It is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
Every shoe has a sole with a unique tread. The tread design enables and enhances different types of foot mobility and friction basis the surface of the ground on which the outsole touches when in motion, wherein the tread may be a predefined molded shape in the outer sole and can be further modified by adding or removing different types of studs to receptacles within the outer sole. The objective of the outer-sole with different tread designs, with or without studs and cleats, is to ensure sufficient dispersion of water for the wearer to slide easily and yet maintain balance and traction during anterior and lateral direction movement.
Therefore, the coefficient of friction is the key variable basis different types of sole designs with or without studs and cleats.
On icy, wet and oily surfaces, the coefficient of friction can be as low as 0.1μ with shoes that don't have slip-resistant soles.
