Abstract:
Ground-engaging components for articles of footwear include: (a) an outer perimeter boundary rim that at least partially defines an outer perimeter of the ground-engaging component; and (b) an inner perimeter boundary rim that at least partially defines an inner perimeter of the ground-engaging component, wherein an open space is defined between a lateral side portion of the inner perimeter boundary rim and a medial side portion of the inner perimeter boundary rim.

Claim (Index 19):
An article of footwear having a longitudinal direction and a longitudinal length L extending from a rearmost heel location of the article of footwear to a forwardmost toe location of the article of footwear, the article of footwear comprising:\n an upper; a midsole engaged with the upper; a U-shaped ground engaging component engaged with the midsole, the U-shaped ground engaging component including:\n a lateral side forefoot support area, \n an anterior forefoot support area, \n a medial side forefoot support area, wherein an open space is defined between the lateral side forefoot support area and the medial side forefoot support area, \n a first free end located at a lateral side of the U-shaped ground engaging component, wherein a rearmost extent of the first free end is located between planes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the article of footwear and located at 0.275 L and 0.6 L measured forward from the rearmost heel location, and \n a second free end located at a medial side of the U-shaped ground engaging component, wherein the first free end extends further posterior than does the second free end, and wherein a rearmost extent of the second free end is located between planes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the article of footwear and located at 0.4 L and 0.65 L measured forward from the rearmost heel location; and \n a plurality of track spikes engaged with the U-shaped ground engaging component, wherein the plurality of track spikes includes: (a) a first track spike engaged with the U-shaped ground engaging component at the lateral side forefoot support area, (b) a second track spike engaged with the U-shaped ground engaging component and located anterior of the first track spike, (c) a third track spike engaged with the U-shaped ground engaging component at the medial side forefoot support area, and (d) a fourth track spike engaged with the U-shaped ground engaging component and located anterior of the third track spike.
