Versatility Reimagined

Empowering Athletes to Dominate Every Surface

About Protean Footwear

Currently, athletes need to carry three different pairs of shoes to be prepared for the various field conditions they may encounter. These include: turf, metal, and molded cleats.

The solution to this problem is Protean Footwear. Protean Footwear combines the advantages of three different pairs of shoes into one pair. This makes athletic bags lighter and allows for athletes to put more necessary equipment they need in their bags so they can perform their best.

Using our patent pending technology of having interchangeable soles, Protean Footwear allows athletes to change out the soles of their shoes to adapt to various field conditions.

Softball Clinic Interest

About the Founder

My name is Michaela. After playing fastpitch softball for 15 years, I began to notice the difficulties of carrying 3 different pairs of shoes to all games to be prepared for any field conditions that could be encountered. Bringing this many pairs of shoes was a challenge with having a limited amount of space.

During an Introduction to Business course, Protean Footwear began in 2023 to help athletes save money, save space, and easily be able to interchange the soles of their shoes.

Prototype Feedback

"I LOVE the idea. It seems simple enough to change them. The less us athletes have to carry the better! I typically carry at least 2 pairs of metals and turfs when I am playing, plus I have to carry my shoes for the gym. I personally go through many pairs a season."
