TRUE linkswear adds spiked golf shoes to lineup
Barefoot-style golf shoe pioneer TRUE linkswear is introducing a spiked shoe for the first time as part of its 2015 Spring/Summer Collection.
[quote_box_center]“Everything we do in the design and manufacturing of our shoes is run through a comfort filter, so to speak,” said Jason Moore, TRUE linkswear vice president of product development. “If it doesn’t make the shoe more comfortable, we don’t include it. We’re confident that golfers will have that WOW! moment when they wear our new [shoes]…we don’t mind guaranteeing it with a 30-day return policy.” [/quote_box_center]
This year’s spiked models include the Game Changer Pro, Classix and Fairways. In order to maintain the barefoot feel the company is known for, designers created different sole designs for the different models.
Game Changer Pro
The company “utilized an ultra-thin, lightweight proprietary rubber mesh compound created by a biomechanical engineer in the midsole” for its Game Changer Pro shoe.
[quote_box_center]“By using P-Motion we eliminated the feel of pressure points under the foot caused by soft spikes,” Moore said. “This allowed us to make the thinnest and most flexible replaceable spiked shoe in the industry without the feeling of seven spike platforms under each foot.”[/quote_box_center]
Premium leather upper in four color styles, including black with white accents, white with grey accents, white with TRUE red accents, and grey with trophy gold and white accents. Ships March 2. MSRP $189.99.
Classix
TRUE linkswear describes the Classix as a “combination of traditional styling and innovative design that answered the requests from many of the top players.” They were the model Ryan Moore was wearing when he won the CIMB Classic earlier this year.
Their design includes:
- A full-grain premium leather upper with a throwback saddle style
- Flexible outsole featuring a thin and lightweight rubber tread system
- Replaceable, low profile and flexible Champ Zarma Tour soft spikes
- Champ StreetCaps are also included that allow you to convert the shoe to a comfortable street tread
- A thin EVA midsole
Ship April 2. Available in three color styles, including grey with white accents, black with white accents, and white with royal blue accents. MSRP $219.99
Fairways
The company is also unveiling a new spiked shoe for women, its the Fairways model.
Their design includes:
- Similar to the Classix with hand-finished detailing and a full-grain premium leather upper
- Minimal and modern wingtip style
- Flexible outsole featuring a thin and lightweight rubber tread system
- Replaceable, low profile and flexible Champ Zarma Tour soft spikes
Available in three color styles, including white with teal accents, black with pop pink accents, and white with grey accents. Ship April 2. MSRP of $149.99.

No photo of the pseudo spikes? What gives? The title of this article is misleading. “Get it right next time hinkle.”

I’ve tried different versions of True shoes and they are beyond comfortable, even with my orthotics. However, they just don’t last. I’m heavy on my feet, so I get this is a me problem, but still I’d barely get half a season out of them. And I’m in Canada, so it’s not exactly a super long season.

The headline says the added ‘Spiked Golf Shoes’ but they do not show the spikes?

Makes you wonder if the original soles worked,
Seems like they are putting up a white flag.

These look great, if they’re comfortable I’m in.

These look really cheap looking the build quality and materials looks awful.

bit of a shame they messed with the logo which is placed absolutely on the wrong spot. Put the ‘T’ on the side, bottom or back of the sole, but please not where it is on each model. Just makes the classic design look cheap. Its not J.Lindeberg or FJ icon to be a statement. In terms of design they borrowed from both FJ and Ecco. Guess with that price tag people will go for FJ or Ecco that are much more trusted and established.

Too pricey for what they are. Like said below, I’d rather spend a tad more for a pair of Ecco’s.

Meh… I’ll stick to my Eccos thanks anyway.

I think they need to come out more bright colors in guys shoes. I have worn trues exclusively for a few years with well over double digits of them, but need a broader color scheme out of them

Can’t wait for my CC to carry these. Will definitely be ordering a pair of the Classix.
