Spikes for new balance golf shoes

Does any one know how to install One-Lok Champ spikes in NBG200 New Balance golf shoes?.

There is a guide online looks like a couple of models fit NB shoes.

Thanks Paul, I'm aware of the guide, I have the proper spikes but I cannot figure out how to install them. Neither do the folks at Golftown. They are devilishly hard to figure out.

Looks to me like they are just keyed, then probably a twist to lock once bedded into the shoe.

What do you mean "keyed"?

What do you mean "keyed"?

Usually a one twist so line it up in the shoe, and give it a quarter twist and it should turn and lock

Keyed means, the spike will fit into the shoe in only one position (rotationally) correctly.
Two or three twists/clicks clockwise with a spike tool should then secure it.

Don't these spikes have an arrow to show when they are correctly fitted when tightened. Looks like just a case of allowing the correct offset before twisting to lock.

I've tried every rotational position without luck

In the picture it looks like you have a whole load of mud in there. Could that be stopping it locking?

I mean the stud and its reciever in the shoe are cut so the stud can only sit in it's place in one direction. If you look at your first stud picture, at 1.30 if a clock face you will see a small inner and outer shaping, and then if you look at the shoe where the stud locates that too isnt even, and agian will have a matching inner and outer shaping. The studs are obviously directional and thus they "key" the jointing to give that constant only one direction fitment.
Personally I think it's a stupid design.
ps...I always used to put my studs in with some vaseline, to help to make removal of them later on much easier

Thanks everyone, I have now successfully installed all 14 spikes. I really like the shoes and the original spikes were completely worn down. Thanks for all your help and I can report that New Balance have discontinued this type of spike. I must say I'm not surprised.

Are these Champ cleats or copies?

If you look at this cleat on the Champ web site there is an arrow on the cleat on the spike side

I didn’t even know NB did golf shoes.
Everyday is a school day.
