ABSTRACT:
An athletic shoe is including an outer sole having at least one notched cleat of resilient material molded integral or removable to the lower surface of the shoe sole. In one embodiment, a plurality of notched cleats are disposed throughout the shoe sole. In a second embodiment, a plurality of notched cleats extend outwardly from and are disposed along the perimeter of the sole. Both embodiments provide an improved measure of lateral stability. The notch defining surfaces of the cleat act as teeth to cut through and displace the ground to provide good traction under wet or dry conditions on soft or hard surfaces. A plurality of other cleats of different shapes and ground-engaging surface areas than the notched cleats may also be molded integral or removable to the outer sole. The athletic shoe is for use in sports such as football, soccer, baseball, or ultimate frisbee played on natural grass, dirt, or other soft or hard surfaces.
