[DTorres]

Congratulations to the selected testers! I’ll be watching closely as my Foot Joys have lost their Joy

[player922000]

Thanks so much to @SQAIRZ and @GolfWRX_Official for the opportunity! 
 

Here are some unboxing photos and initial impressions from wearing them around the house. 
 

 

First off, I do want to mention that the founder of SQAIRZ, Bob, called me to make sure I was set up with the correct size for this testing. I really appreciated that attention to detail and his desire to make sure I get the best and most comfortable testing experience. Next, I want to mention that he encouraged me to test these vs my usual gamer shoes on a launch monitor to get some comparison data. That surprised me a bit as I imagine the first thing skeptics would go after would be whether these shoes actually improve performance. But right off the bat he suggests I put it to the test. I can really appreciate the confidence he has in this product. 

 

Initial impression:

 

Looks - they have a clean/minimalist look that says “I mean business.” The only semi-negative thing I’ll say is that I think they would have looked a little cleaner without the horizontal white stripes. It doesn’t take anything away from the looks for me, but I think I might prefer them more without those stripes. The white is super crisp which I think looks very very nice and helps the blue really pop. 

Feel - They have a very locked-in and grounded feeling right off the bat. I think the silicone lacing system takes away from the looks just a little bit, but is excellent for functionality, which is what matters most for me. I think they have very solid comfort right out of the box and they didn’t feel bulky or heavy, which was a nice surprise. I have flat fleet so arch support is important. I do think these have better support with just the basic insole they come with than most if not all other shoes I’ve tried. 

 

About me: I currently play to a 10.2 handicap, my club head speed averages around 102 mph, and my ball speed averages 150 mph. My swing is definitely more towards the fast tempo and aggressive transition. So, I’m very interested to see if these shoes help me harness some of that lost power. My gamers for the past year are Puma ProAdapt Alphacat spikeless. 
 

Up next: I’m playing in a scramble on Saturday so I’ll get a full round in to test out their comfort, style, and durability. Since it’s a scramble, I’m sure I’ll have several opportunities to grip it and rip it and put these to the test! 
 

Please feel free to ask any questions about these and I’ll do my best to answer!

That was a nice surprise! I’ll let everyone know how I like the socks as well!

Always like the product reviews, but actually EXCITED for some shoe reviews.  Can't wait to hear how these hold up!

[CanFred]

Congrats testers! Looking forward to putting these through their paces!

[medic170979]

Good morning!  I want to thank @SQAIRZ and @GolfWRX_Official for the opportunity to test these shoes.  To be honest, I was less interested in the potential performance gains from the shoes and more interested in the increased comfort from the wide toe box.  Last year I switched my running/everyday shoes to a brand known for a wide toe box, Topos, and it has made a world of difference to my feet and lower back.  I have been curious about whether or not Sqairz would offer a similar benefit, but was hesitant to make the leap without being able to try them on before purchase.  

 

Background on Me:  I'm a bigger guy (6' 250lbs) with wide feet.  I'm an inconsistent 9 handicap with moderate club head speed, and I average about 275 off the tee on solid strikes with a 108-110 mph clubhead speed.  I have worn Ecco shoes (size 46) exclusively since 2012 due to the wide fit and known comfort level for my foot size and shape.  I purchased my first pair in a store after trying them on, and have ordered online since due to familiarity with the fit and sizing.  I love the comfort of the spikeless Bioms, but recently swapped over to the Biom G5 spiked for some added stability.  My miss is predominantly a toe hook (occasional push) due to a tendency to pull my shoulder out early, so I wanted a bit more ground connection to feel "locked in," especially when it's moist.   

 

Initial Impression: Their website advises ordering a half-size down if you wear Eccos, and after a phone conversation with the owner Bob (great guy), I went with an 11.5 since the size 46 in Ecco equates to a US 12.  Since I am an hour away from their warehouse in PA, I had my shoes via Fedex on Saturday.  The shoes arrived nicely packaged complete with a pair of socks (if it's free, it's for me!).  I chose the white/teal colorway since it was mostly off-white/black with just an accent of color, and I am very happy with the look.  The square toe is a bit striking at first, but honestly it really isn't that noticeable when looking at the shoes from a side profile.    

 

    

 

Toe Box Comparison: Here are some comparison pics of the Sqairz with my Topos running shoes.  The toe box is definitely wide, but it doesn't seem to be as pronounced as my Topos.

