It should be appreciated that thewalls 20 may have a zig-zag pattern or any closed pattern such as a rounded wave pattern or other suitable pattern. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thewalls 28 form a plurality of diamond-shaped receptacles orrecesses 42 arranged in rows extending between the medial andlateral sides outsole 20. Each of the diamond-shaped recesses 42 includes four angled orslanted surfaces 44 that extend from atop edge 46 of thewalls 28 to acenter point 48 of the respective recess. Therecesses 42 also include a plurality ofsteps 49 or ridges that gradually decrease the width of the recess from the top edge of the walls to the center point. The narrowingrecesses 42 enable a tooth on a bicycle pedal to be easily inserted into the wider top opening of each recess while securing the tooth in the narrowed bottom portion of that recess. Thus, the teeth on a pedal easily engage and are securely held in therecesses 42 when theoutsole 20 of the shoe engages the pedal. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 3 , thetoe tread portion 24 of theoutsole 20 includes rearwardly-facing, overlappinglugs 50 that enhance the gripping of the outsole on an underlying surface or terrain such as rocks, gravel, dirt or other surfaces. It is contemplated that thetoe tread portion 24 may have one or a plurality of thelugs 50. Eachlug 50 is formed by a pair ofangled walls 52 connected by astraight wall 54 where each of thewalls outer surface 56. In the illustrated embodiment, one or more of thewalls outer surfaces 57 that form an undercut 59 (FIG. 3 ) for enabling thelugs 50 to dig into and grip the ground. Thelugs 50 extend from the medial tolateral sides peripheral edge 34 of theoutsole 20. Additionally, the rearwardly facinglugs 50 slant upwardly from the front of the shoe to the rear of the shoe. This allows thelugs 50 to act as teeth that engage and dig into an underlying surface or terrain such as when a user is walking on a flat surface or up a mountain or hill. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 4 , theheel tread portion 26 includes a plurality oflugs 58 that face forwardly or toward thetoe portion 36 of the shoe and overlap each other as described above. Theselugs 58 haveangled walls 60 forming a triangular shape that are separated by a flat orstraight wall 62. Theouter surface 64 of each of the walls is generally straight or flat, but may be angled to form an undercut 66. It should be appreciated that theheel tread portion 26 may include one or a plurality of thelugs 58 where the lugs may be arranged laterally (extending between the medial tolateral sides lugs 50 on thetoe tread portion 24, thelugs 58 on theheel tread portion 26 are angled or sloped upwardly from theheel portion 38 toward thetoe portion 36 of theoutsole 20 and form teeth-like structures that help grip theheel tread portion 26 to the underlying terrain when a user is stopped on a downward sloping incline, slippery surface or other similar surface. It should be appreciated that thelugs 58 on theheel tread portion 26 may be any suitable size and shape. - The
peripheral edge 34 of theoutsole 20 includes a plurality of recesses ornotches 68 that vary in size. Thesenotches 68 help to displace dirt or gravel from theoutsole 20 and away from the shoe. It should be appreciated that thenotches 68 on theperipheral edge 34 of theoutsole 20 may be any suitable size or shape. - The
outsole 20 is made by first inserting a first material into a press mold that compresses the first material to form thecentral tread portion 22 of the outsole. After thecentral tread portion 22 is formed, the same material is placed adjacent to thecentral tread portion 22 to form theperipheral edge 34, thetoe tread portion 24 and theheel tread portion 26 of the outsole. Accordingly, the central, toe andheel tread portions outsole 20 are co-molded using a press mold or any suitable molding process. - In operation, a user places their shoe, and more specifically, the
outsole 20 of their shoe onto a bicycle pedal by sliding theoutsole 20 laterally onto the pedal so that the teeth engage therecesses 42 in between thewalls 28 of thecentral tread portion 22 and slide laterally within thechannels 40 between thewalls 28 until the user's foot is positioned stably on the pedal. The teeth on the pedal engage therecesses 42 so that if the user's foot moves forward or rearward on the pedal while the teeth are engaged in the recesses, the teeth contact the adjacent zig-zagging walls 28 where the walls act as a stop to prevent the teeth from moving substantially forward or rearward relative to theoutsole 20. If the user stops riding their bike and has to place their foot or feet on the underlying terrain, thelugs 58 in the toe andheel tread portions outsole 20 to the underlying terrain and prevent the user's foot or feet from slipping or sliding on the terrain. - Referring now to
