Claims16
A traction device for wearing about a footwear mid-sole, the traction device comprising:
- a first base portion comprising a first traction aid on a first side of the first base portion;
- a second base portion comprising a second traction aid of a first side of the second base portion, the second traction aid is different from the first traction aid;
- and
- a flexible connector portion hingedly connecting the first base portion to the second base portion, the flexible connector comprising a first edge extending between the first base portion and the second base portion and a second edge extending between the first base portion and the second base portion, wherein the first edge is shorter than the second edge, thereby creating an offset angle α between the first base portion and the second base portion, when the first base portion is in a position co-planar with the second base portion;
- wherein the first base portion and the second base portion are configured for selective alternative engagement with the footwear mid-sole.
A traction device for wearing about a footwear mid-sole, the traction device comprising:
- a first base portion having first side configured to face the footwear mid-sole and a second side opposite the first side and configured to face away from the footwear mid-sole, the first base portion comprising a first interior edge wherein the first base portion extends away from the first interior edge, and the first base portion comprises a first traction aid on the second side of the first base portion;
- a second base portion having a first side configured to face the footwear mid-sole and a second side opposite the first side and configured to face away from the footwear mid-sole, the second base portion comprising a second interior edge wherein the first base portion extends away from the second interior edge, and the second base portion comprises a second traction aid on the second side of the second base portion, wherein the second traction aid is different from the first traction aid;
- and
- a flexible connector portion hingedly connecting the first interior edge of the first base portion to the second interior edge of the second base portion, wherein when the first base portion is co-planar with the second base portion, the flexible connector portion forms an acute angle between the first interior edge and the second interior edge.
