Sport shoes become street shoes with Skintek
California-based Cleatskins has introduced a new accessory designed to fit over cleated shoes to “quickly and conveniently take athletes from the field to the street”. The rubber shell can be used by soccer, baseball, football, golf and other outdoor sports players.
Two designs have been launched - Cleatskins Sole and Cleatskins Golf - both of which are constructed from Skintek rubber, a type of compression moulded rubber. Cleatskins Sole is a flexible shell that fits over plastic and rubber cleated footwear, cupping the shoe from the bottom. Cleatskins Golf offers the same protection and ease of mobility but is customised to meet the specific needs of golfers on and off the course.
“As a former athlete, I have decades of experience wearing out and replacing expensive athletic shoes,” said Rick Kay, president of Cleatskins. “We created Cleatskins to help athletes enjoy their favourite sports stylishly while saving time and money.”
