had shin ''and '' thigh-mounted missile launchers.
66	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE:'' The Gundam AGE-1 Titus has knee-mounted beam saber emitters, while the Spallow has knee-mounted needle guns.
67	** From the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', the Big Zam's clawed toes could fire off as missiles (the thing didn't have arms, though) and the Zaku grunts could have missile launchers equipped to their legs.
68	** In ''Anime/GundamReconguistaInG,'' this seems to be a favorite design philosophy of the Capital Army suits, which are designed for aerial rather than ground combat and wouldn't have much use for their legs otherwise. [[MechaMooks Caitsiths]] have built-in beam sabers in the knees, [[EliteMooks Elf-Bull(ock)s]] have laser beam nozzles all over their bodies and massive beam sabers in their feet, and the Mack Knifes have not only toe-mounted lasers, but grenade launchers in the calves. The latter two machines also tend to do some impressive gymnastics during battle to take full advantage of their unusual weapon emplacements.
69	* ''Manga/GunsmithCats'' has Bonnie from the early stories who got blown up by Minnie. She replaces her lost leg with a prosthesis outfitted with a shotgun. The 3 part OVA gives a ContinuityNod to this when one of the two exotic weapons Washington offers to Rally ends up as this (the other one is Grey's machete prosthesis from later stories).
70	* The signature weapon of ''Manga/IchiTheKiller'' is a special boot with a blade sticking out of the heel. He makes ''very'' good use of it throughout the story.
71	* ''Manga/TheLoveAndCreedOfSaeMaki'': Sae has customized shoes allowing her to hide a taser in the sole. Misao learns first-hand about it when she tries to change her persona to lose Sae's interest; she's shocked unconscious during lunch after Sae taps her leg with her foot under the table, and nobody has any idea what happened to make her suddenly "faint". In the final chapter it's revealed that she also has a knife installed in her high heel.
72	* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
73	** ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS'' introduces [[{{Cyborg}} Nove]] and her Jet Edge rollerblade Device to the franchise. She has a PowerFist as well, but tends to use the armored [[RollerbladeGood rollerblades]] more often.
74	** ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' has Miura and her [[NonindicativeName non-indicatively named]] Star Saber device, a pair of armored boots that, among other things, allow her to increase her kicking power through [[EnergyAbsorption Breaker-type]] magic.
75	* Morgiana from ''Manga/MagiTheLabyrinthOfMagic'' is a former slave from a clan of martial artists that specialize in kick attacks. Her feet alone are beyond deadly weapons, able to crack the earth just by stomping, but when she's made a Household Member by Alibaba she uses her former leg shackles as her Household Vessel. At first she has too little magoi to effectively use her Vessel and prefers to just stick to her martial arts, but after a TimeSkip she's learned to lethally imbue her shackles with fire and can even use the chains on them like wings to fly.
76	* The ''Mazinger'' series:
77	** ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Mazinger-Z had one rocket on each foot. They were intended to allow it swim, but Kouji also used them like weapons -usually blasting a Mechanical Beast's face to force it to release Mazinger-Z). Several [[{{Robeast}} Mechanical Beasts]] also had weapons fitted on their legs (for example, Deviler X1 had a rocket launcher!).
78	** ''Anime/GreatMazinger'' has two attacks based around this, the Knee Impulse Kick (a retractable knee spike) and the Backspin Kick (a cutting blade in the lower leg).
79	* As Izuku Midoriya of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' shifts to a more kick-centric fighting style, he gets his costume upgraded to support it. One such upgrade is a pair of iron boots which serve as both defense and offense. As Midoriya describes it, the moment he connects with a strong impact, the toes of his boots respond with a second motion, like the blowback function of a gun, which results in two attacks for the price of one.
80	* ''Manga/OnePiece:''
81	** Buggy the Clown has retractable knives in his shoes. One of his attacks involves [[DetachmentCombat detaching his lower body]], then sending his lower half cartwheeling towards the opponent as a spinning bladed wheel.
82	** Sanji is an ExtremityExtremist who uses only his feet in battle. The second ''One Piece'' movie saw Sanji's shoes stolen, and Sanji unable to fight properly as they provided added protection for his feet.
83	** Gold Lion Shiki from the movie ''Strong World'' [[LifeOrLimbDecision chopped off his legs to escape Impel Down]]. He later replaced them with swords.
84	** The fishman and pirate captain Vander Decken has sharp blades hidden in his sandals. Considering that he has four legs, he's far deadlier than the usual type.
85	** Several of [[Living Weapon Baby 5's]] attacks involve transforming her legs into guns or blades.
86	* ''Anime/RobotRomanceTrilogy'':
87	** ''Anime/CombattlerV'': Combattler V has Battle Returns, a pair of frisbees it can launch from the ankles to reach enemies that are that much farther away.
88	** ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' has a retractable spike on each foot to simultaneously kick and stab {{Robeast}}s with.
89	* Straight Cougar from ''Anime/SCryEd'' can manifest his Alter as a pair of rocket boots and use them to make "bullet" attacks similar to [[PowerFist Kazuma's]].
