    Abstract

    A golf shoe sole with a pattern configured for outward, one-way rotation includes a pattern with a rotation point pattern. The rotation point pattern includes a center point tread or center cone spike, whereby the golf shoe is configured to rotate about the center point tread of the rotational pattern. The pattern can also include more than one one-way rotation patterns. Each of the one-way rotation patterns include a plurality of one-way guide blades and more than one row of parallel outward one-way rotation guide blades. The pattern can also include one or more circle blades encircling the center cone spike. The one way guide blades contain a slide side that gradually protrudes from the sole on the outward side of the blade and has a tall barb to grip the ground on the inside or stop side of the sole. The heal middle part of the sole is populated with a cone spike or center point tread surrounded by circle blades roughly the same height and mostly square on the top or ground side of the blade. The middle to front part of the sole contains the one-way rotational blades that allow the sole to slide along the ground to one direction but the grip and be stable in all other directions.
