Abstract:
A polymeric outsole for an article of footwear comprises: an outsole body and a tread pattern that comprises a plurality of cleats and channels between the cleats; and one or more tread ribs projecting from the outsole body. The tread ribs project a first distance from the outsole body that is shorter than a second distance that the cleats of the tread pattern project from the outsole body. The tread ribs are effective as wear indicators to indicate remaining useful life of the cleats. During a first duration of wear, the tread ribs are not in contact with a ground surface while the cleats are in contact with the ground surface, and during a second duration of wear, both the tread ribs and the cleats are in contact with the ground surface.

Claim (Index 9):
The polymeric outsole of  claim 8 , wherein the first distance that the first tread rib protrudes from the outsole body is in a range of from about 10 to about 90% of the second distance that the first projecting feature protrudes from the outsole body whereby the remaining useful life of the first projecting feature during the second duration is from about 90% to about 10%.
