ABSTRACT:
An athletic shoe sole including a sole platform having a plate member slidably engaged therein for movement from a forward to a rearward position wherein the sole platform defines a plurality of ports for receiving a corresponding plurality of cleats. The cleats comprise a post having a flange attached to one end and a cleat base attached to the other. The flanges of each cleat, once inserted through the ports, passes through a corresponding plurality of key slots defined by the plate member. When the plate member is urged rearward, a slot portion of each key slot passes around the post and beneath the flange to secure the cleats to the sole platform. A threaded bolt is provided to urge the plate member between a forward and a rearward position. Bubbles are defined by the plate member about the key slot to lift the flange, post and cleat base upward and thereby urge the cleat base in pressed abutment with the sole platform. The present invention allows the user to quickly replace the cleats as required.
