Abstract
Disclosed is a traction adjustment band for emplacement on a shoe, comprising: an upper band; a sole band; a first attachment interface connecting one end of the upper band to one end of the sole band; and a second attachment interface connecting another end of the upper band to another end of the sole band so as to form a unitary band.
Claims20
A method of adapting a shoe configured for a first physical activity into a modified shoe suitable for a second physical activity on a floor, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a traction adjustment band, said traction adjustment band including an upper band and a sole band;
- placing the traction adjustment band around the shoe such that said upper band is disposed on an upper portion of the shoe and said sole band is disposed across a sole of the shoe;
- and
- adjusting placement of said sole band on said shoe sole so as to produce the modified shoe, the modified shoe thus having a desired coefficient of friction with the floor, the desired coefficient of friction being substantially equivalent to a coefficient of friction with the floor that is provided by an activity shoe that is configured for the second physical activity.
A traction adjustment band suitable for emplacement on a shoe, the traction adjustment band comprising:
- an upper band;
- a sole band;
- a first attachment interface connecting a first end of said upper band to a first end of said sole band;
- and
- a second attachment interface connecting a second end of said upper band to a second end of said sole band so as to form a unitary band assembly configured to enclose the upper and the sole of the shoe.
A traction adjustment band suitable for emplacement on a shoe, the traction adjustment band comprising:
- an upper band including a first upper segment, a second upper segment, and a hook-and-loop fastener pair, said hook-and-loop fastener pair removably securing said first upper segment to said second upper segment;
- a sole band;
- a first attachment interface connecting one end of said upper band to one end of said sole band;
- and
- a second attachment interface connecting another end of said upper band to another end of said sole band so as to form a unitary band.
