The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention will be best defined by the allowed claims of any resulting patent.
- Disclosed is a device for converting a utility of tennis shoes or any flat soled shoe to that of a specialized shoe. The specialized shoe offers enhanced traction on ground for sports such as golf, soccer, baseball, softball, football, tracking, hiking, and the like sports. Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 which show a perspective view of thedevice 100,FIG. 1 shows the device applied to a flat sole of ashoe 200. Thedevice 100 includes afront member 110 and arear member 120. Optionally thedevice 100 can also include a middle member. - The
front member 110 can be applied to a front portion of a sports shoe or an athletic shoe that has a flat outer sole. For example, the tennis shoes typically have a flat sole but are quite comfortable. Thefront member 110 can be applied to a front portion of the sole as shown inFIG. 1 . The front portion can correspond to a toe and ball of a foot. Thefront member 110 can be of a substantially U-shape. An outer periphery of thefront member 110 can substantially align with an outer periphery of the front portion of the sole. The front member can extend over a portion of the front of the sole that corresponds to the toe and the ball of the foot. The front member can be continuous throughout the front portion of the sole. Alternatively, the front member can have a void at the center.FIG. 1 shows a U-shape void in the front member. - A top side of the
front member 110 can be provided withspikes 130, that are projected outwards. The construction and geometry of the spikes can be similar to the spikes in specialized shoes, such as the shoes for golf and football. However, other geometries of the spikes for use in shoes that can prevent slipping on ground are within the scope of the present invention. The geometry and material of spikes may vary with the type of sports, and thus the spiked can be designed according to the intended sports. For example, the spikes can be made of rubber material. Thespikes 130 are arranged in U-shape rows that are spaced apart from each other and along with the U-shape profile of thefront member 110. WhileFIG. 1 shows two rows of the spikes, it is obvious to a person reading this disclosure that more than two rows are within the scope of the present invention. Each row has several spikes at spaced intervals, the spacing between adjacent spikes can be varied without departing from the scope of the present invention. A skilled person will however appreciate that the spacings between the adjacent spikes can be optimized. - The front member can have a base 140 and the rows of spikes are provided on the front side of
base 140. The other side i.e., a bottom side of the base can have a layer of adhesive that may allow affixing the front member to the sole of the shoe.FIG. 2 shows the base 210 havingspikes 220 on its top side and a layer of adhesive 230 on its bottom side. The base and the rows of spikes can be integral. Alternatively, the rows of spikes can be bonded to the base. The adhesive can be applied to the front member just before the application of the front member to the sole. Alternatively, a layer of adhesive can be applied to the base at the time of manufacturing. The layer of adhesive can be protected by a liner that can be peeled off just before the application of the front member. - Again, referring to
FIG. 1 , therear member 120 can be applied to a rear portion of the sole of theshoe 200. Therear member 120 can be applied to the rear portion of the sole as shown inFIG. 1 . The rear member can also be of a U-shape geometry. An outer periphery of therear member 120 can be aligned with an outer periphery of the rear portion of the sole. The rear portion of the sole corresponds to the heel of the foot. Therear member 120 can extend over a portion of the sole that corresponds to the heal of the foot. The rear member can be continuous throughout the rear portion of the sole. Alternatively, the rear member can have a void at the center.FIG. 1 shows a U shape void in therear member 120. - A top side of the
rear member 120 can be provided withspikes 150, that are projected outwards. The construction and geometry of the spikes can be similar to the spikes in the front member. The spikes are arranged in U-shape rows that are spaced apart from each other and extend along with the U-shape profile of the front member. WhileFIG. 1 shows two rows of the spikes in therear member 120, it is obvious to a person reading this disclosure that more than two rows are within the scope of the present invention. Each row has several spikes at spaced intervals, the spacings between adjacent spikes can be varied without departing from the scope of the present invention. A skilled person will however appreciate that the spacings between the adjacent spikes can be optimized. - The
rear member 120 can have a base 160, and on the front side of the base 160 are the rows ofspikes 150. The other side i.e., a bottom side of the base 160 can have a layer of adhesive that may allow affixing therear member 120 to the sole of the shoe. The base and the rows of spikes can be integral and form a single unit. Alternatively, the rows of spikes can be bonded to the base. The adhesive can be applied to the rear member just before the application to the sole. Alternatively, a layer of adhesive can be applied to the base at the time of manufacturing. The layer of adhesive can be protected by a liner that can be peeled off just before the application of the rear member. It is however, understood that adhesive layer can be optional, and the disclosed base can be attached to the sole using super glue and the like. Preferably, the base has a plain side, and the user can use super glue to the attach the base to the sole of the shoe. - While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is considered presently to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should therefore not be limited by the above-described embodiment, method, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention as claimed.
