An article of footwear provided with snap-fit replaceable ground-engaging members (14), particularly snap-fit tips, and a kit and method for altering ground-engaging characteristics of an article of footwear such as an athletic shoe. An article of footwear according to the present invention includes a sole (and/or a footplate (10)) having at least one ground-engaging member in snap-fit engagement therewith. In particular, the ground-engaging member is engageable under the application of a non-rotational force (especially a manual force). According to one aspect of the present invention, a clearly discernible feedback (especially an audible feedback, such as a click or a snapping sound) is provided to clearly indicate engagement between the ground- engaging member and the sole.

Selon la présente invention, un article de chaussure comprend une semelle (et/ou une plaque-semelle (10)) possédant au moins un élément de prise avec le sol fixé par encliquetage sur celle-ci. Plus particulièrement, l'élément de prise avec le sol peut être fixé par application d'une force non rotationnelle (et notamment d'une force manuelle). Selon un aspect de la présente invention, un signal clairement perceptible (soit un signal audible tel qu'un clic ou un son d'encliquetage) permet d'indiquer clairement la fixation de l'élément de prise avec le sol sur la semelle.