90	* Tsubasa from ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'' has swords ([[KatanasAreJustBetter especially katanas]]) as her [[WeaponSpecialization weapon of choice]]. Apart from attacks involving [[DualWielding dual-wielding swords]], {{flaming sword}}s, [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing swords]], {{BFS}}s and [[RocketPoweredWeapon rocket powered BFSs]], her Gear design has [[MercurysWings vaguely airplane wing-like things coming out of her feet armor]] that, guess what, turn into swords.
91	* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann:''
92	** The Gurren-Lagann is capable of creating 3 Giga Drills on each knee-cap. As well as one on each leg to replace the lower legs.
93	** It is also able to make perform a "Gurren-Lagann Impact!" as shown when they combine with Arc-Gurren... By transforming the lower half of Gurren-Lagann into a giant drill and actually Giga Drill Breaking the Arc-Gurren from up front. All their allies think Simon and Viral are against the Dai-Gurren-Dan.
94	** Chouginga Gurren-Lagann (AKA Super-Galaxy Gurren-Lagann in English). It is capable of creating Chouginga Giga Drills wherever it wants to. And then it can create more drills on those drills. And more on the second layer of drills. And then to top it off, it can create small, drill-shaped laser cannons that can target the enemy not just anywhere, but also anywhen. Yes. The Time-Space continuum can go die in a fire when Chouginga Gurren-Lagann shows up.
95	** The titular mech, Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann (meaning Heaven-Piercing Gurren-Lagann). It has 30 Probability Fluctuation Missiles in each shin. That means a total of 60 Missiles that can alter Probability itself. The same goes for the Tengen Toppa Dai-Gurren in the second movie.
96	* Vash of ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' has a pair of blades hidden in his boots that seemingly spring forth from a hard step.
97	** ''Anime/TrigunStampede'', a retelling, references this by giving Knives, Vash's twin brother, the ability to form blades from his body. He makes claws from his hands to fight, but also uses the tips of his shoes so his kicks will be lethal.
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder:Comedy]]
101	* In Creator/EddieMurphy's comedy act, he mentions his mother would use her shoe to discipline her children.
102	* In Ali Siddiq's "Prison Riot" bit, the main clue that the titular riot is going to happen is "Mexican got on boots": The Hispanic inmates -- who normally wear sneakers to play handball -- [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness are all wearing steel-toed boots]], the reason for which is later explained to Ali (a new inmate himself) that during a fight they kick their opponent in the shins with their steel-toed boots to open them up for stabbing. [[spoiler:Though it comes to pass that Ali himself gets cut up by a Hispanic inmate who wasn't wearing boots.]]
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Comic Books]]
106	* ''ComicBook/AllStarWestern'': In issues #7-9, ComicBook/JonahHex battles an organisation called August 7. One of its most dangerous members is Z.C. Branke; a gladiator who fights with blades mounted on her ankles like a gamecock's spurs.
107	* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'': Stilt-Man wears a set of weaponized extendable metal stilts.
108	* ''ComicBook/IronMan'': Iron Man has repulsors in his boots that let him fly as a rocket. They are not ''meant'' to be weapons, but can be used as such: if he's in the ground, and the enemy is in the right direction, he may turn on his foot rockets at his face. It's not nice.
109	* ''ComicBook/NewGods'': Stompa of the Female Furies wears anti-matter boots that she uses to crush her opponents and which [[ShockwaveStomp can create tremors or earthquakes by stomping on the ground]].
110	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Tarantula had as his main weapon spikes protruding from the toes of his boots; these could be used simply for slashing or stabbing, or to poison/drug an adversary.
111	* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersCombinerWars'': The rebuilt combiners Menasor and Superion, as well as new combiners Defensor and Optimus Maximus all have guns built into their feet, matching the action figures (in the toy line, all figures that can become an arm or a leg have an accessory that can be either a hand with guns protruding from the knuckles or a foot with two guns for toes). Defensor actually uses his for extra punishment when he kicks Devastator in the head while simultaneously shooting the guns on that foot.
112	* ''ComicBook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{X 23}}, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s OppositeSexClone, has one of her blades placed in each of her feet, which she uses for lethal kick attacks.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:Fan Works]]
116	* When Sakura joins the TSAB in ''[[FanFic/DevilArms Devil Ärms: ReturnerS]]'', her Intelligent Device, Sound Harken, takes the form of a pair of ice skates, the blades of which constitute her main weapon. They can also be used to [[GrindBoots grind on the chains]] created by her Armed Device, Rivet Rail.
117	* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', Izuku's weapon, Emerald Gust, consists of a [[PowerFist pair of armored gauntlets]] and a pair of iron-soled boots. Each of these are equipped with built-in shotguns designed to go off whenever he punches, kicks, or stomps on something particularly hard, pumping his opponent full of buckshot. He actually has to remember to disengage the safeties again while delivering the finishing blow to those who have exhausted their Aura, lest he accidentally kill them.
118	* In ''Fanfic/RubyAndNora'', Lily has a gun in her prosthetic leg.
