Golf shoes, and specifically, to golf shoes enabling increased driving distance and precise directivity, whereby, in order to enable weight distribution, seating grooves, in which a forefoot portion (ball) and a rearfoot portion (heel) are respectively seated, are respectively formed on the front and rear of the upper surface of an insole, and anti-slip protrusions are respectively formed on one side surface of the front of the upper surface of the insole, and the other side surface of the rear of the upper surface of the insole, so as to prevent the foot from slipping and thus rotating, and thus weight distribution is easily achieved at taking stance and addressing a ball, even by only being grounded on the ground, and the foot is prevented from slipping in the golf shoes at finish.

Golf shoes having improved outsole constructions are provided. The golf shoes include upper, midsole, and outsole sections. The outsole includes a first set of arc pathways extending along the outsole in one direction. A second set of arc pathways extend along the outsole in a second direction. When the first and second arc pathways are superposed over each other, four-sided tile pieces are formed, and these tiles contain protruding traction members. In one embodiment, the tiles comprise a first protruding traction member, an opposing second protruding traction member, and a non-protruding segment disposed between the first and second traction members. Different traction zones containing different traction members are provided on the outsole. These zones provide improved multi-surface traction. In one embodiment of the outsole, there is no channeling and no trenching of the golf course turf. There is less damage to the golf course for a given amount of traction. In one embodiment, the tile pieces, first and second protruding traction members, and non-protruding segment comprise the same material and form a unitary piece. Preferably, the unitary piece is made of a rubber material. In another embodiment, a heel step region without traction members may be provided on the outsole. Additionally, spike receptacles and spikes may be provided on the outsole in addition to the traction members.

Golf shoes having improved constructions are provided. The golf shoes include upper, midsole, and outsole sections. The upper may be made of a soft, breathable leather material. The midsole includes an upper region formed from a first material such as a foamed ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA); and a lower region formed from a second material such as a foamed ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), wherein the materials have different hardness levels. A fiber-reinforced composite plate such as, for example, a carbon fiber plate is disposed in the midsole. The outsole contains different traction members arranged in a precise geometric structure that helps provide improved stability and traction.

A device for a shoe that allows converting a utility of a shoe from a normal sports shoe to a specialized shoe having high traction on ground, such as the shoes for golf, soccer, baseball, softball, football, tracking, and hiking. The device includes a front member and a rear member, both include spaced apart spikes. The front member and the rear member can be applied to an exposed surface of a sole of a shoe.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a shoe insert sized and shaped to accommodate a user's foot and fit inside a standard shoe (e.g., a golf shoe). The insert is configured with a gradient with a first height on a lateral edge and a second (lesser) height on a medial edge. In this way, the insert does not lay flat on the inside of the user's shoe but provides a gradient that stabilizes the user's weight to the center of the foot. Advantageously, the inserts allow the golfer to automatically assume a proper stance and to properly shift the body weight during a swing. As a result, the insert keeps a golfer from swaying during a golf swing, thereby reducing the incidence of shanking the ball.
