A removable bottom covering is provided for spiked athletic shoes, particularly golf shoes. A flexible sole member has a toe section, a heel section, and an intermediate section between the toe and heel sections. A plurality of magnetic attaching members are disposed in the toe and heel sections and are arranged in a pattern and have a recess or well so as to accommodate and attach to metallic spikes of the athletic shoe. An area of reduced thickness is defined in the flexible sole member between the toe and heel sections. The area of reduced thickness has a shape and depth so as to accommodate the remaining spikes of the athletic shoe.
