Dawgs Golf Spirit shoes are known as 'The World's Lightest Golf Shoes'.


Dawgs Golf: Like Crocs, only more comfortable (Jan 2011)

...Over the holiday break, I was able to try the lightweight shoes from their Ultralite collection. Not only are the shoes lightweight, weighing about 10 ounces per shoe, but they are waterproof, as well. One of the unique characteristics about the shoe is the Velcro strap on top, which allows the golfer to decide how loose or tight to wear the shoe. With the Velcro strap, I was able to comfortably wear thick wool socks in the shoe, rather than having a tight fit with traditional golf shoes.

Looking at the sole, it's difficult to tell this wasn't a traditional golf shoe, as there are seven spikes to get the grip you need when swinging.

The light weight of the shoe is apparent on the greens. When standing over putts or chipping on the edge of the green, I often looked down to see if I was even wearing shoes.

Because the shoes are made of rubber, cleaning them is easy. After swinging in the shoes and walking around the course for a day, a little soap and water made them look as good as new...


My Year in Golf Shoes "..a look back at My Year in Shoes as I reflect on what I test-drove in 2010.."

This year, I decided, "let there be light," and that's what prompted me to try Dawgs golf shoes. The Dawgs Spirit model is the world's lightest golf shoe, according to its website www.DawgsGolf.com, weighing in at less than seven ounces for the men's model. I used the Dawgs Ultralite, which seemed as light as a pair of slippers.

There was a lot I liked about Dawgs. I felt like I was wearing sprinters' shoes, they were so lightweight. At $50 suggested retail, they're also ultra-inexpensive. (The even-lighter Spirits are $40.)

At first, I thought the lack of weight might lead to balance problems, as I'm prone to occasional bouts of happy feet during my perfectly smooth -- not -- swing. (In fact, in the '90s I favored Foot-Joy Classics, the handmade leather models, because they were heavy and kept my feet stable, or so I thought.) The Dawgs were no problem, and they were a pleasure to wear. The rubber outsoles are also easy to clean. They have Velcro straps -- no laces -- which is perfect for the lazy man like me who tends to slide his golf shoes on and off without tying or untying the laces. The insides are antimicrobial so you can supposedly play sock-less but I confess, I didn't try that.

Golf Gifts with New Twists - Under $50 (Oct 2010)

"Putting on the Dawgs: Think Crocs on steroids. Well designed with arch support, soft spikes and Velcro straps, although super light, they support your feet extremely well. For a crazy-looking shoe, Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes, which come in a range of colors, are remarkably comfortable and cost less than $50.

Not only are they great to travel with in these days where every ounce counts - especially practical when you want to take more than one pair of shoes - if they get yucky, they can be rinsed off under a faucet. www.dawgsgolf.com"




Dawgs Golf Shoes (Oct 2010)

"One of the coolest products at the PGA Merchandise show last year were the Dawgs Golf Shoes. Everybody wanted a pair!

We just received a few pairs to try out and I couldn't be more impressed. They are very lightweight but give you the same traction you would have with any other golf shoe. They fit right in my bag so they are great to take on trips, to the practice range and to the course.

The Spikes are a molded rubber spike so they are green friendly and can even be worn indoors since they are non marking.

When I got back from the course I still wore them around the house for a while and actually forgot I still had golf shoes on! ...

... For those of us who prefer comfort and style over a more traditional style show the Dawgs are a perfect fit."
