Abstract
A golf shoe spike wrench for removing spike bodies encapsulated with thermoplastic resin from the sole of golf shoes having a wrench head containing two spaced screws adapted to engage two apertures in the thermoplastic encapsulated spike body. The screws are rotated with a screwdriver to securely fix the spike wrench to the spike body, and the wrench is then rotated to remove the spike body from the shoe sole. Other spike bodies which are of all steel construction are removed in exactly the same manner.
