ABSTRACT:
A cycling shoe and outsole with a rotatable cleat are disclosed. The outsole includes a thin, rigid outsole plate and a thin, flat, cleat support plate that partially extends beyond the perimeter border of the outsole plate. The cleat is configured to detachably attach to and release from a clipless pedal. A mechanism connects the cleat to the cleat support plate in a transversely off-center position, and in a manner which permits limited rotatability between the cleat and the support plate.
