ABSTRACT:
The invention is a shoe cleat assembly which when incorporated into the outsole of a shoe will provide a shoe cleat that may be conveniently and easily changed by lifting out the installed cleat and pressing in the replacement. In the preferred embodiment the cleat assembly comprises a cleat body and a cooperating receptacle. The cleat body has a cleat surface and an attachment stud having an axial longitudinal bore. The receptacle is incorporated into a shoe outsole and has an elongated cavity with a central post. In operation, the cleat body is pressed into the receptacle wherein the attachment stud enters the cavity and the axial longitudinal bore of the attachment stud receives the post within the cavity. In this manner the cleat body is removably and resiliently received and frictionally engaged by the receptacle. The cleat assembly may be fabricated from a broad variety of materials that provide the required strength, durability, friction and resiliency properties.
