A traction member, such as a shoe cleat, for a shoe is described.
According to one exemplary embodiment, a cleat securable to the sole of a
shoe can include a hub with an exposed surface facing away from a shoe
sole when the cleat is secured to the shoe. The cleat can further include
a first group of large traction elements and a second group of small
traction elements. The first group of large traction elements can be
circumferentially-spaced about a periphery of the hub and with each large
traction element extending downward and radially outward away from the
exposed surface of the hub. The second group of small traction elements
can be spaced-apart on and extend downward away from the exposed surface
of the hub. The large traction elements can terminate at respective foot
portions extending downward away from the hub by a first distance and the
small traction elements can terminate at respective foot portions
extending downward away from the hub by a second distance less than the
first distance. The foot portion of each large traction element can
include a generally downward facing surface that is sloped in a
circumferential direction relative to the hub.
