The closest thing is the boot blade, and it sucks.
Of course, you can always kick someone, which is an unarmed strike.

Then can you elaborate whether unarmed strike works with warpriests sacred weapon feature? Cause its rather unclear on that

Sacred weapon works with your deity's favored weapon, whatever that may be, and anything you take Weapon Focus in. So if your deity's favored weapon is unarmed strike (e.g. Irori) or you took Weapon Focus (unarmed strike), your UAS is a sacred weapon and gets sacred weapon damage, enhanceability, etc.

I mean, they *did* do it back in the day. It was more wrestling, though, and actual historical armor was not as encumbering as the tradition that Pathfinder inherited from D&D.

It replaces sacred weapon with flurry of blows. You get monk damage progression but you don't get to enhance it. It's not pointless if you enjoy the monk abilities but want to have 3/4 cleric casting. People have been trying to make a good monk/cleric multi class since the beginning

Sounds like something people would use to train so they can improve their speed when actually performing a sprint. So it's not as bad or silly as you make it out to be.
As others have said, Spiked Armor is possible for use since it doesn't require hands, and flavoring it as having spiked tonlets or sabatons would be both acceptable and cool.

Just remember that your PC's spiked toes have to be short(up to 1ft) as ONLY nobles can have sabatons up to 2.5ft... lol...
(and no, not the swedish power metal band...)

Greaves btw are the name of the combat equivalent last I knew.
but Pathfinder does not have any sadly.
i would just use armour spikes though, put them on my boots.
IF I remember corrrectly.. armour spikes just require to be attached to armour.
and all clothing has an AC bonus of 0.. aka its armour just with no defensive value by game terms (hence you can enchant with that magic vestment spell etc)
So.. I'd just have boots, and attach armour spikes and use those.
In theory.. that should be a perfectly legal way to get leg kicking focused character
