Abstract

A spiked shoe is for use when applying resinous coatings. The spiked shoe is attachable to a user. The spiked shoe includes a shoe and a plurality of the spikes. The shoe is attachable to a user. The plurality of spikes extend downwardly from the shoe and each spike is at an angle to the vertical and each spike has a location on the shoe. The angle of the spikes may be dependent on the location on the shoe.

1 . A spiked shoe for use when applying resinous coatings and attachable to a user comprising:
 a shoe being attachable to a user, the shoe having a front, a back, a center and sides; and   a plurality of spikes extending downwardly from the shoe and each spike being at an angle to a vertical and each spike having a location on the shoe.   
     
     
         2 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 1  wherein each angle of the plurality of spikes has an orientation angle and the orientation of each orientation angle of the plurality of spikes is dependent on the location of the spike on the shoe. 
     
     
         3 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 2  wherein each spike has a shoe end and a distal end and the spikes at the front of the shoe of the plurality of spikes are angled forwardly from the shoe end to the distal end. 
     
     
         4 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the spikes at the sides of the shoe of the plurality of spikes are angled outwardly from the shoe end to the distal end. 
     
     
         5 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the spikes at along the center of the front of the shoe of the plurality of spikes are angled forwardly from the shoe end to the distal end. 
     
     
         6 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the spikes along the center of the back of the shoe of the plurality of spikes are angled backwardly from the shoe end to the distal end. 
     
     
         7 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 1  wherein each spike of the plurality of spikes is a removable spike including a removable threaded bolt spike and a threaded nut and the threaded bolt spike extends through the shoe at an angle. 
     
     
         8 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the shoe has a spike holder formed therein and a raised boss for receiving and positioning the spike at an angle. 
     
     
         9 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 7  further including a bolt tightener for tightening the threaded nut. 
     
     
         10 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the shoe further includes a heel guard extending upwardly from the back of shoe. 
     
     
         11 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the shoe further includes a floor stop extending downwardly from the front of the shoe. 
     
     
         12 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the shoe has at least two straps. 
     
     
         13 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the strap has at least one oval hole formed therein for attachment to a post on the shoe. 
     
     
         14 . The spiked shoe as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the shoe has a front portion, a heel portion and a flex portion attachable therebetween whereby the heel portion flexes independently of the front portion. 
     
     
         15 . A spiked shoe for use when applying resinous coatings and attachable to a user comprising:
 a shoe being attachable to a user wherein the shoe has a front portion, a heel portion and a flex portion attachable therebetween whereby the heel portion flexes independently of the front portion; and   a plurality of spikes extending downwardly from the shoe.
