Abstract: A sole for a sports shoe comprises a plurality of fixing protrusions projecting from the underside of the sole, and a sleeve member which is fitted over each protrusion. The protrusion has a shoulder defining a retaining surface engaged by latching hooks on the sleeve member. In the engaged position of the latching hooks, a portion thereof still projects outwardly of the sleeve member. A cap-like member defining a gripping projection or stud is fitted over the sleeve member on each protrusion, and is engaged with the outwardly projecting portions of the latching hooks so as to be retained in place, while also securing the latching hooks engaged with the retaining surface of the shoulder.
