Overshoe for sports

Abstract

An overshoe for sports is comprised of a flexible, stretchable, waterproof material with a plurality of spikes extending from the a base surface that is entirely flat. The plurality of spikes forms a circular design at the toe portion of the flat base and staggers outward so that the spikes uniformly cover the base. The design and placement of the spikes enhances the balance of the user while preventing large amounts of turf or earth from clinging to the base of the outsole. The flat base surface allows the overshoe to contour around a user's footwear of choice thus maintaining a flat surface with the ground while, at the same time, maintaining the user's comfort in his footwear of choice. The flat base surface also assists in maintaining balance while contemporaneously restricting sway and movement of other parts of the body.
