I just bought replacement soft spikes for my adidas shoes, but I can't get the old ones out. I even have the nice caddy tool from soft spikes. Any suggestions??

Had the same problem Yogi,those tools they supply to do the job are worse than useless. A set of pliers did the trick for me.

Switch to "spike-free" shoes. (The retailers don't seem to call anything "spikeless" now.) I play just as well in a pair of cross-trainers as in golf shoes. However, playing like me is not anything you would want to do.

This has worked for me....
More leverage is needed. Put the tool in a vise, hold the shoe against the tool, turn the shoe.

+1.. I have EEEE wide feet, so golf shoes for me are kind of on the expensive side. I haven't bought any yet.

When I do break down and buy a pair, I'll be interested to see if they make any sort of difference in my game at all. We do have one course around here that won't let you play without golf shoes. I guess its just a measure to keep undesirables out since (in my guess) a 200 pound man wearing spikes on his shoes probably does more damage to the course then the same man wearing rubber soled Nike Airs. They don't allow shorts or t-shirts either.

What type of spikes? Q-locks, threads...? A little WD-40 at the base might help, don't get the WD-40 on the top or the tool will slip. Also, before the WD-40, make sure you have cleaned out all dirt with a stiff brush. As you are turning the spike tool also use a lot of downward pressure. Good luck!

My feet slide around a bit with spikes on occaision, without spikes I would be doing a moon walk.

Of course I am 6'4" with a stocky build... so there's some mass moving around on those 13" platforms.

I'm sure if you wore some rubber soled shoes that looked golf like, you could get on... or just said you wear a EEE etc. and don't have golf shoes. No t-shirts is fine... I actually laughed while I was on vacation with my wife and we were playing an upscale course in the Sandhills area and the course made some guy buy a pair of slacks because he wore jeans. However, no shorts... come on that's crazy talk

. Sounds like that course might not be worth the effort...

Yes, this might loosen them up a bit. As some suggested the vise idea works great if they are metal spikes. Also, if they are Q-locks, try soaking the bottoms of the shoes in hot water (real hot, borderline boiling)... then take then out of water and push down hard and turn on wrench. The heat will have loosened sediment and softened rubber, so you can get the tool in better.

I had the same problem a few months ago. I brought them back to where I bought them, thinking they could get them out. They couldn't by hand. They couldn't by machine. So they sent them back to Adidas and gave me store credit for 100% of what I had paid for them more than a year prior!

I can't promise your store will be equally awesome, but you should bring them in and see if they can help.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Was finally able to get the old cleats out with some serious persuasion. New ones are in and ready to go!

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By klineka ·

      Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
