A "RED e" cleat is a disposable, one-piece, self-adhesive, all-surface footwear cleat having four primary components: a non-skid gripping surface, designed to address all sport, game, play and work foot-traction requirements, along with advertising needs, a color or reflective enhancement for safety, a cushioning layer which enhances foot comfort, as well as light production and a bonding layer which includes a self-adhesive surface for attaching a "RED e" cleat to any footwear. These four components combine to form a disposable, one-piece, self-adhesive, all-surface footwear cleat. The "RED e" cleat respectfully replaces the need for specialty footwear, such as golf shoes, which incorporates permanently implanted or attached devices for affixing traction gear to the underside of shoes. A "RED e" cleat attaches simply and quickly to the sole and heel area of any footwear by removing a peel-off label 26 from the self-adhesive bonding surface 24 of a desired cleat size, shape, design and purpose and by pressing the self-adhesive surface 24 of the "RED e" cleat to the desired location. Removal of the "RED e" cleat is also as simple. By peeling or scraping the cleat from the surface of the footwear, the "RED e" cleat will peel away from the sole or heel leaving the footwear ready for other uses. If desired, "RED e" cleats can be left on the footwear for a more extended use. In preferred forms, the invention is utilized by attaching a "RED e" golf cleat to any footwear, a "RED e" safety cleat to any footwear, a "RED e" comfort cleat to any footwear, a "RED e" light foot cleat to any footwear, etc.
