Thought that was Mr. Wrestling 2? Or The Grappler.

Had orthopedic boot. Looked like thicker sole. Suggestion being he had something in sole that he loaded to the front.

I don't know who started that, I remember Dr. X doing that when I was a kid, the premise was there was a weight in the boot, and when he "loaded" it by kicking his toe down on the mat, positioned it to the front of the boot, for a brass knuckles effect, very risky move, for it was an instant dq to get caught with a loaded boot

Supposedly there was lead in the boot and when the Sheik or Iron Sheik "loaded up the boot" by kicking the curled toe into the mat, the lead would go into the toe (making it very hard) and then he'd kick his opponent with it.

Mr. Wrestling II had the bionic knee. I think it was Dr. X who was famous for loading the boot, but others have also done it.

also, you would not want to be on the receiving end of "the Claw," from Dr. X, pretty sure he learned that from X med school

Definitely the Grappler, That shite was funny as hell. He would tap his heel several times on the mat and the announcer would say he is loading up the boot. In reference that his boot was loaded with lead then he would kick the opponent and he would fall out cold as ice.
