This invention relates to an improved spike installed in a sole of a shoe
and consists of a receptacle having a base and several connecting seats
integrated around the edge of the base in one piece flexibly moving in
proportion to the base. Several spikes are installed unto individual
connecting seats extruding the sole. Accordingly, each connecting seat
and partial spikes are wrapped up by the flexible sole. When spikes
receive an external force causing connecting seats to deviate slightly
and simultaneously, the elasticity of the sole material and elastic
recovery of each connecting seat are used ingeniously to create proper
grip.
