Leave them in warm water for a little while. It should help expand the sole just enough.

Perhaps also a squirt of WD40, leave them overnight afterwards.

Best tip I know is to leave them with the Assistant Pro to do.

I have a two pin wrench and the one Old Skier posted and if I have a stubborn spike or two I leave them in warm water for few moments and try again usually while the sole is still wet. Works well

If you have a drill, just drill with a narrow bit into the existing holes.
Once the holes are deeper they will come out easily.

Thanks I will try that maybe soak them in warm water as well ?

I've got one of these cleat rippers, they have never failed to remove any soft spikes, great bit of kit for pennies.

I use a drill, then a cleat ripper.

I tend to find the warm water option works well for me. But make sure you try to take them out while they're still warm.

You've got me thinking are the threads on Cleats anything like the threads on cricket boots? I've two new pairs of cricket boots that are comfy as anyhing and if I could swap the spikes for cleats would be awesome. Anyone ever tried?

I throw my shoes away when the spikes need replacing
