I'm always surprised by people who comment on products that they haven't tried. I was a foot joy golf shoe owner for years. I tried Sqairz when they first came out because my feet hurt after walking 18. Since purchasing Sqairz shoes, I no longer have any foot pain after golf, nor do I have to tie my shoes once or twice during the round. The silicon squares on the laces are ingenious!! I can't believe no one has done this before. Regarding the look, I get that some may not like a more square toe, but I can't tell you how many golfers have commented on how good they look. Lastly, I can say 100% that I get on average 7 more yards on my irons and 10-15 more on my drives. This additional length came after I began wearing Sqairz. Is this a coincidence, maybe. In closing, I never have wet feet after a round wearing Sqairz and I've played in wet conditions many times. I wouldn't buy any other shoe! Thanks Sqairz!
