Sqairz

The folks at Sqairz sent me a pair of their spiked Pro S2 golf shoes ($199.97) to test and tell you what I thought of them.

As a brand, Sqairz emphasizes stability and a wider toe box for greater comfort throughout your six-mile stroll through a golf course. 

The white microfiber outer fabric resembles grainy leather in appearance but is also waterproof. 

The ProS2 model boasts what is called a Blumaka footbed, providing good cushioning and what marketing materials say is an “elevated energy return.”

I played four 18-hole rounds thus far, in wet and dry conditions. The stability story is real. I felt no slippage during driver swings, where that risk is greatest. 

As an old guy whose feet are more hobbit-like with every passing year, I also appreciated the wider toe box as the rounds continued.

The squared-off toe took a little getting used to, because it reminded me of dress shoes during the disco era of decades ago. That design feature may attract some folks and repel others, but Sqairz obviously has its vision and keeps to it.

The white North Pole Blue model they sent me has light blue trim elements matching Cape Henlopen High’s colors – a coincidentally nice touch for these parts.
