    摘要: Conventional bicycle pedals and cleats are provided in a myriad of specific designs. Cleat designs offer varying amounts of relative movement between the pedal and cleat to accommodate the needs of cyclists. However there exists room for improvement in existing designs for a cleat which improves a cyclist's pedalling technique and pedalling efficiency, which in turn reduces the likelihood of knee and other injuries, whilst at the same time reducing the rate of cleat wear. The present invention provides a cycling footwear cleat for connection to a receiving portion of a pedal, the pedal having a mounting shaft to which the receiving portion of the pedal is rotatably mounted, the cleat including: a mount for mounting the cleat to an underside of cycling footwear; an attachment portion for receipt by the receiving portion of the pedal; and a resilient member provided between the attachment portion and the receiving portion when the pedal is attached to the cleat, wherein the resilient member resists movement of the attachment portion relative to the receiving portion. The provision of a resilient member improves a cyclist's pedalling efficiency, as well as allowing for variable float of the cleat within the pedal as and when required. It also improves the control of pedal float, since the cleat is less likely to move in an uncontrolled motion relative to the pedal.

    摘要: A beach shoe system including a beach shoe and a stabilizing member. The stabilizing member, when attached to the beach shoe, being below the beach shoe and being removably attached to the beach shoe. The stabilizing member includes a porous, substantially planar section underlying a sole of the beach shoe and extending transversely beyond peripheral sides of the beach shoe. The stabilizing member preferably includes a peripheral rim attached to the planar section and extending downwardly and upwardly therefrom.

    摘要: Golf shoes having improved outsole constructions are provided. The outsole contains flex channels that provide flexibility when a person is walking or playing a golf course. The outsole further includes traction members having a serrated, wave-like structure. These traction members make high contact with the ground surface and provide high traction, stability, and support for the golfer. The outsole may further include removable spikes that are fastened to receptacles. These spikes can be arranged in different patterns and they provide additional support and traction.
