Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément d'adhérence (10) qu'il est possible de fixer sous la semelle d'une chaussure, telle qu'une chaussure de football, au moyen de fixations insérées au travers de trous (14). L'élément d'adhérence (10) comporte plusieurs segments profilés (12) agissant à la fois par engagement avec le sol et en tant qu'éléments tactiles permettant une meilleur contact et une meilleure maîtrise de ballon. Les segments profilés (12) peuvent être constitués de caoutchouc, ou de matière analogue, afin de conférer une action d'adhérence. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'élément d'adhérence (10) peut faire partie intégrante de la chaussure.
