ABSTRACT:
A sport shoe cleat especially for golf shoes has a main body member having a dome-shaped outer face and a planar inner face, a threaded stud molded integrally with the main body member and projecting outwardly from the inner face. A plurality of pseudo pyramid-shaped teeth projecting around the perimeter of the main body member, each of the pseudo pyramid-shaped teeth having an outward angle to provide lateral stability and traction through the plane of a sports swing. The traction teeth have a low profile to reduce damage to putting green surfaces for example. The body member has a wear pad at the center of said dome-shaped outlet face, the wear pad being a weight-bearing surface such as to support the majority of the body weight placed on the cleat and keeping weight off the traction teeth to prolong the life of the traction teeth and the cleat. The dome shape and wear pad being adapted so that the body weight is directed toward the center of the cleat so that it wears from the inside out and that as the cleat wears from the inside out, the traction teeth also wear in an outward manner to allow the traction teeth to maintain the outward angle needed to provide lateral traction throughout the life of the cleat.
