Abstract

Golf shoes are revealed. The golf shoes include auxiliary supports arranged at the positions which golf players'"'"' center of gravity shifted to during the strike. Thus the center of gravity of the player changed during the swing is supported by the auxiliary supports for maintaining the lower body of the player stable throughout the lift. The power of the strike is maintained due to the firm lower body. The accuracy is also good, not affected by changes of the center of gravity of the body. Therefore the player can swing through easily and have a nice shoot smoothly.

Claims

1. Golf shoes comprising:

an auxiliary support extending from and disposed along a left edge of both of a left shoe sole and a right shoe sole;

a receptacle connected to each of the left shoe sole and the right shoe sole, the receptacle including a polygonal socket with a threaded hole centrally located therethrough;

a plurality of spikes, one end of each spike being connected to an underside of a polygonal assembly block and another end engaging with a ground surface, the spikes being orientated around a centrally located hole in the assembly block with the spikes disposed adjacent to the auxiliary support being longer than non-adjacent spikes; and

a screw passing through the assembly block and engaging with the threaded hole in the receptacle to permit connection of the assembly block to the receptacle.

2. Golf shoes comprising:

an auxiliary support extending from and disposed along a right edge of both of a left shoe sole and a right shoe sole;

a receptacle connected to each of the left shoe sole and the right shoe sole, the receptacle including a polygonal socket with a threaded hole centrally located therethrough;

a plurality of spikes, one end of each spike being connected to an underside of a polygonal assembly block and another end engaging with a ground surface, the spikes being orientated around a centrally located hole in the assembly block with the spikes disposed adjacent to the auxiliary support being longer than non-adjacent spikes; and

a screw passing through the assembly block and engaging with the threaded hole in the receptacle to permit connection of the assembly block to the receptacle.

3. Golf shoes comprising:

a left shoe sole and a right shoe sole, each of the left shoe sole and the right shoe sole having an auxiliary support extending from and disposed along one side thereof, the one side of each of the left and right shoe soles being a side corresponding to a user'"'"'s dominant hand;

a receptacle connected to each of the left shoe sole and the right shoe sole, the receptacle having a threaded hole formed therein;

a plurality of spikes extending from a first side of a base, the base having a centrally located hole; and

a screw passing through the central hole in the base and engaging with the threaded hole in the receptacle for coupling therewith;

wherein the receptacle includes a polygonal socket with the threaded hole being centrally located therethrough, and the base includes a polygonal assembly block extending from a central portion of a second side thereof for mating engagement within polygonal socket of the receptacle, a portion of the plurality of spikes being longer than a remaining portion thereof, the longer spikes being positioned adjacent to the auxiliary support.
