Table 4. Back foot (B1-B11) and front foot (F1-F9) golf shoe outer sole design features illustrated in Figure 8.
B1 Dashed sole edge traction moulding opposing medial/lateral, anterior/posterior forces.
B2 Lateral forefoot traction bars to prevent medial or lateral slipping during the backswing
B3 Lateral edge spikes situated over areas of high in-shoe pressure during the backswing.
B4 Additional lateral mid-foot traction due to high plantar pressures during the backswing.
B5 Mid-foot sole traction creating larger sole surface area.
B6 Heel mouldings opposing anterior and posterior forces. Additional medial spike placements situated over areas of high plantar pressure required during the backswing.
B7 Heel edge raised bar to restrict clockwise rotational forces during the backswing.
B8 Mid-foot sole traction bar supporting and preventing medial slipping.
B9 Traction rail opposing forefoot and heel medial and lateral forces. The curved forefoot rail would facilitate the natural anticlockwise rotation during the follow-through.
B10 Single spike providing medial/lateral, anterior/posterior traction but allowing the natural anticlockwise rotation during the follow-through.
B11 Raised sole oval area to facilitate the natural forefoot rotation anticlockwise rotation during the follow-through. Raised traction mouldings on the oval border maintain forefoot placement during the anticlockwise rotations. The limited forefoot traction facilitates the natural anticlockwise rotations during the follow-through.
F1 Dashed sole edge traction moulding opposing medial/lateral, anterior/posterior forces
F2 Traction rail(s) opposing forefoot and heel medial and lateral forces
F3 Heel edge raised bar to restrict anticlockwise rotational forces during the follow-through.
F4 Heel mouldings opposing anterior and posterior forces. Additional lateral spike placements situated over areas of high plantar pressure during the downswing and follow-through
F5 Additional lateral mid-foot traction due to high plantar pressures during the downswing and follow-though swing stages.
F6 Mid-foot sole traction bar supporting and preventing lateral slipping.
F7 Lateral forefoot traction bars to prevent medial or lateral slipping during the downswing and follow-through
F8 Lateral edge spikes at areas of high pressure during the downswing/follow-through.
