 a plurality of first rows of spikes spaced apart from each other and runs along the outer periphery of the first base, the plurality of first rows disposed on a front side of the first base, wherein a rear side of the first base is configured to couple to the front portion of the sole. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first rows comprises two first rows. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises:
 a rear member comprising:
 a second base of a substantially U-shape, an outer periphery of the second base configured to align with a periphery of a rear portion of the sole, the rear portion of the sole corresponds to a heel of the foot, and 
 a plurality of second rows of spikes spaced apart from each other and runs along the outer periphery of the second base, the plurality of second rows disposed on a front side of the second base, wherein a rear side of the first base is configured to couple to the rear portion of the sole. 
   
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of second rows comprises two second rows. 
     
     
         5 . A method for converting a utility of a tennis shoe or any flat soled shoe to that of a specialized shoe having enhanced traction on ground, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a device comprising:
 a front member comprising:
 a first base of a substantially U-shape, an outer periphery of the first base configured to align with a periphery of a front portion of a sole, the front portion of the sole corresponds to a toe and a ball of a foot, and 
 a plurality of first rows of spikes spaced apart from each other and runs along the outer periphery of the first base, the plurality of first rows disposed on a front side of the first base, wherein a rear side of the first base is configured to couple to the front portion of the sole; and 
 
   applying the front member to the sole of the sports shoe.   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the device further comprises a rear member, the rear member comprising:
 a second base of a substantially U-shape, an outer periphery of the second base configured to align with a periphery of a rear portion of the sole, the rear portion of the sole corresponds to a heel of the foot, and   a plurality of second rows of spikes spaced apart from each other and runs along the outer periphery of the second base, the plurality of second rows disposed on a front side of the second base, wherein a rear side of the first base is configured to couple to the rear portion of the sole,   wherein the method further comprises the steps of applying the rear member to the sole of the sports shoe.   
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the specialized shoe is for a sports selected from a group consisting of golf, soccer, baseball, softball, football, tracking, and hiking.
