SQAIRZ Golf Shoes square-toe construction was first introduced at the 2020 PGA Show. Now just four years later the company has been one of the biggest success stories in the golf industry and are offering three new models for the 2024 golf season. They have even branched out into baseball shoes, worn by MLB players, plus a new Pickleball shoe, that will soon be finding their way onto pickleball courts near you.
The idea for SQAIRZ golf shoes came from observing someone wearing square toed dress shoes at a driving range and was followed by extensive research in foot movement biomechanics and ground force reaction throughout the golf swing. The result is a patented square-toe design giving the wearer’s toes room to lie more naturally and comfortably, while creating a wider footprint.
The wider shoe base and heel stabilizer construction provide improved balance and stability which are important keys in hitting better golf shots.
Robert Winskowicz, SQAIRZ Founder and CEO, talked about the significance of the changes their technology has brought to the market.
“SQAIRZ’s unique design broke the mold of traditional shoes to provide better balance and ground reaction force, resulting in increased swing speed and more consistent accuracy. Tour pros are winning while wearing SQAIRZ on tour, plus thousands of satisfied customers are playing the best rounds of their lives.”
The new models are designed for 18-hole comfort, plus they are 100% waterproof. The outsole traction pattern was created using sophisticated artificial intelligence software programming with the nubs of varying heights located in a rotational pattern with Softspikes PIVIX cleats. The company says this creates remarkable traction having 290 points of contact with the ground and helping to create “optimal ground force production.”
Wearers will also like the Sta-Put laces which have tiny nubs of silicone on each lace to assure a snug fit and do not come undone during your round.
Each of the new models also has a breathable textured tongue and an external foot stabilizer running from the heel to the arch.
In keeping with the goal of making golf shoes with the extra features golfers appreciate the new ProS2, Speed2 and Velo also have a removable compression foam footbed and side gussets around the tongue for complete protection from moisture or debris entering.
The ProS2 retails for $199.97 in a choice of black, gray, white with black accents, or white with a blue accent. Speed2, priced at $179.97, is offered in five color combinations, while the Velo model, at $219.97, is available in either black/white, or blue/white combinations.
All three of the new models will be available for preorder March 1, with shipment beginning March 14.
If you are a serious golfer trying to gain any advantage on the course, try SQAIRZ performance-based golf shoes to create better balance and stability throughout your golf swing, then watch your handicap decrease.