119	* The world of ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack'' contains a Buffy who never became a vampire Slayer, and instead is an Olympic-level ice skater. When a four-man snatch squad tries to kidnap her, she lures them onto a rink and gives them a reminder that ice skates are based on blades and sharp points moving at high speed.
120	* The fan-made chapter of Space Marines, the Angry Marines, created power feet. These are like {{Power Fist}}s, but in the form of large armored boots, which allows them to kick through tank armor, or infantry armor, to GroinAttack even the most heavily armored foes.
121	* ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': Main character Jeremiah Cross defaults to a brawler style and uses greaves and [[PowerFist gauntlets]] to amplify his otherwise mediocre physical abilities, though he grows stronger as the story goes.
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
125	* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'': Go-Go Tomago wears a special suit kitted out with magnetic wheels on her wrists and ankles. Not only do they let her skate very fast, they can also be thrown for ranged combat, as well as adding a wicked slash property to her kicks and chops.
126	* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted'': Catwoman's boots are both equipped with blades, which she uses to stab Tobias Whale when he has her trapped in a BearHug. It helps she's flexible so her legs can stab in several places such as his shoulders and knees.
127	* In ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', one group of The Blue Meanies' {{Mooks}} wears shoes that open up to reveal hands holding pistols.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
131	* Played for laughs with Random Task of ''Film/AustinPowers'', who throws his shoes like a [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} certain]] ''Film/JamesBond'' villain throws his hat. "Who throws a shoe? Honestly!"
132	* Towards the climax of ''Film/Batman1989'', Batman faces one of the Joker's mooks, who attempts to drop-kick him while blades extend from his boots. Batman instead simply [[GroinAttack punches him in the nuts]] and moves on.
133	* ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'': Jack Burton keeps a knife in the straps at the side of his boot. Normally this is just for storage, but at one point, he kicks it down into a {{Mook\|s}} who is on top of him. It works rather too fast and he's sidelined for a while by the body's weight.
134	* In ''Film/BringMeTheHeadOfTheMachineGunWoman'', the Machine Gun Woman drives the stiletto heel of her boot through [[EyeScream Longara's eye]] while he is lying on the floor.
135	* In ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick2004'', Kyra has blades on the back of her shoes.

138	** The Joker in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' has a knife hidden in his shoe.
139	** In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', Selina's high heels are ''blades,'' allowing her to use them for kick attacks.
140	--->'''Phillip Stryver:''' Do those heels make it hard to walk?\
141	'''Catwoman:''' ''[stamps heel '''through''' Stryver's foot]'' I don't know, do they?
142	* In ''Film/{{Darkman}}'', Durant's henchman Skip has a micro-Uzi concealed in his artificial leg.
143	* An undercover police officer gets kicked in the balls by a shoe with a retractable blade in ''Film/DontOpenTillChristmas''.
144	* ''Film/JamesBond'':
145	** Rosa Klebb in ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' has poison blades hidden in her shoes. Morzeny, a SPECTRE thug who trains personnel on SPECTRE Island, also has a blade concealed in his combat boots, which he uses to dispose of Kronsteen on Blofeld's orders.
146	** In ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'', one of the mooks disguised as an ice hockey player attempts to kill Bond by aiming a kick at his head with his razor sharp ice skate. Bond dodges but the skate staves in part of the ice rink fence.
147	* In ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'', the Kingsmen have special shoes where a blade will come out of the toe if you click your heels together. Also, the BigBad's henchwoman, Gazelle, has two prosthetic legs with blades attached to them.
148	* Tien Hao from ''Film/LegendaryWeaponsOfChina'' have twin swords hidden in his trousers, and in one fight scene, sprouts swords underneath his pants and repeatedly lashes out by kicking.
149	* As in her comics counterpart, Laura of ''Film/{{Logan}}'' has a claw in each foot.
150	* In ''Film/TheLoneRanger2013'', MissKitty Red has a shotgun built into her ivory artificial leg.
151	* In ''Film/TheNakedGun'', one character briefly demonstrates a shoe that at first appears to have a knife that extends from the toe, in a classic example. Then he also extends a corkscrew and a bottle opener. It turns out to just be a throwaway gag and a RedHerring--the Swiss Army Shoe never actually gets used.
152	* One of the CarnivalOfKillers sent to assassinate Clouseau in ''Film/ThePinkPantherStrikesAgain'' tries to kill the detective with a knife hidden in his boot.
153	* Taken to its [[RuleOfCool logical conclusion]] in Creator/RobertRodriguez's ''Film/PlanetTerror'', wherein Creator/RoseMcGowan's character loses her leg and has it replaced with [[LegCannon a machine gun/missile launcher]].
154	* [[TheDragon Tanaka's daughter]] in ''Film/ThePunisher1989'' has hidden blades on her shoe, which are first displayed when she uses them to slit one guy's throat.
155	* In ''Film/RoadHouse1989'', one of Brad Wesley's goons has a blade hidden in the toe of his boot that he tries to use on Dalton. Alas, the goon proves to be "too stupid to have a good time," and so Dalton easily defeats him anyway.
