The present invention relates to collapsible snowshoes. In one embodiment, a collapsible snowshoe includes a collapsible frame, a webbing and a binding. The collapsible snowshoe frame includes a first pair of bars, a second pair of bars, a pair of joints and a center bar securing the pair of joints to each other. The second pair of bars are each collapsible and include bar sections that are removably coupled to each other. The pair of joints is coupled to the corresponding first end of each of the first pair of bars, and is also coupled to the corresponding first end of each of the second pair of bars.

A support interface apparatus removably couplable to a cleated cycling shoe to enable the user to walk on an underlying substrate with minimal slipping on the substrate and/or minimal damage to the underlying substrate by the cleat. The apparatus includes a base pad and a cleat cavity located in the front portion of the base pad. The cleat cavity includes a perimeter, a base, and a cleat-retaining space established by the perimeter and the base. The cleat cavity is arranged for removably retaining the cleat of the cycling shoe therein so that the user may walk on the underlying surface without the heel and the cleat making direct contact with the underlying substrate.

The invention provides a shoe spike with elasticity and grip, comprising a mounting part arranged at the bottom of a shoe sole, wherein the bottom of the mounting part is provided with a guiding column, and the top of the guiding column is clamped into the inside of the mounting part; an elastic part is provided on the bottom of the mounting part and on the surface of the guiding column, and the elastic part is hollow. When the wearer steps on the ground to make the ground contacting part contact the ground and receives pressure, the elastic part and the ground contacting part move upwards along the guiding column for a certain distance synchronously; the elastic part shrinks and produces elastic deformation, thereby generating elastic force; the ground contacting part is made of hard material, which produces sufficient grip.

A midsole traction device is described. The midsole traction device comprises a first base portion; a second base portion and a flexible connector portion connecting the first base portion to the second base portion. The first base portion comprises a first traction aid on a first side of the midsole traction device. The second base portion comprising a second traction aid of the first side of the midsole traction device. The second traction aid is different to the first traction aid.

A stud of an outsole structure includes: a tubular body having a ground contact portion that comes into contact with ground, and a hole passing through the stud upward from the ground contact portion; a core disposed inside the hole and extending vertically; and a plurality of partition walls disposed above the ground contact portion and extending radially from the core toward an inner wall surface of the tubular body. An outsole body has a plurality of locking portions disposed below the partition walls. Each of the locking portions is locked to an associated one of the partition walls in a state in which an upper end portion of the locking portion is in contact with a lower end portion of the associated partition wall.

A midsole protection device is provided. The device includes a closed loop elastomeric sidewall band. In a fully relaxed state, the sidewall approximates the outer shape of a sneaker and cooperates with the sneaker to substantially cover and protect its midsole while leaving the upper substantially exposed. The device grips the sneaker between an upper edge and a bottom flange. The upper edge and flange structures cooperate to retain the device in a fixed position on the sneaker. The midsole protection device may also include one or more iridescent colors, a camouflage or other pattern, or a logo such as a logo of a favorite sports team or a logo of a sneaker manufacturer.

A breathable stationary bicycle shoe for use with a stationary bicycle. The bicycle shoe of the present disclosure may preferably include a breathable lightweight mesh upper, allowing for greater breathability and comfort compared to existing bicycle shoes. The breathable stationary bicycle shoe may comprise a bottom portion equipped with a cleat, such as a clipless bicycle pedal cleat, such as an SPD® cleat, which may allow it to securely connect to the pedals of a stationary bike.

An apparatus is provided that includes a sole cover. The sole cover is configured to be removably attached to a sole of a shoe to cover the sole of the shoe. The sole cover includes a first covering section and a second covering section, where the first covering section is configured to cover the sole of the shoe at a toe box portion of the shoe. The second covering section is configured to cover the sole of the shoe at a waist portion of the shoe. The first covering section angles upwardly and away from the second covering section at an angle relative to the second covering section at an angle relative to the second covering section when the second covering section lies flat on a horizontal plane in an undeformed state. The sole cover is of a sufficient elasticity that enables the first covering section to bend downwardly when the sole cover is attached to the sole of the shoe. The angle and elasticity are of sufficient values to urge the sole cover against a bottom of the sole of the shoe to help secure the sole cover to the sole of the shoe when the sole cover is attached to the sole of the shoe.

The present application provides for a shoe cover for protecting cleated shoes from contact with the ground while also allowing the wearer to run or engage in sporting activities while wearing the product, as well as kits that include the shoe cover and methods for the use and manufacturing of the shoe cover. A shoe cover as provided herein includes a sole, a first cover, a second cover, a first fastener, and a second fastener. Another shoe cover as provided herein includes a sole, a cover, and a fastener.
