A retractable golf shoe cleat for replacing conventional fixed cleats includes a plate member for receiving a conventional cleat installation tool. The plate member includes a hole in a central portion and an outwardly extending peripheral portion with an insert member fitted to an inside surface of the plate member. The insert member has a threaded peripheral portion for threading within a standard golf shoe cleat receptacle. A retractable pin is fitted within the insert member and extensible through the hole of the plate member. A coil spring is fitted within an insert member axial bore for biasing the pin toward the hole in an extended cleat position. When walking on a hard surface wearing golf shoes having the retractable cleats, the force on the pin exceeds the spring biasing force thus causing the pin to be recessed into the insert. A stop is provided for limiting spring compression thus extending spring and cleat service life. |
