Benefits of technology

[0003]The soles in accordance with the present invention are designed like the top of a rock, allowing a person to use metal cleats recessed in the boot so as to avoid walking on the metal when walking from different fishing spots. An inner sole holds the boot together. It acts as a mounting surface for the cleat base of the cleats. It also provides a solid base for the boot. An outer sole acts as the walking surface when not in the water. It provides a smooth ride without sacrificing fraction which is the most important aspect of a wading boot. Furthermore, it also keeps the teeth on the cleats from wearing out. The cleat base of the cleats mounts to the inner sole. This makes a solid connection and, as one piece, prevents the cleats from folding over. The angle supports or gussets improve the strength of the cleat assembly. The cleat assembly and the pattern in which they are arranged are necessary to make this product work. Cleat curves are intended to match the contour of river rocks, which are round not flat.

Problems solved by technology

Previous tread designs are flat on the bottom, which make wading difficult and dangerous.
Newer designs have incorporated metal studs in a rubber sole but wear out fast.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The present invention relates to a design for a wading boot sole 10 for fishing to provide maximum traction on slick river bottoms and eliminate the transfer of aquatic species. The sole 10 comprises an outer bottom rim sole 14 and an inner sole 16. The inner sole 16 comprises a plurality of elongate cleat members 22 having first and second ends and including a base portion 30, a grip portion 28 formed at an angle relative to the base portion 30 and first and second gussets 32 formed at the first and second ends and extending between the base portion 30 and the grip portion 28. The grip portions 28 include a row of teeth extending along the grip portion 28 between the first and second ends. The plurality of elongate cleat members 22 extend approximately parallel and spaced apart from one another as seen in the FIGS. 1, 2 and 4-8. As seen in FIGS. 1, 6, and 8, the plurality of base portions 30 of the elongate cleat members 22 are surrounded by a matting 34 having top and bottom...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 473,971 filed on Apr. 11, 2011 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Previous tread designs are flat on the bottom, which make wading difficult and dangerous. Felt bottom boots are common but help transport invasive aquatic species which can destroy a river. Newer designs have incorporated metal studs in a rubber sole but wear out fast. A need exists for eliminating felt but offering the most traction without wear when walking down a dirt road or any other surface than the river bottom.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The soles in accordance with the present invention are designed like the top of a rock, allowing a person to use metal cleats recessed in the boot so as to avoid walking on the metal when walking from different fishing spots. An inner sole holds the boot together. It acts as a mounting surface...
