adidasTHiNTech Replacement Bulk Spike Cleats 20pcs, Black

you definitely can't use the tool they give you. As others have said, soak the bottom of the shoe in water to loosen the caked on mud. Use a needle nose plier to remove the old spikes.The tool is then excellent for installing the new spikes...they fit perfectly.

Why Adidas can’t use soft spikes like everyone else is a mystery. But if you have Adidas golf shoes you need these. The black color looks better than the OEM clear-ish spikes since my soles are black already.

Description states no wrench is included, which is sort of true, since the one that is included is a joke. As others have stated, have a real spike wrench handy. Spikes are tough to remove, but smacking the soles down hard on a concrete floor seemed to help a lot. New spikes are a harder material than original, but shouldn't cause an issue on slick floors, since the shoe itself has softer rubber knobbies.New cleats twist with three clicks to completely lock in.

Excellent

The golf cleats / spikes fit great for my Adidas golf shoes. Rotate the spike tool counter clockwise after you clean the spikes first. As others have said the included spike tool is useless. If you research "How to Remove Broken or Worn out Golf Cleats" you can find a video about using a decent needle nose pliers for that situation. This is better than trying to drill out a broken golf cleat. In fact I used the needle nose pliers to install the new golf spikes rather than using the "better" golf spike tool, I already had. Save yourself some money on a new golf spike tool and just use the needle nose pliers to uninstall all the Adidas golf spikes and to install all the new ones. If the needle nose pliers work on broken golf cleats, they will work on normal or regular golf cleats. IMO.

The replacement spikes are a bit pricey in comparison to substitutes but overall quality. Use the tool that is included for install only (super easy install once old cleats have been removed and cleaned) and buy a cleat ripper removal tool for removal of old cleats. I personally soaked the bottom of my shoes with the old cleats in cold water for an hour before removing with the cleat ripper tool. The water softens the mud under the old spikes and makes removal much easier. Don’t use warm water as warm water could warp the plastic bottom of the cleat holes. Best of luck.

I bought the Adidas brand as they needed to be for Adidas shoes made after 2009 which I think may have added to the expense. I have tried replacing the spikes before this and could never loosen them. Found somewhere on line to soak the soles in warm water for about 20 minutes to loosen the mud (turns to glue over time). Worked great. The hard to remove ones, I used another Web Idea, used a screwdriver and gently pried them off.

Spikes fit perfectly with my Adidas 360 golf shoes. None have fallen off so far. It comes with a replacement tool, which doesn't work very well. I wouldn't try removing your old spikes with the included tool. It damages the removal holes making them difficult to remove. I'd recommend getting a better quality spike tool for removal/installation.Expect to spend 30-40 minutes to get the old spikes off and clean before installing new spikes.
