Spike-Saver

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Track shoes are usually carried by hand or in a container. Sometimes, athletes will wear the track shoe dulling the spikes. On other occasions, the athlete will sometimes wear slippers, tennis shoes or nothing at all until he/she is ready to perform. The use of the Spike-Saver shoe increases the life of the spikes.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Spike-Saver is a sport shoe that covers the spikes of a track shoe. The shoe can be worn over track shoes until ready for use. It eliminates taking off the track shoe when not in use to avoid dulling the spikes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The Spike-Saver is a half shoe that covers just the spikes of the track shoe. The shoes are made of highly stretchable natural rubber for easy entry and removability. It is light weight and durable with extra traction.

A fastener covers the top of the shoe. It contains an area for the athlete's name. A second fastener covers the heel. Both fasteners use Velcro.

The toe area consists of more rubber material that provides extra padding for the spikes. The shoes come in three sizes that will fit foot sizes of 4 through 7, 8 through 12 and 13 through 18. Additional sizes can be provided for smaller or larger sizes. The initial shoe colors will be black or white. Additional colors will be added later. The shoe can be easily cleaned with soap and water.