156	* In ''Film/{{Salt}}'', a man the CIA were interrogating escapes from their custody using bladed shoes.
157	* In ''Film/TheSignOfFourSherlockHolmesGreatestCase'', Jonathan Small is an expert at using his wooden leg as a weapon, and bludgeons several characters with it, including Holmes.
158	* ''Film/TangoAndCash'': Cash's boots have concealed derringers on the sole that he uses to shoot people twice throughout the film (once to fend off an assassin that knocked him to the ground, once to ShootTheHostageTaker). Tango at one point deridingly calls them "bazooka-boots", after meeting the LAPD scientist that invented them.
159	* An old martial arts film, ''Film/TheThunderboltFist'', has the hero facing a quartet of EliteMooks in the finale, all of them which have blades embedded in their shoes.
160	* Gordon puts a retractable toe blade in James' boot in ''Film/WildWildWest''. It comes in handy once when he kicks a {{Mook\|s}} in the chest, but fails miserably when he (rather tongue-in-cheek) tries to use it to "duel" another Mook who has MUCH larger swordhands.
161	* One of the last fight scenes in the martial arts drama, ''Film/TheYoungRebel'', where the hero fights the CoDragons, the second who is wearing shoes with hidden nails underneath. Ends up backfiring when the villain missed a kick and [[LeftStuckAfterAttack embeds his shoe into a tree stump]], allowing the hero to take him down.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Literature]]
165	* In ''Literature/{{Brennus}}'', Mindstar wears [[CombattStilettos high-heels]]. One of the heels is a knife, the other is a communication device.
166	* ''Literature/CretanChronicles'': An assassin tries to ambush Altheus with his booby-trapped sandals, which has a curved, wicked-looking, ''poisoned'' blade embedded in it.
167	* In ''Literature/TheElenium'', queen Ehlana's bodyguard Mirtai has managed to embed daggers into her boots so that only the tips emerge, making them mostly inconspicuous unless she happens to kick someone… especially [[GroinAttack where]] she prefers to kick them. She also had blades built into her leg armor that protruded out when she bent her knee.
168	* At the end of ''Literature/FromRussiaWithLove'', Rosa Klebb manages to kick Literature/JamesBond with a poisoned blade concealed in her shoe; the story ends with Bond fighting for breath and falling to the floor.
169	* In the ''Literature/GentlemanBastard Sequence'', Capa Barsavi's daughter Nazca, at the age of seven, demanded a pair of boots with iron spikes on the toes so she could enact the LittleGirlsKickShins trope more effectively.
170	* Played [[CombatPragmatist very practically]] by Adora Belle Dearheart in ''Literature/GoingPostal''. She isn't an ActionGirl, but as she calmly points out, being stepped on by stiletto heels is like "being stepped on by a very pointy elephant" due to the sheer amount of pressure concentrated in one heel point. Possibly a stealth pun, given that this is the design philosophy behind actual stilettos of the non-footwear variety. By focusing the full force and weight of your body behind a small enough point, they could be fairly easily driven through even well-crafted chain armor.
171	* In Creator/CliveCussler's ''Literature/TheOregonFiles'' novels, main character Juan Cabrillo has his "combat leg", a prosthetic leg which can store a variety of weapons, and has a single-shot, large-bore gun built into it, which is fired through the sole of the foot.
172	* In ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', Esme Squalor at one point wears stiletto heels that are ''actual'' stilettos. They're for fashion, though, not for fighting.
173	* ''Literature/SplinterOfTheMindsEye''. One of the hostile miners Luke and Leia encounter on the planet Mimban has TrickedOutShoes - boots which extend blades when activated.
174	* DarkActionGirl Eris in ''Literature/ThaisOfAthens'' wears sandals with blades hidden in them, as a leftover of her days as a priestess, and uses them at least once against unwanted suitors.
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
178	* Jethro in ''Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies'' rigged up a boot to extend a blade, which he immediately managed to get stuck in some furniture.
179	* ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'': Skad has a PileBunker in his leg, with the foreleg as the piston and a deployable spike on the heel for the impactor. He uses it to smash up the majordomo's speeder engines while chasing him.
180	* ''Series/{{CSI}}'': In "Daddy's Little Girl", the VictimOftheWeek is killed when he is kicked by a telephone linesman who is wearing a pair of climbing spikes, and the spike on the toe pierces his femoral artery.
181	* One of the main villains of ''Series/CutieHoneyTheLive'' has very long blades extending out of his feet.
182	* In ''Series/DeadliestWarrior'', the KGB came with a shoe knife as their close range weapon.
183	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall Spyfall]]", the Doctor's companions have been issued various ShoePhone gadgets by [=MI6=], including a pair of TrickedOutShoes that shoot lasers. Graham, who is wearing the shoes, activates them by stomping up and down, so when an army of aliens are surrounding them the other companions just tell him to [[DanceBattler start dancing which he does, shooting beams in all directions]].
184	* ''Series/GetSmart'':
185	** The episode "Ship of Spies" had a villainous sea captain with [[LegCannon a gun concealed in his wooden leg]]. He had a spare leg that had a knife hidden in it.
