TOE PROTECTOR FOR ATHLETIC FOOTWEAR HAVING REMOVABLE CLEATS

摘要

A toe protector adapted to be removably attached to an external portion of the toe-box of cleated athletic footwear having removable cleats to protect an athlete's foot from crush injuries. The toe protector includes a pair of plantar flanges, each having pair of spaced apart threaded cleat stud receiving holes used to attach the toe protector to the cleated athletic footwear. It is formed plastic, or other materials, having sufficient thickness and hardness to withstand deformation and deflect crush forces applied to the toe-box of the cleated athletic footwear. It is designed to be universally applicable to most all athletic footwear having removable cleats available from known manufacturers and can be easily transferable to other similarly sized cleated footwear.
