Sqairz entered the golf footwear market nearly three years ago with a simple, unique design element: a wider squared-off toe. The design, however, provides more than just comfort by allowing the wearer’s toes to sit and spread out naturally inside the shoe.
The upshot of Sqairz’s unique design feature is it provides better balance and stability, and the added connection to the ground has been proved in testing to increase swing speed about 3 mph and improve distance by 8-plus yards.
“It's one thing to create the pressure but then it’s the balance and stability that allow you to optimize that pressure, and that's what this shoe does,†said Bob Winskowicz, the founder and president of Sqairz. “It gives you the advantage to have more balance, more stability and more ground connection so you can utilize that pressure. It's not the ball. It's not the club that produces this energy. It's the shoe, and that's our tagline this coming year. It's the shoes.â€
Sqairz’s most popular and athletic style is the Speed ($199), which is guaranteed to be 100 percent waterproof for two years. The wider toe and base under the ball of the foot provides balance and stability, its TPU heel stabilizer creates improved range of motion while six strategically placed replaceable Softspikes Pivix cleats maximize traction. The foam midsole provides maximum responsive cushioning.
The new Speed Mesh ($199) has a water-repellant upper material providing enhanced breathability for those who play in the extreme heat. Sqairz’s innovative Mesh design integrates the midsole, outsole and heel stabilizer to provide the structure needed to channel the ground force and optimize swing speed.