186	** "When Good Friends Get Together" had Max armed with boots that fire nuclear-powered bullets.
187	* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' has a few characters do this, given that the franchise's signature finisher is a kick attack.
188	** ''Series/KamenRider555'': Faiz and Kaixa are equipped with laser pointer weapons that are attached to their ankles before releasing an energy drill, which the Riders propel into a target for their Rider Kicks.
189	** Series/KamenRiderKiva doesn't have an actual weapon, but his right leg has chain-shaped {{Power Limiter}}s on it; for his FinishingMove, the chains shatter and the armor opens up like bat wings, making his kicks more powerful. His legs also manifest energy blades for his Rider Kick in Emperor Form, as do Dark Kiva's.
190	** Most of Series/KamenRiderOOO's alternate leg forms grant appropriately animal-themed weapons or attacks; the Condor Legs grant talons while the Alligator and Tyrannosaurus Legs generate spectral images of their respective animals' heads when OOO kicks. To a lesser extent, the Elephant Legs let him perform {{Shockwave Stomp}}s and the Octopus Legs can split into tentacles which he uses to barrage the enemy.
191	** Series/KamenRiderFourze takes the cake, with his Astroswitches granting a total of 20 different weapons and abilities to his legs alone. This list includes a missile launcher, a Gatling gun, a toe-mounted chainsaw, and a pogo stick; his most commonly used is a [[ThisIsADrill drill]] used to perform his version of the Rider Kick. Furthermore, the arcade game ''Ganbaride'' gave Fourze access to Legend Rider powers, which mounted a few Riders' signature weapons (like [[Series/KamenRiderX X-Rider's cane]] and [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Blade's sword]]) on his legs.
192	* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and its U.S. counterpart ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' use this periodically.
193	** ''Series/ChoushinseiFlashman'': Pink Flash wears pink crystal boots for attacking.
194	** ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger'' and ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'': Using the wolf mecha as one of the megazord's legs grants it a bladed shin.
195	* ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'': Maggie Greene has a built-in blade hidden in her boot.
196	[[/folder]]
197
198	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
199	* Jake Crist wrapped barbed wire around his leg and delivered a super kick to Wrestling/{{CZW}}'s {{bad boss}} DJ Hyde, whipping him across the face with it as the impact knocked Hyde over.
200	* The Young Bucks did this in Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla by stamping thumbtacks into their boots.
201	[[/folder]]
202
203	[[folder:Radio]]
204	* Canadian comedy troupe Radio/TheFrantics have their famous "Boot To The Head" sketches.
205	* ''Captain Kremmen'' (hero of a scifi comedy serial by Kenny Everrett) had a bionic left foot with a detachable big toe that converted into a space cannon.
206	[[/folder]]
207
208	[[folder:Toys]]
209	* ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'': Pohatu's special weapons are his enhanced feet.
210	* ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'' Beast's Figma accurately reproduces the leg-scythes and feet-buzzsaws mentioned above.
211	* Footi from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'' has knives for toenails, which, combined with long legs and ballet dances, turns him into a whirlwind of blades.
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
215	* In ''TabletopGame/AgeOfAquarius'' Second Edition, a number of heavy footwear increases your character's kick damage and lets it deal lethal, not subdual wounds. These include combat boots, Russian army jackboots, safety boots, Grinders and Dr. Martens. The first edition lacks subdual damage mechanics and only has the army jackboots in the weapon table.
216	* ''TabletopGame/{{Arduin}}'', supplement ''Arduin Grimoire Volume 6: House of the Rising Sun''. One weapon used by assassins is the kharkuu, a boot which can deploy three razor-sharp five inch long knives when triggered by the wearer's toes. The blades are usually poisoned. A second combination of toe movements will cause the blades to be discarded.
217	* Most practical [[HumongousMecha BattleMech]] melee weapons in ''TabletopGame/{{BattleTech}}'' are, as one would expect, arm-mounted. The big exception are ''talons'', about the one melee weapon system originating with the Clans who normally disdain close combat in 'Mechs -- these are instead added to the legs and increase the damage of kick and death-from-above attacks by 50%. (Some 'Mechs will also carry leg-mounted conventional weapons, but those generally fall more under the LegCannon trope.)
218	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'''s ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' setting, ''Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue''.
219	** Dagger boots are boots with a claw-shaped blade sticking out the front. They do 1-4 HitPoints of damage.
220	** Bladeboots have a concealed blade that extends out from the toe when the heels are clicked together (think ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''). The boots can be used to attack, in exchange for not being able to run with the blade extended.
221	** Orc-Spiker Boots have a socket at the toe to which various devices (such as stilettoes) can be attached. Attached blades can be used as weapons.
222	** Spiked Footings are shoes with stiletto blades sticking out of the toe.
223	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' , artifact weapons are not called by the same names as their mundane equivalents. Swords are called daiklaives, spears are called direlances. And then there is a type of artifact weapon called "God-Kicking Boots".
224	* The Boots of Asskicking from ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' have a huge spike on the top. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Guess what it does?]]
