Description

BACKGROUND

The shoes worn during physical activity can help make a big difference in performance and foot positioning. A common go-to are cleats, as the protrusions on the sole of a shoe provide additional traction when used on a soft or slippery surface; yet, cleats are often limited to that singular purpose. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.

An apparatus to provide traction when on slippery surfaces for your feet yet allowing multipurpose of the individual's shoe is not being met by any known device or system at present. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main purpose of the cleat overshoe is to provide users with a weighted sports cleat that may boost speed and agility.

The disclosure wraps around a top part of the cleated shoe C and under the arch or midsole M of the cleated shoe C and a heal portion H of the cleated shoe C. Embodiments include the wrap securing to a top part or lace cage of the cleated shoe and not including the heel portion H. Embodiments also include a hook and loop and magnetic fasteners F of ends of the wrap A. The view also includes the lace cage G where eyelets Z provide defined holes for the hooks B to attach. The view also includes the holes EE in the side or end of the wrap A for overlapping hooks to reach the eyelets Z. Weighted portions W are heavier than the wrap fabric to provide training opportunities and are removable when needed.

The present disclosed cleat overshoe, also known as the “TSA #1 Training Speed Agility” offers a modem accessory that when used with cleats provides incredible strength to weight support ratio that can influence agility and running to allow for performance improvements. Expanding on the initial design of an average pair of cleats, the disclosed training speed agility introduces a novel stretchy shoe weight that can easily be placed on or removed from the surface of a cleat. The weight can be securely fastened through the hooks and folds and simply taken off when no longer needed for training. The added weight and tighter fit of this medium creates less energy loss during quick movements and serves to ensure athletes are better able to fine-tune their running and agility. The disclosed training speed agility shoe responds to athlete-specific needs and facilitates speed across every position by generating traction for maximum acceleration. This innovative, top-quality product offers users with a fully-operational, highly adaptable accessory for cleats that may enhance performance and skills.

Although the operations of the method(s) herein are shown and described in a particular order, the order of the operations of each method may be altered so that certain operations may be performed in an inverse order or so that certain operations may be performed, at least in part, concurrently with other operations. In another embodiment, instructions or sub-operations of distinct operations may be implemented in an intermittent and/or alternating manner.
