Solution

Dear Student,
  • Grooves/spikes/cleats on the soles of shoes make the bottom surface of the shoes more rough.
  • Due to increase in roughness, the frictional force between shoes and ground increases.
  • The increase in friction gives better grip for the person with the ground and won't fall down easily.
