Equidium

For my capstone, I chose to enhance the most recent soccer cleat design with a built-in sock for the boot to be more true to the body of the athlete. With ankle injuries being the most common injury in soccer, I designed a cleat with an ankle protection pattern built into the sock to prevent injuries from impact and hyper-extensions. This brace allows the player’s ankle to still have full motion and rotation when necessary, yet limiting after stretching far enough where the ankle might be in danger to prevent major injuries like sprains and fractures.
