Abstract
A spiked pull-over golf shoe configured to at least partially surround a non-spiked shoe. The pull-over golf shoe can have a sole and a plurality of uppers, with a plurality of spikes coupled with the outsole side of the sole. A wearer can insert a regular shoe that does not have spikes into the pull-over golf shoe to gain extra traction provided by the spikes of the pull-over golf shoe.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A pull-over golf shoe, comprising:
a sole having an outsole side and an insole side; one or more uppers coupled with said sole, such that said sole and said one or more uppers at least partially define an interior space; and a plurality of spikes coupled with said outsole side, wherein said sole and said one or more uppers are flexible and selectively collapsible into a smaller form, and wherein at least one of said one or more uppers is stretchable to accommodate a shoe inserted into said interior space, such that said one or more uppers hold the shoe inside said interior space against said insole side of said sole.
2 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said on or more uppers is a planar upper that is positioned such that insertion of a shoe into said interior space stretches said planar upper away from a planar resting shape and said planar upper's resistance to stretching applies pressure against the inserted shoe.
3 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 2 , wherein said planar upper is positioned above a front portion of said sole.
4 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 3 , wherein said planar upper is coupled with one or more curved uppers that are coupled with edges of said sole.
5 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 2 , wherein said planar upper is angled downward from an opening into said interior space toward a front tip of said sole.
6 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 1 , wherein said insole side is contoured to substantially match the shape of an outsole of a dress shoe, with an indentation shaped to accept a heel protruding from the dress shoe's outsole and a ridge shaped to fit in front of the dress shoe's heel.
7 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of spikes has four prongs arranged substantially in a cross configuration extending linearly outward from a central position.
8 . The pull-over golf shoe of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of spikes is arranged on said outsole side with two spikes on a rear portion of said outsole side and three spikes on a forward portion of said outsole side.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
