The 2010 PGA Show's Top Ten Products
DATE: May 2011
..#2 Dawgs Golf Spirit Shoes
This was another of the busiest
booths at the Show. More
importantly, I saw more smiling
faces and orders being written
at this booth than anywhere else
during my 3 days at the Show.
One of the most important
pieces of golf equipment is your
shoes. Playing a round of golf
involves lots of walking and your
shoes, if not fitted correctly or are
too heavy, can cause issues that
affect your game, both short term
and long term.
DAWGS has introduced a line
of lightweight shoes, including
golf shoes, which weigh just 7
ounces. They are extremely stable,
stylish and are ideal for moving
around dry golf courses. Their
only drawback is that they are
not waterproof and should not be
worn in wet conditions. DAWGS
are especially prolific on the LPGA
Tour.
Similar to the Crocs that have been
on the market for a while, DAWGS
has simply made a better product
both in support and styling and, of
course, comfort.
For “after the round”, walking and
driving, there is simply no substitute
that I could find in any shoe brand.
The built in properties of high quality
EVA (a.k.a. Closed Cell Resin) absorb
shock, protecting your heel and foot.
The shoes can be worn without socks,
are odor resistant, have great arch
support and a wonderful massaging
foot bed.
Golfing performance is further
enhanced by the Golf Spirit shoe’s
9 strategically placed soft spikes
embedded in rubber/EVA out soles,
keeping your feet planted firmly on the
ground.
Golfers wearing the golf spirit shoe
also benefit from a quick adjusting
Velcro strap for immediate comfort,
and ventilation holes for cool comfort.
The “Spirit” line is available in both
men’s (8-17) and women’s sizes from
5-11. It is suggested that you get the
size larger as there are currently no
half sizes. Their color combinations
are terrific.
Visit their web site to see all the
different styles, colors and uses for
their products. It’s a fun experience.
MSRP: $50
