Benefits of technology

The patent describes a shoe with a base, cleats, and interconnections. The interconnections are "tunnels" that connect the cleats on the shoe. The interconnections have soft curves to prevent debris from collecting on the shoe. The technical effect of this design is to create a shoe where interconnections between cleats are prevented from collecting debris, which can potentially damage the shoe.

Problems solved by technology

In traditional spikeless golf shoes the distance between the cleats, in some areas, may be less than 5-10 mm which means that a small rock that has a similar size, may easily be lodged between the cleats.

Abstract

An outer sole for a footwear including a base extending from a heel portion, through a midfoot portion, to a ball portion of the footwear, a plurality of cleats disposed on the base throughout the heel, midfoot, and ball portions of the footwear, and a plurality of interconnecting portions extending from each of the cleats and extending across a portion of the base, at least one of the interconnecting portions being connected to an adjacent cleat, where the cleats and the interconnecting portions include soft curves configured to avoid debris from accumulating on the sole.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is related to and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 292,089 filed on Feb. 5, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates generally to footwear and more particularly the present invention relates to an outer sole construction for a spikeless footwear particularly for soccer, football, golf and similar sports to provide better traction.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventional sports shoes often have removable metal cleats or integrated non-metal cleats extending from a sole surface of the shoes. While such conventional constructions may provide reasonably satisfactory amount of traction, it is believed that the degree of traction could be improved. Further, spikes on shoe soles have long been used to provide traction in dirt and grass, but they can damage the surface.[0004]In golf, for example, a player need...