225	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Space 1889}}'' there is one of the few times this trope is justified. The flying High Martians carry close combat weapons (that do not really correspond to any weapons humans use with their hands but mostly resembles spears or scythes) in their prehensile feet while using their webbed arms for flying. You can see it in the illustration in the background in the ''TabletopGame/{{Space 1889}}'' article.
226	* ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'', ''Magazine/TheSpaceGamer'' magazine #49 article "Tools for Terrorists". When activated, Blade Boots will extend an 80 mm long blade from the toe, allowing the wearer to attack as if using a bayonet and doing 2d6 HitPoints of damage. The wearer can use either Brawling or Unarmed Combat skill as a bonus to hit and the blades can be coated with poison if desired. They're available starting at Tech Level 5, weigh one kilogram and cost 250 credits.
227	* ''TabletopGame/WagaduChronicles'': One monster, Dyobi the Runner is a humanoid creature with long, needle like legs it uses for stabbing enemies.
228	* Boss Zagstruk from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' is a melee-oriented [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Ork]] with a JetPack. After his legs were torn off by a Space Marine [[MiniMecha dreadnought]], he made sure his replacement "bioniks" were made from [[PowerFist Power Klaws]], letting him execute [[GoombaStomp even more devastating diving attacks]].
229	** 4Chan in their /tg/ board has the homebrew SpaceMarine chapter Angry Marines (ALWAYS ANGRY! ALL THE TIME!) who have Power Feet. They are the shoe version of the PowerFist. And like the Fist, they're freaking huge metal cyborg-exoskeleton armored boots that can't be lifted by ordinary feet. Only those of sufficient constant rage can properly use them.
230	[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Video Games]]
233	* In ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad II'', if you equip the singer Shante with shoes as a weapon, she'll take her high heels off and beat the monsters/terrorists/etc over the head with them. B. Jenet from ''VideoGame/GarouMarkOfTheWolves'' also does this to her opponents as a part of her hidden CounterAttack LimitBreak.
234	* Shao Jun in ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' uses a Hidden Blade that projects from her boot rather than the conventional wrist-mounted Hidden Blades. Justified as she is extensively trained in several forms of Chinese martial arts, which place a greater emphasis on the use of leg-based attacks, and was also a concubine favoured for her dancing ability before she became an Assassin, which allows her to take advantage of her natural agility and flexibility. To say she has a lethal kick is not hyperbole.
235	* ''Videogame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'': Viper, in his transformed form, has large, wheel-like spurs on his heels that he can [[PlayingWithFire set on fire]] and be used to kick his enemies.
236	* Used interestingly in ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'': the title character is capable of [[GunsAkimbo quadruple-wielding guns]] by virtue of strapping a pair to her heels and using her witch powers to fire them. The result is a very literal example of CombatStilettos. Several other weapons are also equippable on the leg slot as well; shotguns, revolvers, fire/electricity energy claws, rocket launchers mounted on tonfa, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a pair of ice skates]]. One of these days, ''these'' boots are gonna walk all over you.
237	** ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'' expands on the idea. In addition to the returning handguns, she can equip her feet with swords, [[ChainsawGood chainsaws]], flamethrowers, and whips.
238	--->'''Bayonetta''' ''(in [[VideoGame/Bayonetta2 2]])'': You know what I need? Some heels without guns.
239	** ''VideoGame/Bayonetta3'' [[DownplayedTrope downplays]] this; weapons are now wielded individually, so she no longer has separate hand and foot slots for her weapons. Some weapons still equip on all four limbs - her signature pistols, some [[KillerYoYo bladed yo-yos]], and the ''Franchise/{{Voltron}}''-esque form of Labolas - the others don't have ''anything'' on her feet.
240	* Rayne of the ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' series wears high heels that are actually ''silver'' blades for taking out vampires and other monsters.
241	* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
242	** In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'', Vergil, and later Dante, obtain these as parts of the Beowulf Devil Arm alongside a pair of [[PowerFist gauntlets]]. In the ''Special Edition'' of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Vergil uses the gauntlet-and-greave weapon Beowulf just like how he did back in the third game, but the updated incarnation of Beowulf functions similarly to Dante's Gilgamesh from ''Devil May Cry 4'' in terms of their ChargedAttack mechanics and indicators.
243	** In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'', Dante obtains the Gilgamesh, which aside from turning into gauntlets, also covers his legs with organic metal. The boots also have small buzzsaws on the sides which he uses to empower his kicks during some {{charged\|Attack}} combos.
244	** In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Dante has Balrog as one of his starting weapons, a Devil Arm that consists of gauntlets, shoulder plates and boots. It has two modes and attacking consistently with the weapon in either mode makes the weapon heat up till his punches and kicks are empowered with flames. Using its "Kick" mode, makes the shoulder plates move to his feet and he will perform [[DanceBattler sweeping Capoeira-style kicks]].
245	* Gale from ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' keeps a concealed blade in his shoe which extends when he kicks. He only ever uses it in cutscenes, as when he fights in human form, he uses his assault rifle instead. Appropriately, in his devil form, he attacks with his feet exclusively for physical attacks.
