Abstract: A golf shoe and a sole for a golf shoe wherein a number of cleats are provided. The cleats are directional in that they provide different amounts of resistance to lateral movement relative to the ground in different radial directions. The sole advantageously comprises a forepart and a heel part joined by torsion resistant beam. The sole advantageously has a roll edge region at the inside side edge of the toe, and is further advantageously formed on the outside edge of the sole with embossments which extend downwardly and outwardly of the sole.

Abstract: An improved structure of the sole of shoes suitable for use in sports or any casual wear is characterized in that the mid-sole is provided with resilient spherical bodies within recesses in the front portion and/or the heel portion of the sole, and that the hardness of the resilient bodies can be adjusted to enhance the elasticity of the soles of the shoes by virtue of the fact that the spherical bodies can be inflated and deflated or can be bodily replaced, thereby enabling the requisite shock absorbing effect to relieve impact stress during running and fatigue during long walking to be obtained.
