Anwar Stetson
You’ve probably seen enough young hoopers enter the gym in flip flops to know that basketball shoes can only be worn on indoor grounds. Well, one rising company has a solution to this problem.
Glide Soles is a Custom Sole Protection brand created to protect athletes’ sneakers, cleats, and court shoes. They claim to stop heel drag, dirt, and wear, keeping shoes clean for maximum performance. They’re customizable, and full of swag.
Let’s check them out.
The company uses custom sole protectors that snap onto sneakers, cleats, and court shoes to block heel drag, dirt, and scuff marks. With this approach, athletes now have a practical way to protect their footwear while keeping a customized style that isn’t too bulky or heavy.
Their protective soles are priced at $50.00 per pair for standard single-color versions. Some colors include matte black, white, icy, and red. Each sole protector is designed to fit a wide range of flat-soled shoes, so athletes can use the same accessory on running shoes or cleats.
The brand also sells a bundle including three pairs of different-colored soles for $36.00 online.
Sizes range from XS (US 5-6.5) to XL (US 13-15) to accommodate different athletes. The products promise slip-resistant grip and all-terrain traction while keeping shoes lighter on the foot.
Glide Soles markets its products on durability, noting that these replaceable soles guard outsoles against abrasion that often thins tread and forces shoes into early retirement. The brand also highlights removable and interchangeable style options so that users can change looks without buying new sneakers.
If you’re a young athlete, it’s important to develop good habits and discipline to keep your shoes clean. But for an extra layer of protection, there’s Glide Soles.
