Cleat Guard

Abstract

The Cleat Guard is a device used to protect the sole, studs, and spikes of all athletic cleats; including, but not limited to, soccer, football, baseball, and golf. The Cleat Guard will also protect surfaces on which wearers of The Cleat Guard walk that would otherwise be harmed by the studs of cleats. The Cleat Guard can be made of a variety of materials and will be sized and shaped to fit securely onto the athletic cleat.

1 . The Cleat Guard is unlike any type of accessory currently available for athletic footwear.  
   
   
       2 . The Cleat Guard will not only help protect the studs and soles of cleats, but it will also help protect the surface of any floor that would otherwise be damaged by cleats. The Cleat Guard allows its wearer to walk on any surface as if he or she were wearing sneakers, rather than worrying about damage to either the floor or the studs of his or her cleats.  
   
   
       3 . The Cleat Guard is for all types of cleats with studs, regardless of the shape, size, or composition of the studs.  
   
   
       4 . One type of The Cleat Guard will be made to fit individual cleats, by size and style. Another type of The Cleat Guard is a pre-made rubber (or some combination of rubber and other polymers or plastics) that could be molded to fit any cleat at the beginning of use of The Cleat Guard.
