Abstract: A pair of golf shoes is provided in which each shoe includes a sole and heel having an increased thickness along the outer edge thereof. The sole has a maximum thickness adjacent the ball of the foot and tapers to a uniform thickness at the toe, at the instep and along a centerline. The heel maximum thickness tapers to a uniform thickness along a centerline. The shoes cause a golfer to automatically assume the proper stance and weight distribution when addressing the ball, and to automatically shift the weight from the rear foot to the front foot during a swing.

Abstract: Adapters for insertion into golf shoes are provided to cause the golfer to automatically assume a proper stance and to properly shift the weight from the rear foot to the front foot during a swing. The adapters comprise a pair of insoles, each having a leather insole of uniform thickness and a resilient insole portion attached to the leather insole and covering a portion along the outer edge of the leather insole. The resilient portion produces a thickened area adjacent the ball of the foot and over the heel area along the outer edge of the leather insole.