 

 

Fit and Comfort: Since they arrived so quickly, I was able to wear them Sunday for a round.  I wore them around the house for a while on Saturday night, and I noticed immediately that my feet did not feel any "squeezing," which is something I usually experience with brand new Eccos until they are broken in.  On Sunday I had a warm up session on the range followed by an 18 hole round, so the shoes were on my feet for 5 hours continuously.  We did ride on carts for the round, but I made sure to take plenty of walks in between shots to get a good feel for the shoes.  First off, I got compliments from nearly everyone in my foursome on the shoes.  The definitely have "curb appeal," and surprisingly no one commented or asked about the square toe.  It is clearly more obvious to the wearer who is looking down at it.  I wanted to test the lace tech, so I only single knotted the shoes.  I was very impressed with the comfort of the shoes, as my feet felt relaxed and well-cushioned throughout the round.  There is definitely something to five points of contact theory, as I felt very connected to the ground with my toes not being scrunched up in the shoe.  Anecdotally, I would categorize the stability and traction of the shoe as better than my Eccos.  I did not notice any spike pressure points, and the shoe feels both comfortable and connected at the same time.  It was dry out, so I did not get to test the waterproofing or wet traction as of yet.  The shoe is very lightweight and I think it will lend itself well to walking a round.  I feel like I sacrificed walking comfort for stability when I swapped to spiked Eccos, but these seem to have both without compromise.  As for the laces, I only had to retie my left shoe once on the 12th tee, which is pretty darn good for single knots.  Oh, and the free socks are nice and comfy with plenty of arch support.  I could do with a more subdued branding on the socks, but thats minor given the comfort.  (Also they were free!)  

 

Post-round Thoughts and Pics:  Overall, I am very impressed with the shoes.  While I'm not sure if I was experiencing significant speed gains, I did pipe one 295 down the fairway on 18, which is pretty darn far for me.  I can safely say I felt very stable throughout my swing, which combined with the comfort factor is enough for me to call these an early win for both my golf game and my feet.  I plan to get the launch monitor out this weekend and get some hard data, but regardless of any mph gains, I see the stability and comfort as a benefit already.  I have attached some pics below of the shoes after my round so you can see how they look after 18 holes of play.  I hope this initial review was helpful and I look forward to providing some more thoughts, data, and pics as my testing continues.

@medic170979 Do you normally wear a wide shoe,  or just get shoes with a wider toe box?

Sqairz does offer wide sizes,  but seems like the standards are fairly wide.  How is the width on yours?



 

[CanFred]

@medic170979 - digging the colorway as well.  Looking forward to hearing how these perform long term - Ecco makes a great shoe as well but thinks look pretty positive so far with the Sqairz!

 

 

[Nickiet55]

Good morning!  I want to thank @SQAIRZ and @GolfWRX_Official for the opportunity to test these shoes.  I apologize for being a day late, I received them on Tuesday and was not able to take them out to the course, and I was at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin with my HS Golf team! I received a call from Bob (the owner of SQAIRZ) and we had a fantastic conversation! He walked me through what he thought size I should get (I normally wear a 12.5, but there are hardly any shoe companies that make 12.5's anymore). He was just a very personable guy and I greatly appreciate that he took time out of his day to talk to me, I have so much respect for that level of customer service! 

 

About Me: I am currently a 7.3 handicap and I am 6' Tall, about 225 pounds. I have a very weird foot because I have a narrow heel, but a wide toe box, so that is truthfully one of the main reasons that I was interested in this shoe! I often times have to order a wide shoe, but it is not always conducive to the rest of my foot. I can often slide a little bit because of the wider heel section. I can normally swing it about 103-107, but I have been dealing with some back issues to start the year so I am probably not up in that area consistently! I am normally a 260-270 carry guy, and then it will roll out a little bit here and there. I play a lot of golf (I am almost 30, no wife, and no kids so that allows me to play a good amount) and I play at the same course for about 75-85% of my rounds. I will be heading out for my golf league tonight to see how the shoes feel and I always walk so we will get a true feeling of how the shoes behave! 

 

Looks: These are a very simple shoe in my opinion but I think that that is a great thing more than a knock on it! I wear mostly black, gray, and white shoes, so I just enjoyed the looks of these online the most! They have some great subtle designs and are just a good-looking shoe! I think that the toe box is not overly wide where it is gaudy or ugly, but it is nice to look down at it and know that there is plenty of room there! 