246	* ''VideoGame/{{Downwell}}'' has gunboots as your only weapon.
247	* The "Sabatons" DLC Weapon in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' 8.
248	* Aschen Brodel from ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'' uses [[RocketPunch Rocket Fists]] and calf-mounted shotguns.
249	* In ''VideoGame/FateExtraCCC'' and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', the Alter Ego Meltryllis has prosthetic legs that, from the knees down, consist entirely of giant blades. Said blades are also [[AbsurdlySharpBlade incredibly sharp]] and she makes full use of them in her DanceBattler style.
250	* Duster from ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'' fights with kicks and thus needs shoes.
251	** Duster has a club foot (which is why he limps), so the extra-thick soles provide more buttkicking power.
252	** Also played with in ''VideoGame/Earthbound1994'' after fighting the Kraken; the captain claims to have thrown his slippers at the monster as they fought.
253	* ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' gives Linkle a pair of greaved boots as one of her two useable weapons, with this weapon turning her from an archer to a KickChick.
254	* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has a few champions with these:
255	** Camille, the Steel Shadow, comes equipped with prosthetic bladed legs [[KickChick that makes up much of her fighting style]]. According to her backstory, before she was converted into a cyborg, her preferred weapon was the Shon-Xan footed glaive.
256	** Urgot, the Dreadnought, [[SpiderTank walks around with 6 crab-like legs]], with an explosive shotgun built into each of them, making a bulk of his overall damage.
257	* ''Videogame/TheKingOfFighters'': Kula Diamond can create ice-skating blades under her shoes made of ice. Aside from ice skating, she can use it to augment her kick attacks.
258	* ''VideoGame/{{Loopmancer}}'' has a CyberNinja enemy whose legs are replaced by retractable blades, useful for her to slice you up via kicks.
259	* Jian Campbell from ''VideoGame/LunarDragonSong''.
260	* Jude The Dude, a killer cowboy boss from ''VideoGame/MadWorld''. His roller skates have blades that he uses in kicking attacks.
261	* ''VideoGame/{{Meatgrinder}}'' grants you a GrapplingHookPistol in your ''heels''. Which allows you to latch on enemies after jumping and yank them to their deaths.
262	* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
263	** Charge Man's weapon, the Charge Kick, from ''VideoGame/MegaMan5''. More specifically, it weaponizes the slide.
264	** Vile from ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' is a ''literal'' example of this trope, [[LegCannon dropping bombs out of his knee joints]].
265	* ''VideoGame/MetalFatigue'' [[HumongousMecha Combots]] could roll out of the assembly bay packing light artillery, missiles pods, or lasers mounted on their legs. Armed Legs are the earliest leg research options available.
266	* Variant in ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4\|GunsOfThePatriots}}'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''. Raiden's cyborg body doesn't have any weapons in its legs, but he has rubberized heels that allow him to grip knives and swords with his feet. Most of his stronger slices are executed with his feet.
267	* Mavado uses these during one of his fatalities in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance''.
268	* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' features Holly Summers, a boss whose left leg is proesthetic. While she mostly prefers to fight with her [[ShovelStrike shovel]], [[TrapMaster sandpit traps]], and smattering of small explosives, she's able to fire [[MacrossMissileMassacre a massive storm of missiles from it]] ([[{{Hammerspace}} one wonders how they fit]] given each one appears to be just as big as the leg itself).
269	* Chie in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', despite the fact that most of her weapons are not metal, they are still bought from a metal smith.
270	* The Bouncer class from ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' wields Jet Boots as one of their main weapons. They're not actual boots per se; they're a bladed attachment to your feet that allow you to DoubleJump, float in midair while casting a Technic, and perform some crazy acrobatic kicking while dropping a buff or two at the same time. The Bouncer returns in ''[[VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2NewGenesis New Genesis]]'', complete with Jet Boots, and while they lose the ability to buff the team (that's Techter territory now), they gain the ability to cripple an enemy's elemental resistances, enabling the party to disable them with elemental attacks more quickly.
271	* One of Hinata's special moves in ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' is kicking her shoes at the enemy from midair, complete with pretty rainbow trail effects.
272	* Kisala's secondary weapons in ''VideoGame/RogueGalaxy'' are shoes as well.
273	* To some degree, M. Bison of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' uses this. His metal greaves are one of his most distinct traits and his kicks do tend to be Muay Thai-style shin kicks that would seemingly employ them.
274	* The Grieve Edge fighting style in ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'' consists entirely of kicking with bladed feet. Valeria in the third game uses this style.
275	* With so many characters, it was only natural to have at least one entry from the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series fight with their feet. In this case, it's [[VideoGame/SuikodenII Wakaba]], whose "Shin Guards" can actually be improved by a blacksmith as the game progresses; presumably, her Armed Legs add to her fierce, [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]]-style kicks.
276	* Regal in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', owing to the fact that his hands are bound for most of the game. He continues to use his greaves in [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld the sequel]] even after he removes his handcuffs, after vowing never again to use his hands as weapons of death. He takes his vow literally, as he won't hesitate on using his feet to kill [[spoiler: (including a man who was beyond salvation along with Presea)]].
