AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a special kind of shoe tire called a tread system. It was made to help people who have to walk on oily, wet, or icy floors at work. The tires have bumps all over their soles that make it harder for them to slide on these surfaces. These bumps also give better traction when trying to move around on uneven ground. There are two types of tires: One helps keep liquid off the floor so the other can stick to it, and the other covers the rest of the shoe but has extra-large steps to stop sliding sideways.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is creating a shoe tread system that can better protect workers who use them on slippery surfaces, especially if they are trying to step up after a rain shower or during workouts in sweatpants. Previous designs had issues with providing proper traction and comfort for both running and walking activities.

Abstract

The invention involves a tread system for shoes More specifically, the present invention is a tread combination that is particularly suited to work environments where the workers are required to use a walking gait upon slick floor surfaces, some of which may be partially covered with liquids. The system includes an outsole having a heel strike tread having a pointed leading edge with sipes for squeegeeing and channeling liquid away from the center portion of the tread to prevent forward slippage. The mid and forefoot portions of the outsole are provided with cross siped treads which reduce or prevent sideways slippage of the forefoot.
