1. A method for ordering a customized cleat arrangement for an article of footwear, comprising the steps of:
- interacting with a graphical interface system;
selecting a first pre-designed cleat arrangement from a group of pre-designed cleat arrangements, the first pre-designed cleat arrangement including an outer plate representation having pre-defined cleat locations and a pre-defined number of cleats;
selecting a graphics tool from a set of graphics tools associated with the graphical interface system;
modifying the outer plate representation displayed within the graphical interface system using the selected graphics tool to alter the first-designed cleat arrangement such that at least one of the pre-defined cleat locations or the pre-defined number of cleats is changed to create a customized cleat arrangement;
displaying the customized cleat arrangement including at least one changed pre-defined cleat location or changed pre-defined number of cleats within the graphical interface system; and
submitting a finalized design including a modified outer plate representation having the customized cleat arrangement including at least one changed pre-defined location or changed pre-defined number of cleats, and ordering the article of footwear.
