Problem Statement
A typical problem for running shoes is spike damage when walking on hard surfaces. Often, runners are required to walk on concrete which can cause spike damage and ultimately decrease spike performance. The purpose of my design is to prevent track spike damages.
Primary Metrics
Durability,
Comfort,
Safety
Problem Assumptions
It will be assumed that the design is durable, comfortable and safe. The design is intended for running demographics ranging from beginner to pro athlete.

Multiple Solutions
Strategy 1: Design a highly durable spike riser to support a runner and protect spikes
Strategy 2: Design a comfortable slip-on spike shield for a cross country runner
Strategy 3: Design a safe spike alternative that replaces spikes for a pro athlete
Lessons Learned
Material selection and designing for loads are highly important for my design.
My design materials will require failure testing.
The brainstorming process requires a significant amount of time
The design can change over time
