COLLINGWOOD, ON, Canada — September 7, 2016 – Biion Footwear, a Canadian manufacturer of inspirational and innovative footwear, played an integral role in Fareen “Far” Samji’s thrilling win. She credits Biion for keeping her base stable and balance strong which helped her capture her fifth International Long Drive Challenge Women’s Canadian Long Drive Championship.
Fareen Samji tweeted after her win, “My Biion Footwear powering my win of the Canadian Long Drive Title today!”
The sport of Long Drive demands a lot from the body starting at the feet. Long Drive Professionals generate club head speeds that exceed more than 130-MPH. It is crucial for these golfers in particular to keep their traction through impact and Samji understands this point more than the typical golfer.
Strong winds made this year’s competition extremely difficult. However, Samji wore her Biion spike-less hexagon-patterned cleats with Hextra-grip Technology to keep her feet firmly planted so she could explode at impact. Her 314-yard drive lead her to the Championship round where she out drove the competition and secured the title. Samji will be joining Team Canada I in Mexico this November to defend her title as Women’s 2015 ILDC world champion.
“We’re thrilled that Fareen wore her Biion Golf Shoes during the Canadian Long Drive Competition. It proves that our shoes aren’t just attractive but our technology is real and help Fareen tremendously with her traction. We thank her for her ongoing support of the brand and congratulate her on another impressive Long Drive title,” stated Biion Footwear CEO & President Rick Buchanan.
Samji’s Long Drive performances benefited from the many features Biion possesses. Biion’s honey-comb shaped sole provides more grip with less slip. The lightweight, flexible, and breathable EVA material kept her light on her feet as well as comfortable. Also, Fareen is a big believer in balance starting at the feet, and she credits her Biion Footwear for the extra help. Lastly, the tiny holes in each Biion shoe ensured her feet staying cool and fresh during the Canadian Long Drive Championship.