277	* In ''VideoGame/TurboOverkill'' your character has a hidden, compact ''[[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]'' in his shins. As a melee weapon he can halve most enemies with a ''kick''.
278	[[/folder]]
279
280	[[folder:Webcomics]]
281	* James from ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', the leader of our good doctor's college Vigilante Club. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/13p9/ Invented jet boots]] that he used to kick people rather than fly around using the [[WeaponizedExhaust exhaust]] of it's rockets to set them on fire.
282	* Tikedi in ''Webcomic/ProphecyOfTheCircle'' use metal claws strapped to their feet in their hunting routine for chasing tekk, a much bigger reptilian/avian species.
283	* Tagon in ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' has [[RazorFloss Dorothy Wire]] in his boot heels, so named because the user clicks their heels together to activate it. Only used a few times due to the rather limited utility (it's only effective against things you can get between your feet), but it makes for a handy surprise in those rare instances that it ''is'' practical.
284	[[/folder]]
285
286	[[folder:Web Animation]]
287	* Melanie Malachite from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fights with bladed high heels. Mercury Black, [[CoDragons Co-Dragon]] to [[TheHeavy Cinder]], has guns in his greaves, which are actually cybernetic prosthetics, as his real legs are missing from the knees down.
288	* ''[[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Death Battle]]'''s [[MeaningfulName Boomstick]] has a shotgun for a leg that he liberally likes to fire off, especially when drunk. Side materials reveal that it's actually the Super Shotgun from Doom II.
289	[[/folder]]
290
291	[[folder:Western Animation]]
292	* The Bronze Kneecap from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' conceals a multitude of weapons in his prosthetic knee, the most famous being a small rocket launcher.
293	* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Mr. and Mrs. Stewie", during Stewie's fight with Penelope, she attacks him with a hidden blade in her right shoe and slashes the area right below Stewie's left eye.
294	* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Carmilla Carmine's chosen weapons are blades in her shoes [[spoiler:made from angelic steel]]. She can balance and run quite well en pointe on the tips without blunting them.
295	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': The Scotsman has [[LegCannon a machine gun for his left leg]]. When he ends up wheelchair-bound in his old age, he upgrades from a machine gun to a Gatling gun, and yes, he does get to roll around shooting it.
296	* In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'', General Grievous can ''wield lightsabers with both feet'', so long as he uses his arms for support. In a battle, he's agile enough to switch from using them with his hands, to feet, and back to hands within seconds. Even unarmed, his feet are clawed, and capable of crushing metal. (Or clinging to the side of a spaceship, seeing as he's a cyborg and can apparently survive in the vacuum of space for at least for a little while.)
297	* Cyborg of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' has a rocket in his feet. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyGx3m1gPZI He even sings about it]] when he makes up his own version of the theme song!
298	* American Maid from ''WesternAnimation/TheTick''. Her preferred weapons are her high heeled shoes which can both kick an opponent and be thrown to incapacitate opponents.
299	* Most versions of Fortress Maximus in ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' have featured large fold-out cannons mounted in his lower legs.
300	* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': After a failed raid, Henchmen 21 and 24 give a presentation suggesting they upgrade their weaponry by attaching blades to their feet (basically wearing ice skates).
301	[[/folder]]
302
303	[[folder:Real Life]]
304	* Steel-toed boots were created to prevent dropped objects from crushing workers' feet. It was soon discovered that they come in handy for kicking as well.
305	* Steel-toed boots with [[CombatStilettos a small blade]] concealed in front have been used as weapons by [[LowerClassLout some lesser gangsters]], under the supposition that a powerful kick may disembowel the opponent. However, to be able to ''walk'' in the first place, the blade has to be very short and handheld knives are more effective.
306	* Velociraptor, Deinonychus, and other raptor-type dinosaurs with a huge sickle-claw on each foot. Originally thought to have been used to kick and disembowel prey, [[ScienceMarchesOn scientists now think]] that it was instead used to hold struggling prey down while it was EatenAlive.
307	* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary Cassowary,]] the third-largest living species of bird after the Emu and the Ostrich, is notorious for this. They have very powerful legs and three-toed feet with extremely sharp claws on them -- the middle one in particular growing up to 5 inches (12.5cm) long and [[AbsurdlySharpClaws basically being a natural Stiletto]] -- and defend themselves against humans and other creatures by repeatedly leaping at and kicking them. There have been many instances of their aforementioned targets being horribly maimed and even outright killed by them. Add that to the fact that they can run at up to 30mph (50km/h), jump to a height of 1.5 meters (just under 5ft) and can be extremely aggressive, [[PapaWolf/RealLife especially when their young are threatened?]] It's not hard to see why Cassowaries are known as ''the'' most dangerous birds in the world.
308	-->'''Ernest Thomas Gillard:''' The inner or second of the three toes is fitted with [[SinisterShiv a long, straight, murderous nail]] which can sever an arm or eviscerate an abdomen with ease. There are many records of natives being killed by this bird.