 

Feel: Like I said, I have not really tried them on other than around the house so I cannot give a full review yet, but they feel really comfortable, while also sturdy! I am normally the guy who wears more "athletic" golf shoes, but I really love a shoe that just feels like it is supporting you when you have it on! I will certainly give more of an in-depth review tomorrow after I have my league tonight, but those were kind of my initial thoughts! 

 

Thank you again for the opportunity, and I am looking forward to trying them out tonight!

Are you a 12.5 in FJ?  

 

I have a similar foot shape.   Shoes too wide and get heel slippage, or too narrow and can feel the sides of the insole along the balls of my feet.

I haven't really worn a lot of FJ shoes but when I had a pair of the Hyperflex, they were 12.5's and they fit really well! 

 

I am glad that I am not the only one that has these issues! haha

I do normally wear a wide shoe.  The Topos don't come in wide because of their whole design philosophy being based on a wide shoe and roomy toe box, so those and my Eccos were the first shoes in a long time that I don't order in wide.  I went with the standard Sqairz based on my conversation with Bob the owner, and I must say they are plenty wide for my fat foot.  I can't imagine how wide the wide sizes are!

I was pleasantly surprised with the colorway - just a little bit of flair with the teal.  I have been super happy with Ecco, which is one of the reasons I never strayed.  But as you said, the Sqairz are off to a promising start!  I am hoping to get out tomorrow and walk, so I should be able to give a better walking comfort update.  I'll just tell my wife I have an obligation to WRX to provide reviews lol.

The toebox caught my interest, but honestly not enough that I was willing to order and try them, even with a 30-day trial period.  This oppurtunity caught my attention, and if I wasn't lucky enough to be chosen, I'd be watching this just like you are.  In hindsight I'm a bit sorry I didn't try a pair before - apparently I don't ho shoes like I do clubs!

That's really good to read!    I also never heard of Topos, but looked them up and I'm intrigued.

[thaar]

Thanks to Sqairz for the opportunity to test these out, as I've always been intrigued by them! Bob, the founder of Sqairz reached out to me and it was great speaking with him. He wanted to touch base to ensure my sizing was correct. You can tell he is very passionate about the game and his product. He was very accommodating and said if I had any issues to reach out to him. It's nice to have that level of customer service and assurances about a product. 

 

I received mine Tuesday and was hoping to get them out last night, but of course it rained. I'll get some time in them this weekend, and will eventually get on the Trackman to get some comparison data. I'll have a more detailed write-up soon, so stay tuned!

[N8dogg2669]

So first off, I'd like to thank @SQAIRZ and @GolfWRX_Official for selecting me for this opportunity to test these shoes. First right off the bat, Bob from @SQAIRZ is awesome to deal with as has been stated by a couple other testers in this thread. Bob reached out and we spoke about shoes I currently wear, foot issues I have, and we decided to stick with the Pro S2 LT. Well, I got them yesterday, I was pumped to try them out. Put them on and it became apparent that they were too tight, and just not wide enough in the toe box. I sent Bob an email last night at 7:30pm, and told him if he wanted to chat, I was just sitting on the couch watching the NCAA Finals anyways and I could talk. My phone rang about 20 minutes later with Bob's number popping up on the screen. I had emailed him a couple pics and he told me as soon as he saw them that the shoes were not wide enough and I needed a wide shoe. He told me unfortunately that they don't make the Pro S2 LT "yet" in a wide, but they were coming. He is sending me, and I already got shipping confirmation, a pair of the Velo LT-X in the same colorway and a wide version. Bob told me to go ahead and try these if I want, but that he would be sending me a new pair of the VELO and a set of these when the wide is in production. I'll give a review for my initial impressions of this shoe, and then when I get the VELO tomorrow i will do a full review and do some testing on my launch monitor as I am sure that's what most are curious about. 

