Abstract
A new and improved cleat receiving shoe sole apparatus includes a flexible base member which includes a plurality of wells for receiving respective cleats of a cleated shoe, and which includes a shoe-bonding assembly for bonding the flexible base member to the cleated shoe. The shoe-bonding assembly may include a cleat-bonding assembly, located in the wells, for removably and replaceably bonding the wells to the respective cleats. The shoe-bonding assembly may include a layer of a tacky adhesive applied to a top surface of the flexible base member for adhering the flexible base member to the cleated shoe. Also, the cleat-bonding assembly may include respective layers of a tacky adhesive applied to respective inner walls of the wells, such that the flexible base member may be adhered to the cleats of the shoe. The cleat-bonding assembly may include a plurality of resilient wire bristles which project radially inward from respective inner walls of the wells, such that the flexible base member may be adhered to the cleated shoe by removable and replaceable bonding forces exerted by the resilient wire bristles in the respective wells on the respective cleats. The wells may be conically shaped, such that the cleats are wedged into the wells when the flexible base member may be attached to the cleated shoe.
