Shoe Traction Attachment

Abstract

An adhesively attached shoe sole product with forward directed grooves to prevent a loss of traction when the foot is moving in a forward direction, the product conforming to the toe and outer perimeter of the shoe sole and being attached by a permanent or temporary adhesive to the existing shoe sole.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shoe traction attachment applied to a lower sole of a right shoe or a left shoe at a front portion of said sole enhancing traction as a wearer moves his foot forward, said attachment comprising: a flat arch shaped curvilinear wafer defining an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface having a flat profile and providing an adhesive material to attach said upper surface to said sole of said shoe and said lower surface defining a plurality of concentric forward thrust extensions, said flat arch shaped curvilinear wafer conforming to a shape of said front portion of said sole, each said forward thrust extension having an axial line of projection in a forward direction to avert slippage in a forward direction during walking causing a loss of balance to the rear. 
     
     
         2 . The shoe traction attachment as disclosed in  claim 1 , said adhesive material being a temporary adhesive allowing for removal of said attachment subsequent to intended use. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe traction attachment as disclosed in  claim 1 , said adhesive material being a permanent adhesive for permanent placement of said upper surface of said attachment to said sole. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe traction attachment as disclosed in  claim 1 , said forward thrust extensions forming a concentric pattern and extending across the entire said lower surface of said flat arch shaped curvilinear wafer. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe traction attachment as disclosed in  claim 1 , said each forward thrust extension within the plurality is flexible and deformable, returning to a static position upon release of pressure upon each said forward thrust extension, and has a different length, dependant upon the contour of the sole to which it is applied. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe traction attachment as disclosed in  claim 1 , said each forward thrust extension within the plurality is flexible and deformable, returning to a static position upon release of pressure upon each said forward thrust extension, and has a uniform length.
