Abstract
A golf shoe with an upper, a sole assembly, and an insert integrated with the sole assembly. The insert may provide an elastic response during a golf-related movement. The insert may comprise a plurality of legs extending from a central region of the insert to stiffen the shoe, the plurality of legs including a first set of symmetric legs extending between the central region and a forefoot region of the sole assembly and a second set of symmetric legs extending between the central region and a rearfoot region of the sole assembly. The first set of symmetric legs comprises a first and second leg that diverge to provide a longitudinally flexible forefoot region between the first and second leg. The second set of symmetric legs comprises a third and fourth leg that diverge to provide a longitudinally flexible rearfoot region between the third and fourth leg.
