Reversible cleat with shock absorption
First Claim
1. A system for securing a reversible cleat, comprising:
- a securing mechanism;
an anchoring mechanism adapted to be attached to a sole of a shoe;
a cleat having a first side and a second side and placed between said securing mechanism and said anchoring mechanism;
a spring proximate to said cleat for absorbing shock;
wherein said second side faces toward said anchoring mechanism when said securing mechanism is removably secured to said anchoring mechanism; and
wherein said second side is repositioned to face away from said anchoring mechanism by removing said securing mechanism from said anchoring mechanism, removing and repositioning said cleat with said second side facing away from said anchoring mechanism, and removably securing said securing mechanism to said anchoring mechanism.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for securing a reversible cleat having a securing mechanism, an anchoring mechanism adapted to be attached to a sole of a shoe, and a cleat having a first side and a second side and placed between the securing mechanism and the anchoring mechanism. The cleat is further supported by a spring proximately placed to the cleat for absorbing shock. The second side faces toward the anchoring mechanism when the securing mechanism is removably secured to the anchoring mechanism. The second side is repositioned to face away from the anchoring mechanism by removing the securing mechanism from the anchoring mechanism, removing and repositioning the cleat with the second side facing away from the anchoring mechanism, and removably securing the securing mechanism to the anchoring mechanism.

10. A system for securing a reversible cleat, comprising:
-
a securing mechanism;
an anchoring mechanism adapted to be attached to a sole of a shoe;
said securing mechanism having a sole side with at least one extension extending from said sole side;
said anchoring mechanism having at least one pocket;
a cleat having a first side and a second side and placed between said securing mechanism and said anchoring mechanism;
a moisture absorbing material proximate to said cleat for reducing moisture;
wherein said second side faces toward said anchoring mechanism when said at least one extension of said securing mechanism is removably placed in said at least one pocket of said anchoring mechanism; and
wherein said second side is repositioned to face away from said anchoring mechanism by removing said at least one extension of said securing mechanism from said at least one pocket of said anchoring mechanism, removing and repositioning said cleat with said second side facing away from said anchoring mechanism, and removably placing said at least one extension of said securing mechanism in said at least one pocket of said anchoring mechanism. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
