Abstract

An athletic shoe traction system which uses a plurality of miniature spikes is provided. The miniature spikes are preferably removably mounted so that they can be replaced when worn out. The miniature spikes can be formed on removable cleats similar to conventional removable cleats, or they can be provided on pads that attach to the underside of an athletic shoe, preferably in a recess provided for that purpose. Hook-and-loop type fasteners or other releasable fasteners, such as a releasable adhesive, can be used to attach the pads.
