Barefoot-style golf shoe pioneer TRUE linkswear is introducing a spiked shoe for the first time as part of its 2015 Spring/Summer Collection.

[quote_box_center]“Everything we do in the design and manufacturing of our shoes is run through a comfort filter, so to speak,” said Jason Moore, TRUE linkswear vice president of product development. “If it doesn’t make the shoe more comfortable, we don’t include it. We’re confident that golfers will have that WOW! moment when they wear our new [shoes]…we don’t mind guaranteeing it with a 30-day return policy.” [/quote_box_center]

This year’s spiked models include the Game Changer Pro, Classix and Fairways. In order to maintain the barefoot feel the company is known for, designers created different sole designs for the different models.

Game Changer Pro

GC_PRO

The company “utilized an ultra-thin, lightweight proprietary rubber mesh compound created by a biomechanical engineer in the midsole” for its Game Changer Pro shoe.

[quote_box_center]“By using P-Motion we eliminated the feel of pressure points under the foot caused by soft spikes,” Moore said. “This allowed us to make the thinnest and most flexible replaceable spiked shoe in the industry without the feeling of seven spike platforms under each foot.”[/quote_box_center]

Premium leather upper in four color styles, including black with white accents, white with grey accents, white with TRUE red accents, and grey with trophy gold and white accents. Ships March 2. MSRP $189.99.

Classix

CLASSIX

TRUE linkswear describes the Classix as a “combination of traditional styling and innovative design that answered the requests from many of the top players.” They were the model Ryan Moore was wearing when he won the CIMB Classic earlier this year.

Their design includes:

A full-grain premium leather upper with a throwback saddle style
Flexible outsole featuring a thin and lightweight rubber tread system
Replaceable, low profile and flexible Champ Zarma Tour soft spikes
Champ StreetCaps are also included that allow you to convert the shoe to a comfortable street tread
A thin EVA midsole

Ship April 2. Available in three color styles, including grey with white accents, black with white accents, and white with royal blue accents. MSRP $219.99

Fairways

FAIRWAYS

The company is also unveiling a new spiked shoe for women, its the Fairways model.

Their design includes:

Similar to the Classix with hand-finished detailing and a full-grain premium leather upper
Minimal and modern wingtip style
Flexible outsole featuring a thin and lightweight rubber tread system
Replaceable, low profile and flexible Champ Zarma Tour soft spikes

Available in three color styles, including white with teal accents, black with pop pink accents, and white with grey accents. Ship April 2. MSRP of $149.99.

No photo of the pseudo spikes? What gives? The title of this article is misleading. “Get it right next time hinkle.”

I’ve tried different versions of True shoes and they are beyond comfortable, even with my orthotics. However, they just don’t last. I’m heavy on my feet, so I get this is a me problem, but still I’d barely get half a season out of them. And I’m in Canada, so it’s not exactly a super long season.

The headline says the added ‘Spiked Golf Shoes’ but they do not show the spikes?

Makes you wonder if the original soles worked,

Seems like they are putting up a white flag.

bit of a shame they messed with the logo which is placed absolutely on the wrong spot. Put the ‘T’ on the side, bottom or back of the sole, but please not where it is on each model. Just makes the classic design look cheap. Its not J.Lindeberg or FJ icon to be a statement. In terms of design they borrowed from both FJ and Ecco. Guess with that price tag people will go for FJ or Ecco that are much more trusted and established.

Too pricey for what they are. Like said below, I’d rather spend a tad more for a pair of Ecco’s.

I think they need to come out more bright colors in guys shoes. I have worn trues exclusively for a few years with well over double digits of them, but need a broader color scheme out of them

Can’t wait for my CC to carry these. Will definitely be ordering a pair of the Classix.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
