As in automobile tires, the purpose of the tread is to increase traction (friction). They increase the surface area of shoe-to-ground contact.. Further, the tread forces softer ground to mold to its shape, allowing more lateral force to be applied to each step. All this increases the traction between your shoes and the ground and allows better control of movement (allows more applied energy to each step with less slippage).
