US Patent 8490303 Sole for a golf shoe

An outer sole for a golf shoe includes a plurality of cleats distributed along a forefoot area and a heel area. The cleats are integrated with the outer sole and extend from a surface of the outer sole that faces away from the shoe. The cleats are essentially cross-shaped, and the arms of the cross are preferably connected via arc sections. Such outer sole for a golf shoe gives good traction on the golf course but is also useable as a casual shoe off the golf course.
