The Perfect Golf Shoe- True Links
My quest for the perfect golf shoe was much like finding the perfect girl to marry. I set a list of unbreakable criteria and I stuck to it. My list of priorities for the perfect girl were fairly simple:
- Cute
- Fun
- Doesn’t own 100 cats
- Not auditioning to be a star on “My 1000 Pound Life”
- Not a hoarder
Kelsey immediately checked boxes 1, 2, and 4. Boxes 3 & 5 were the reasons we dated as long as we did. They took more investigation.
The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far
I was nervous the first time I met my future in-laws. Besides my father-in-law owning a safe full of guns, I didn’t know if my future mother-in-law would be a cat lady or a hoarder. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Fortunately besides a small dog they had no other animals in their home. Check. In addition their house was clean and well kept. Not a hoarder. Check. Besides a room full of porcelain dolls (which I am still deathly afraid) of all of the boxes were checked. Porcelain dolls weren’t on my original list. I had to let it slide.
Me, a hoarder?
I am anything but a hoarder. I am as anti-hoarder as it gets. If I haven’t used something in 6 months I typically give or throw it away. My nephews have been the recipients of many great clothing items because of this. I don’t have coin or baseball collections and except for a moderate collection of golf shoes I feel like I’m a sane individual. I’m still trying to trim that collection down.
The Perfect Golf Shoe
I have tried every brand, make and model of golf shoe on the market. Most shoes I buy because they are on sale and feel somewhat comfortable in the store. After walking two holes in them though I realize they hurt my feet, aren’t waterproof, or are too heavy to comfortably walk 18 holes in.
The perfect golf shoes have very specific criteria.
The Perfect Golf Shoe Criteria
- Look Fresh (Not like they came from Ben Hogan’s closet)
- Lightweight
- Comfortable
- Return Policy
- Waterproof and breathable.
After years of searching the quest for the perfect golf shoe seemed to be a unachievable goal. Until…
True Links Golf Shoes
I was golfing with a friend two weeks ago. He was wearing the freshest pair of golf shoes I had seen in a long time: True Links. I had never heard of them. He saw an advertisement on Instagram and bought them. I loved them. Box 1 checked.
True Links 30 day Return!
I checked out their website: Truelinkswear.com They are a company in my home state, Washington. The had a nice variety of golf shoes, all the best looking shoes I had seen in a while. Most are priced around $150 a pair. This seems to be a reasonable rate for a nice pair of golf shoes and underpriced compared to most name brand models. It is especially a tolerable amount if they checked my other boxes.
After reading further it looks like they have a 30 day return policy! This is the only golf shoe company I have ever seen that offers that.
I Had to Try Them
My shipment came in the mail yesterday. Very Excited. A few things I noticed:
- They come with a shoe bag, not a box. Genius
- They are very lightweight/breathable
- Have you ever walked on pillows? That’s how they feel.
- Are my ankles cankles?
The Perfect Golf Shoe: True Links
It’s hard to believe but I think I came across the perfect golf shoe: True Links wins. Now i just need a pair of their waterproof shoes and I’ll be set.
Coincidentally if anyone is interested in the rest of my golf shoe collection let me know.
True Links: I’d be happy hoard any and all of your golf shoes. Feel free to send them my way.
