A fall prevention footwear accessory device includes a first strap configured to wrap around a footwear upper portion and sole at a ball portion of the footwear. A second strap has an attachment end rotatably connected to a first end of the first strap and a cleat region with a plurality of cleats. A first fastener rotatably connects the first strap and the second strap. A second fastener adjusts the length of a loop portion of the first strap around the footwear. The accessory facilitates temporary relocation of the second strap from a first position arranging the cleat region adjacent to the sole of the footwear to a second position arranging the cleat region over the footwear upper portion away from the sole portion.

A retractable piston cleat system which includes at least one inverted ramp in contact with and positioned to transition at least one piston cleat between a retracted and an extended position when a lever arm, or similar device, is moved between a first and a second position. In another embodiment, multiple inverted ramps are used to simultaneously transition multiple piston cleats between retracted and extended positions.

An antistatic sport device includes a basic body and a basic element placed at the basic body, made of a running surface layer and side edges. At least one of the side edges forms a contacting surface that can be turned towards the terrain. Between a rear surface of the running surface layer and the basic body, a contacting element made of an electrically conductive material is placed at least in sections. The running surface layer is electrically conductively connected to the contacting element via a discharge path and further the contacting element to the contacting surface formed by the at least one side edge. Further, a sport system has antistatic function and a sport clothing system is for such sport system.

An improved binding for footwear traction devices, snowshoes and other footwear accessories that provides adjustable lateral supports and generally even platform or foot bed. Furthermore, an improved traction device with removable rear traction component to allow for use with detachable snowshoe platform.

The present invention relates to a shoe enabling the attachment/detachment of a decoration, the shoe comprising: a base part which is coupled to the upper side of a bottom part of a shoe so as to accommodate a foot, and has a first coupling part formed on the whole or part of a surface exposed to the outside, the first coupling part being provided as a latch ring in the form of a snare; and a decoration which has a second coupling part formed on one side surface thereof that is provided as a hook corresponding to the first coupling part so that the decoration is attached/detached to the base part by means of the hook of the second coupling part latching onto the latch ring of the first coupling part. According to the present invention, since a user can directly attach a decoration or decorative cover of a desired design to a shoe, a shoe of a desired design can be directly made and used according to the demand or personality of an individual, and thus a shoe enabling the attachment/detachment of a decoration that enables high satisfaction with the shoe design can be provided.

The present disclosure is directed toward a device that can be worn over footwear to provide traction, such as on slick or slippery surfaces, in snow, or on ice. Described embodiments include footwear accessory devices comprising at least one cleat that provides traction but does not add significantly to the profile of the footwear during use. The present disclosure is also directed toward to connecting bodies that can be used to couple objects to a stretchy material.

A footwear element that includes an outer sole assembly and a flexible upper, as well as spikes projecting in the area of an outer surface of the outer sole assembly, the flexible upper including a lower portion adapted to cover the foot of a user, the flexible upper having a shoe insertion opening. The upper includes an upper portion extending the lower portion in a direction away from the outer sole assembly, the upper portion being provided to cover at least the ankle of the user, or the ankle and a portion of the lower leg.

Footwear element including a flexible outer sole assembly and a flexible upper, the footwear element extending lengthwise from a rear end to a front end, widthwise between a lateral portion and a medial portion, and height-wise from an outer surface of the outer sole assembly to an upper end, the footwear element having a shoe insertion opening. The footwear element includes spikes projecting from the area of the outer surface of the outer sole assembly. The footwear element includes at least one reinforcement, the reinforcement including a base and a wall, the base extending opposite the outer sole assembly outside of the footwear element, the wall extending from the base toward the upper end, also outside of the footwear element.
