Improving Your Traction And Sports Performance With Cleats
Bill Urell
Cleated shoes are a special type of footwear where the bottom of
the sole is covered in large nubs or slender spikes so that they
have improved traction over a wide range of outdoor surfaces.
There are two main types of cleated shoes.
Ice Cleats:
Ice cleats are designed to allow one to walk with a sure gait
across large expanses of ice without falling on, and wounding
one's pride (Buttocks.) Hockey and figure skating coaches, as
well as referees overseeing ice sports are likely the first
people you'll find wearing ice cleats. While ice cleats can be
useful, they are not recommended footwear for the casual
ice-rink visitor (though someone working therein will likely own
a pair.) Also, Ice Cleats are often banned from school gyms
because they leave all but irremovable stains and marks on
hardwood, linoleum, and other shiny surfaces.
The bottoms of ice cleats look significantly different from
other shoes in the same family: the traction spikes are situated
to help one gain their footing on slick, possibly dangerous
surfaces, unlike sporting cleats. There are even ice cleats that
one can purchase to fit over an existing pair of boots or shoes,
and then take off when they get inside.
Also, for the infirm, there is a cheap but effective ice cleat
available at most pharmacies that attaches to the rubber shoe of
a cane. If you're looking for a good pair of cleated ice shoes,
check out Cozy Winters online. They have a wide selection of
attachable ice cleats.
Sporting Cleats:
Sporting cleats are made for playing a variety of sprots.
Sometimes referred to as baseball cleats, sporting cleats are
used in all manner of sports (including Quidditch, no doubt).
The idea behind sporting cleats is to allow players maximum
traction while they are running, and to allow them firm footing.
These types of cleats come in two main styles: molded bottoms,
and metal bottoms. Metal bottomed cleats are, for more than one
reason, banned from most youth sporting events: violent
outbreaks and accidents among children at play are common enough
without them wearing large, metallic spikes on the bottoms of
their feet. Metal bottomed cleats are often used in golf.Molded
rubber cleats are for more common, especially in sports where
accidentally (or not-so-accidentally) kicking another player
becomes a danger. They also tend to be far less expensive. You
can find this variety of cleated shoe at almost any sporting
good store, but if you're looking for a source online, you might
just want to check out Puma. Though they list their products as
Soccer cleats, their products are well made and suitable for
just about every sport.
