Impossible to remove worn spikes on this shoe. Adidas must have superglued them on.  The soft spike part of the cleat tears off after a few months of heavy use and then it's time to toss the shoes. Bought a couple pair but even at $39 that's not much of a value. I've read that they are banned I Europe because they are hard on the greens, and can understand why. You do have to walk very gingerly on the greens.
