Abstract
A moulded plastics golf shoe cleat comprises a disc 14 from an upper surface of which a screw-threaded spigot (not shown) projects for attachment of the cleat to a shoe sole. A ring of barb-forming elements 16 stands on an undersurface 18 of the disc, each element comprising a convergent free-end portion forming a ground-engaging barb which terminates at an edge 24 extending tangentially of the ring. Each barb projects in a direction which makes an acute angle with the undersurface 18 of the disc 14, the barbs being resiliently deflectable to increase the angle whereby resistance to sliding of the cleat in use over penetrable ground may become increased by increased penetration of the barb into the ground. The barbs are aligned along chords to the ring, being uniformly turned out of radial alignment so as to discourage unscrewing of the cleat in use.
