MEANS OF SECURING SHOE STUDS BY USING INERTIA

A method for securing studded shoes by using the effect of inertia, wherein a studded shoe, comprising a structure of stud and receptacle combination, the stud including a ground-engaging part. The stud and the receptacle are adapted to be secured together by a threaded connection comprising a bolt (6, 8) on one of the components of the stud and a threaded socket (5, 7) on the receptacle, both adapted such that said bolt (6, 8) can be driven into said threaded socket (5, 7). A securing means of the components serves to become inter-engaged at least when the bolt (6, 8) is fully driven into the threaded socket (5, 7) to resist unscrewing of the components. The securing means comprises at least one locking accessory that fastens in the counterclockwise direction, in an arrangement such that the direction of torque formed by the direction of the inertia in wearer's shoe sole and the center of the threaded connection, and the relative number and/or position of the threads of the threaded connection determine the position and locking direction of the stud relative to the receptacle.
