A cleat (10) to be used on a golf shoe is disclosed. The cleat (10) includes a cleat body (3), securing means (4) and a plurality of long legs (1) and short legs (2). The long legs (1) and the short legs (2) are provided alternately on the cleat body (3). The long legs (1) protrude outwardly from the cleat body (3) having an angle with an imaginary plane normal to the axis of the cleat in the range 70.+-.15 degrees. The long legs (1) are rigid enough to penetrate through grass while the short legs (2) are rigid enough to retain their shape on a hard surface and press grass hard from above. The cleat having voids between the long and short legs provides excellent grips on grass as grass blades and stalks enter the voids and entangle with the long legs (1) and the short legs (2).
