cleated
Fitted with studs
Cleated describes something equipped with cleats—projections or fittings that provide grip or attachment.
Cleated shoes have studs on the sole for traction on grass or turf: The players walked off the field in their cleated boots.
A cleated surface has ridges or raised strips to prevent slipping.
In nautical contexts, cleated means secured to a cleat—a T-shaped fitting for fastening ropes.
