Abstract
Some studded footwear, such as sports shoes, require studs to be specifically oriented relative to the shoe sole. The studs may be specifically oriented in the receptacles, and thus the receptacles need to be oriented relative to the sole of the shoe. Means are provided therefore for orienting a specifically-oriented receptacle for a shoe stud in a multi-layer shoe sole comprising co-operating orienting means on the receptacle and an outer shoe sole, the co-operating orienting means being operative to physically retain the receptacle in the correct orientation relative to the outer shoe sole at least until an inner shoe sole is secured to the outer shoe sole. Thus the co-operating orienting means serve to ensure that a specifically-oriented receptacle is physically held in the correct orientation relative to the shoe sole, at least until the shoe sole is completed by attachment of an inner shoe sole.
