Spiked Plate for Shoes Aids Sport (Jun, 1930)
Spiked Plate for Shoes Aids Sport
SPORT lovers who frequently find need for spiked shoes can easily satisfy that need by taking an old pair of shoes and applying the comparatively new spiked plate shown here. It clamps to the shoe and is held in place by a number of strong springs. It is ideal for golfers and baseball players. It is quickly detached, light weight and non-rusting. The plate can likewise be used in winter for slippery sidewalks and ice games.
Good for icy streets in the winter too.
I’m old enough to remember clamp-on roller skates, and they were a horrid idea compared to proper boot/shoe skates. I can’t see using these for baseball. Golf, perhaps.
Then again, I have worn crampons in icy conditions in the Maritimes.
Good for kicking people who walk and text in hallways…
