About TRUE linkswear:
TRUE linkswear, a Scottsdale-based footwear company, created golf’s first shoe built on a barefoot platform, allowing the golfer to truly “Feel the Course,” and walk 36 holes right out of the box in total comfort. TRUE shoes, worn on the PGA Tour by Co-Founder and tour star Ryan Moore, were inspired by the emerging minimalist trend in running, where many shoes have shifted away from highly-engineered structures, such as arch supports and heavily-cushioned heels, to a shoe that better utilizes the anatomical features of the foot. TRUE brings this nature-engineered approach to golf by creating a shoe built on a barefoot platform featuring a wide-toe box so toes can function naturally through the swing, which encourages proper weight transfer, balance and natural stability. TRUE offers the thinnest sole in golf (2.5mm), while still providing the durability to stand up to the most avid player. TRUE products are now available at many national retailers, including Golfsmith, PGA TOUR Superstores, Golf Galaxy and GolfTown in Canada. For more information, visit www.truelinkswear.com.