 

A little about me. I'm currently a 7 handicap, play a couple times a week and most ride, but I do like to practice in the shoes I wear. I have a pretty mild swing tempo, and my Clubhead speed is around 95-97 with a driver. I'm not a bomber by any menas, so if I see some performance gains, that would be welcomed. I'll upload some pics so you guys can all see the other shoes I wear or have worn, but they range from Footjoy Premiere's to Footjoy Pro SL Carbons, to Ecco's, G-fore Galivanters, Adidas 360, and currently I have been wearing the Skechers Prestige Slip Ins in an extra wide. I tend to find something I like and then I buy multiples and all colorways, etc. I think I'm around 20 pairs of shoes currently. I've been battling food issues for the last 3 years, so I was super pumped for this opportunity. I was building my simulator in my garage a few years ago and I was dumb enough to be wearing flip flops while climbing up and down a ladder and I managed to suffer a couple of hairline fractures on the outside of my right foot. Instead of dealing with it the way I should have I ended up compensating for it, golfed, went to Nashville, etc and ended up doing additional damage to my left foot. Long story short, I need shoes with wide toe boxes now so my foot can be flat in a shoe and my toes can spread out evenly instead of being bunched up. The tightness of a shoe along with the existing issues cause extreme issues on my feet. The problem that I have noticed is that my foot basically rolls over the footbed and my foot hangs over the foot bed and ends up causing pain and an issue in general, especially my left foot when I swing (I'm a righty btw). The Skechers I have been wearing seem to do a decent job of dealing with this, and I'm hoping these will do the same once I get a wider version. 

 

 

 - First Impression

I was somewhat skeptical of the look of these shoes. I prefer a classic, not too busy shoe as you will see when I post the rest of the shoes. When I pulled them out of the box, I noticed that the squared toe is noticeable for sure. I will say that within a few minutes of wearing them and just having them, it was kind of an afterthought. I'm not sure how this will relate on the course, but we'll find out soon enough. I thought the laces were interesting. I noticed another tester said he thought the bumps on the laces took away from the aesthetics, and I think I agree, but I always tie a double knot, I tied these in a single and it seemed super secure. We'll see once we get them on the course how that holds up. I thought the color and lines were nice, classy, and not overblown with loud wild graphics or colors. I think this shoe would pair well with pants or shorts. I was impressed with the pebbled grain on the shoe also. Overall, I really like the look and style of this shoe. It has enough to not be a plain jane shoe, but not too much or too loud for those of us who aren't into that with our shoes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Fit

As I stated before, I need a wider shoe. This shoe only comes in the normal width, and Bob told me we needed to get me into a wide shoe, so they are coming. That said, they were tight, but comfortable. I felt like the heel section really holds your foot in place, and I couldn't feel my foot sliding around inside of it (note: they do a bit in my Skechers but I deal with it because of the width of the toe box). More to come in this section as I am waiting on the other pair. 

 

 - Performance

TBD, waiting on the VELO's. 

 

 - Durability

TBD, waiting on the VELO's.

 

 - Final Thoughts/Opinions

I'll say TBD on this, but I'm going to add this in. I own a small business and the level of communication and direct access with Bob has been sort of shocking. I could have easily seen this being handed off to a marketing person or salesperson, but Bob took the time to call me at like 8pm on a Wednesday night to talk about the shoes. We didn't just talk about these shoes, we talked the process and science behind them, what to expect and what it should help with. Overall, @SQAIRZ has gone above and beyond with me on these shoes. So, I'm really hoping that the replacements are great shoes because I really want to give them a great review based on the customer service that I have received so far on a free pair of shoes. And Bob mentioned the shoes are great, but that his socks are the best around. Looking forward to testing those also. More to come after this weekend. feel free to ask any questions that I might be able to answer currently.

Good morning!  I want to thank @SQAIRZ and @GolfWRX_Official for the opportunity to test these shoes.  I apologize for being a day late, I received them on Tuesday and was not able to take them out to the course, and I was at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin with my HS Golf team! I received a call from Bob (the owner of SQAIRZ) and we had a fantastic conversation! He walked me through what he thought size I should get (I normally wear a 12.5, but there are hardly any shoe companies that make 12.5's anymore). He was just a very personable guy and I greatly appreciate that he took time out of his day to talk to me, I have so much respect for that level of customer service! 

 

About Me: I am currently a 7.3 handicap and I am 6' Tall, about 225 pounds. I have a very weird foot because I have a narrow heel, but a wide toe box, so that is truthfully one of the main reasons that I was interested in this shoe! I often times have to order a wide shoe, but it is not always conducive to the rest of my foot. I can often slide a little bit because of the wider heel section. I can normally swing it about 103-107, but I have been dealing with some back issues to start the year so I am probably not up in that area consistently! I am normally a 260-270 carry guy, and then it will roll out a little bit here and there. I play a lot of golf (I am almost 30, no wife, and no kids so that allows me to play a good amount) and I play at the same course for about 75-85% of my rounds. I will be heading out for my golf league tonight to see how the shoes feel and I always walk so we will get a true feeling of how the shoes behave! 

