If it is a footprint how come it appears to be a foot?

It's a cast of a footprint innit. Either that or some root ginger.

A footprint seen from below, i.e. from effectively within the (now removed) material into which the foot was pressed, looking "up" at the stuff which filled and preserved it.

But how can an infilled print show the tops of the toes?

...same reply, you can even see the curve of the claws as if seen from above.

I imagine the curve comes from the soil erosion, and this resembles the curve of the claws

Or from below. Difficult to tell the precise optics from that photo.

Think of the moon crater effect, where the shadows can make it look as mich like a field of small domes than indentations.

It must just be my small dinosaur brain but if my footprint was fossilised I wouldn't expect to see my toenails.
The curve of that foot and looks very like a view from above to me.
