Abstract
A spike intended for a golf shoe comprises: a spike body provided with a rear-end flange in a rear-end surface of which a small center hole is provided; a dish-like metallic plate having a central opening and a dish-like concave portion which corresponds in configuration to the rear-end flange of the spike body; and a fixing plate provided with a metallic disk body, a center pin provided in a central portion of the metallic disk body at its front surface so as to be inserted into the small center hole of the spike body, and a threaded shaft provided in a central position of a rear surface of the metallic disk body. In such spike, the spike body is inserted into the central opening of the metallic plate and embedded therein, and receives at the small center hole thereof the center pin of the fixing plate so that the spike body and the metallic plate are assembled and integrally fixed to each other together with the fixing plate by spot-welding a peripheral portion of the fixing plate to the metallic plate.
