Some studded footwear, such as sports shoes, require studs ( 6 ) to be specifically oriented relative to the shoe sole ( 1 ). The studs ( 6 ) may be specifically oriented in the receptacles ( 5 ), and thus the receptacles need to be oriented relative to the sole of the shoe ( 1 ). Means are provided therefore for orienting a specifically-oriented receptacle ( 5 ) for a shoe stud ( 6 ) in a multi-layer shoe sole ( 1 ) comprising co-operating orienting means ( 13 ) on the receptacle ( 5 ) and an outer shoe sole ( 2 ), the co-operating orienting means being operative to physically retain the receptacle ( 5 ) in the correct orientation relative to the outer shoe sole ( 2 ) at least until an inner shoe sole ( 3 ) is secured to the outer shoe sole ( 2 ). Thus the co-operating orienting means serve to ensure that a specifically-oriented receptacle ( 5 ) is physically held in the correct orientation relative to the shoe sole ( 1 ), at least until the shoe sole is completed by attachment of an inner shoe sole ( 3 ).