 

Looks: These are a very simple shoe in my opinion but I think that that is a great thing more than a knock on it! I wear mostly black, gray, and white shoes, so I just enjoyed the looks of these online the most! They have some great subtle designs and are just a good-looking shoe! I think that the toe box is not overly wide where it is gaudy or ugly, but it is nice to look down at it and know that there is plenty of room there! 

 

Feel: Like I said, I have not really tried them on other than around the house so I cannot give a full review yet, but they feel really comfortable, while also sturdy! I am normally the guy who wears more "athletic" golf shoes, but I really love a shoe that just feels like it is supporting you when you have it on! I will certainly give more of an in-depth review tomorrow after I have my league tonight, but those were kind of my initial thoughts! 

 

Thank you again for the opportunity, and I am looking forward to trying them out tonight! 

 

To Follow up on my round yesterday: 

 

I actually played really well! Made some stupid bogeys, but shot 75 (my best round of the year so far) so some of that has to be due to the shoes! haha 

 

They were really comfortable and I didn't have any sore feet after wearing them. Sometimes, especially with brand new shoes, my feet will be sore after wearing them. I did not have to worry about that, so that is a great feeling! The shoes were just comfortable and that extra room in the toe box certainly seems to help! 

 

In regards to performance, I definitely think that they were adding some distance in certain situations. I was about where I normally am on most of the holes (but I wasn't really striking the driver well honestly) so that is maybe due to a little bit of speed increase with a bad strike even. The big one was a 510 yard par 5 that was playing maybe a little downwind, but it was mostly off the left. I hit a really good drive and had 225 into the hole, so it was nice to be up that far! I didn't hit a great second shot, but still got up and down for a birdie! 

 

Overall, I certainly think that these shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes that I have worn. Like I said, it was kind of tough to see any major performance gains, but I will getting on a launch monitor hopefully soon so we can test this out!

Hello everyone! Leave it to the Californian to be late to the party!!! In my defense, my box JUST arrived less than an hour ago, so I’m hopping into this thread as quickly as possible to share my excitement and thank the good folks over at @SQAIRZ and @GolfWRX_Official for including me in the testing. As a business owner and father of 3…my golf days are more limited than they used to be, but I’ve got a round on the books for late next week so I’ll update this post once I’ve actually had a chance to take these for a spin.

 

I’ll start by saying that anytime you have the opportunity to connect with the owner of a company; it makes you feel special! That’s exactly what happened after the announcement that I was selected to participate in this testing. The owner, Bob, sent me an email with his personal phone number and requested that I call him to confirm a few details. Without realizing how late it would be for him (it was close to 5pm PST when I called), I eagerly called to meet him and say thanks for the opportunity to test the product. Before asking about my sizing or anything golf related, he spent a few minutes just asking about me. He was so genuine and gracious with his time. As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, I own a business with my wife (I’m a roofing contractor). But, I haven’t always been a roofing contractor…up until 2022, I was actually a Class A member of the PGA and had worked the first half of my career in the golf industry. I’ve had the chance to connect with my fair share of executives in the golf industry, and you can always tell who cares about an encounter and who doesn’t. Bob cares, and it was a pleasure to speak with him about the upcoming test and his company.

 

About me:

Golf has always been my absolute favorite activity. Ever since I was a young kid, golf was my thing. I’m between 6’3”-6’4” and am your quintessential “big fella”. Strangers’ favorite question to ask me is “where did you play football?” if that helps paint the picture. I work out a few times a week, and am fairly strong, but just larger features across the board. I move it a pretty good ways off the tee…mid-high 170s ball speed. Tee ball and iron game are my biggest strengths…I’m a below average/weak wedge player…decent putter. Currently a 1.4 index.
I usually wear a size 13W (FootJoy, Sketchers) or 14 in Nike. I enjoy walking when I play, but by no means am I against riding if that’s the group I’m with that day. My biggest intrigue with this shoe was seeing if I could walk more than 18 holes without my feet hurting later that evening. There’s an annual Bandon trip I’m super excited about, and that’s where this shoe could really shine for me!

