Abstract:
A replaceable golf shoe cleat comprising:(i) disc means, said disc means presenting an upper surface and an undersurface;(ii) attachment means associated with said upper surface and enabling the cleat to be removably secured to co-operating means of a shoe sole;(iii) a plurality of barb-forming elements arranged in a ring on said undersurface, each barb-forming element being aligned to project outwardly of said ring at an acute angle to said undersurface and including a free end portion presenting a ground-engaging barb, each said barb-forming element being resiliently deflectable to increase said angle between said element and said undersurface for increased penetration of said ground-engaging barb into penetrable ground whereby to increase resistance to sliding of the cleat in use over penetrable ground; and(iv) land means, said land means presenting surfaces raised from said undersurface within said ring of barb-forming elements, said land means comprising a plurality of ridge-forming blocks extending inwardly of the ring from positions adjacent to said barb-forming elements.
