TRUE Linkswear Original Golf Shoes Review
Even Better Than The Original

This is my official TRUE Linkswear Original Golf Shoes review!
I have been playing golf with these shoes for a long time. I have also used other shoes from True Linkswear in the past as well.
This is how I feel they compare to other golf shoes out there as well as my personal experience with them.
One of the big complaints over the years against TRUE was their appearance. Everyone that tried one on could feel the difference, but sometimes couldn’t get over the looks. The new Originals look amazing. I think the killed it with this new design. While they have limited their color selection, the white, black or grey/navy all look classy. I went with the grey/navy and they are look excellent with grey, navy or white pants. I actually think they look stylish enough to wear to the office or out to dinner. The new mid-top design also works really well with pants. The prior low top designs often let your socks show when walking.
The TRUE Original has one key component to the new design; the sock liner. This allow TRUE to offer a little more support, keep the fit a little snugger, without compromising on flexibility or comfort. It almost eliminates the need for laces, but to me is really the secret of their new design. The new design with the higher sock liner also works well with their 2 year waterproof guarantee. The low heel design of the past sometimes let water in on your socks, but these now have a higher heel area which improves their waterproof ability.
The TRUE Original has Zero Drop which I know isn’t for everyone, but I love it. I’ve come to appreciate a more “barefoot” feel when walking. Since moving to AZ, I go barefoot as often as I can so my feet are used to walking without drop. TRUE shoes feel very natural when on my feet. While golfing I also like the balance of not being raised up on my heels. This paired with a large toe box makes them feel like my foot can move and flex as it naturally does, not just how the shoe allows it to.
TRUE has been tweaking their outsole since day one. This new outsole is very aggressive with deep grooves and luggs, yet maintains a smooth walk on hard surfaces and lots of flex for grip on the turf. I’ve had great grip on the course, but have also used them hiking, going to the store and even out to dinner. The outsole is flexible, comfortable and grips nicely.
The out of the box comfort has been a staple with TRUE shoes and these are as good as ever. The moment they arrived, I put them on and have worn them many days since. I will arrange my clothes so that I can wear these shoes even if I’m not playing golf, that’s how much I like them. They really are comfortable to walk in, lounge in, play golf in or just about any other time you have a shoe on.
Summary
The new TRUE Original’s are even better than the first TRUEs. These Originals are their best shoe to date. The new style is excellent, the new quality is great and their comfort the best. These are the best golf shoes you can buy right now, and dare I say, one of my favorite shoes you can wear even when not golfing. You can enjoy any walk with these shoes on your feet. TRUE knocked it out of the park with their new Originals.