 

Looks:

I was selected to test the Speed2 LT. Right away, the first thing I noticed was the box and how nicely everything was packaged. Opening the box was a real treat, because I was greeted by a pair of L/XL SQAIRZ socks. Taking me back to my high school and college days in the Southeast where every young golfer wore khaki shorts and saddle FootJoy cleats with the FJ socks that had the frill around the back heel to keep blisters away…these SQAIRZ socks really had me intrigued. There were also 3 postcard-sized inserts talking about the socks, a ladies line, and the brand as a whole. Finally, a really cool message on the top of the box reading, “Thank you! Your order made our day. We hope it brightens yours.” Then a QR code to register the shoes warranty. A small detail; but a really nice touch. 
I tried them on, and immediately noticed the square look of the toe. There is a sharp-looking foam on the top base of the sole of the shoe. Finally, the laces have small squares embedded into them. A fun play on the brand, but also helps the laces stay in place as you tighten your knot. Overall, a very modern look with the shape of the toe and the color pattern. I personally really like the aesthetics and have nothing negative to say about them. For me, it’s difficult to compare the look of these shoes to any other OEM. They stand out, but in a good way. Overall, a very high-quality looking product with a unique toe shape.

 

Feel:

The first thing I noticed was how roomy they feel in the toe. By no means would I need a “wide” version of this shoe. It fit my foot snugly, yet comfortably, with plenty of space in the toe! I was pleased with the amount of “cushion” that was visible on the inside of the shoe, but also tangible on your feet. The shoes feel extremely comfortable right away. I don’t foresee any “break-in” period like you’d need with a traditional leather golf shoe. There will be much more to report on in this section following next week’s round, but the initial feel is a 10/10 for me!

 

Looking forward to reporting back more after next week’s round. Happy to field any/all questions.

Round 2 in the books...

Yesterday I walked 18 at a local course that has some steep hills on a few of the holes, with most of the terrain rolling.  It has rained quite a bit this week and it was morning, so the course was wet and dew was present.  They were cutting the grass across the course, so plenty of clippings on the fairways and rough.  On the first tee I got a compliment on the shoes from a total stranger, so there is definitely style points to be had with these.  The shoes held up extremely well for the walk, and I honestly had zero foot discomfort despite walking in a pair of shoes only worn for one previous round that I rode.  My feet stayed bone dry throughout the day.  If I was a nitpicker, which I'm not, the only minor thing I can say is that my feet were a bit hot from the shoes.  That said, I would gladly trade a bit of foot sweat for waterproof and comfortable.  I did notice that despite feeling that my feet were hot, my socks weren't soaked with sweat which tells me they wick moisture very well.  Traction was good through my round, but I did notice the circular molded tread pattern likes to get packed with grass clippings.  At no point, however, did that seem to affect my stability.  I can also say that the tech in my shoes does not negate any of my swing faults, specifically my pull-hook with the driver.  I double knotted the laces this time, and they stayed tightly tied throughout.

 

The width of the toe box was very noticeable to me while walking, but I think it's starting to become "normal" for me when swinging.  I want to jump back into my Eccos for a round coming up, because I suspect they will now make my foot feel very scrunched and rounded.  My takeaway from round 2 - these shoes offer the support and stability of my spiked Eccos with the comfort and light weight of my spikeless Eccos.  As the honeymoon continues, I am very impressed with Sqairz for my feet.   

 

Post Round Pics: (I banged the soles together to remove grass, but did not wipe the shoes before these pics.)

Not a tester but got the new Velo model. Love them except they don’t seem water proof. Any testers noticing that? They are definitely lighter than prior models and traction feels better. Just bummed about shaving wet feet.

I put the Velo LT-X shoes to the test today. I played in a scramble but we’ve had a ton of rain the last few days so it was cart path only. So, I got plenty of walking in with these and I got to see how they perform in wet conditions. First off, the grip was incredible, I didn’t feel even the slightest bit of slip in these and that includes 2 holes while it was raining on us. Secondly, I had the best driving round of my life today, and I don’t believe in coincidences. I normally wear spikeless so this was definitely a little

different, but I felt so stable and connected during my swing wearing these. 
 

I occasionally wear orthotics when I golf due to my flat feet, so I tried these out today with the orthotics. They were a little snug at first but once I broke them in more during the round they felt just fine. The toe box was a little weird feeling but not in a bad way, and I can’t argue with the results. They held up great and my feet did not get even the slightest bit wet. I’m anxious to get some numbers with these on a launch monitor!
