Yes. If you play tournaments, or you play wet golf, the $26 over the standard Antigravity is money well spent. You get a real spiked TPU outsole, a tougher TRUEdura upper and a second warranty year on the waterproofing. The midsole and the 4mm drop don’t change at all. If your golf is dry and casual, buy the cheaper model and keep the difference. That’s the whole call.
TRUE Linkswear built its name on wide toe boxes and low heel drops. The Antigravity is the shoe that pushed that idea into running-shoe territory. It runs a Pebax Superfoam midsole on a 4mm drop, and that foam comes from the same family used in elite marathon racing shoes. The Antigravity Pro is that platform with a tour-oriented outsole bolted underneath it. TRUE sells it at $225. The standard Antigravity sits at $199, and TRUE’s own OG3 Pro sits at $199 too, so you’re looking at three shoes from one brand inside a $26 window.
That’s the confusion I want to clear up for you first, because a lot of people land here thinking the Pro is a brand new shoe. It isn’t. It’s the same midsole, the same heel drop, the same TPU mudguard, and the same size run of 7 to 15 with half sizes. What changed is underfoot and around the foot. You get a spiked TPU outsole instead of the spikeless tread, a TRUEdura laminate instead of the laminated ripstop, and two years of waterproof coverage instead of one. If you already read my review of the standard Anti Gravity in the Sunset colorway, you know the comfort story. This page is about whether the hardware bolted to it earns another $26.
The competition matters to you here too. FootJoy’s Pro/SL sits at $185 and it’s the shoe people cross-shop against this one. The Adidas Tour360 24 has dropped to $170 from a $200 launch price. Both are real alternatives. So is TRUE’s own OG3 Pro, which is spiked, cheaper, and a completely different ride.
Designed for dedicated walking golfers, this model features a supple, laminated TRUEdura upper backed by a 2-year waterproof warranty, keeping feet bone-dry through early-morning dew and sudden downpours.

The Spiked Outsole Is What Your $26 Actually Buys
The upgrade is the sole, the skin and the warranty. Nothing above the foam changed, and the foam itself didn’t change either.
TRUE swapped that spikeless compromise pattern for an aggressive TPU outsole with integrated, replaceable spikes. That’s the headline, and on course it holds up. Four separate on-course write-ups describe the traction as a real, meaningful step up from the original. One of them wore the Pro exclusively in tournament rounds for a full season, including a wet morning round in Pennsylvania and a trip to Scotland. The tread gave all the confidence needed in both. Another said the shoe felt more planted through the swing than the cheaper model did.
Set against that, one benchmarking verdict is less flattering. It agrees the grip is better than the spikeless Antigravity’s. Then it puts the shoe behind the wider category standard, and specifically advises against it for wet conditions paired with a fast swing. Both of those can sit next to each other honestly. The Pro is clearly a step up from its own sibling, and it isn’t the grippiest spike system you can buy at $225.
The second half of your $26 is the upper. TRUEdura replaces the laminated ripstop, and it adds real structure and durability. It also won’t change much about your day-to-day experience of the shoe if you’re a casual golfer, and that’s the honest limit on it. The mudguard is the same low-profile TPU piece. The nylon speedboard carries over. So does the wide toe box option, and so does the 4mm drop.
Here’s how I’d think about it. You’re not buying a better Antigravity. You’re buying the same Antigravity with spikes, a tougher skin, and a warranty that runs twice as long, for $26.
The 10.5 Ounce Weight Claim Does Not Survive a Scale
TRUE prints 10.5 oz on the Antigravity Pro. It prints the identical 10.5 oz on the standard Antigravity. No independent weigh-in has produced that number on either shoe.
This is the sharpest thing in my notes, so let me lay it out plainly. One published shoe test put the cheaper spikeless model on a scale at 13.7 oz in a size 13. It then measured the Pro 0.9 oz heavier in the same test. A second, separate video weigh-in measured its own pair of the spikeless shoe at 12 to 13 oz, and its own pair of the Pro at 14 oz in a matched size. Two sources, two methods, same direction. The Pro carries more material, so it weighs more. Both of those weigh-ins came off large sizes, and a smaller shoe weighs less, so read them as a gap between the two models rather than as the number that lands on your own feet.
That matters for one specific reason. TRUE’s own framing is that the Pro adds no weight over the cheaper model despite the more aggressive outsole. That framing is wrong. It’s the one marketing line on this shoe I wouldn’t repeat, and if claimed weight parity is what’s tipping you toward the Pro, take it off the table.
Now the fair part. The measured gap is roughly an ounce, which is small next to what spikes do for how planted you feel. Nobody who weighed either shoe got anywhere near 10.5 oz, so the spikeless version is carrying the same inaccurate number. That’s a spec-sheet problem across the whole platform, not a reason to pick one TRUE shoe over another. Just don’t order the Pro expecting a 10.5 oz shoe, because that isn’t what turns up. If you want the real figure for your size, put the pair on a kitchen scale the day it arrives. You won’t get it off the box.
Two Years of Waterproof Warranty Is the Quietest Part of the Upgrade
The Pro doubles the standard Antigravity’s waterproof warranty from one year to two, and it’s the piece of the $26 nobody talks about.
Run the math the way you’d run it on anything else you buy once and keep. At $225 with two years of waterproof coverage, the Antigravity Pro works out to $112.50 for each year of that coverage. The cheaper shoe is $199 for a single year of it. So the shoe with the lower sticker is the worse deal per year of waterproofing, which is the opposite of what those two numbers suggest at a glance. That isn’t a small detail in a shoe whose entire pitch is a waterproof laminate.
Honestly, this is the part I’d lean on hardest if you’re on the fence. A waterproof golf shoe fails in one predictable way: the membrane gives up somewhere in year two, usually right when you’ve stopped thinking about it. On the $199 model you’re on your own at that point. On the Pro you’re still covered.
The coverage also held up where it counts. That season-long tournament use ran through a wet Pennsylvania morning and a trip to Scotland with no leaks noted, which is about as fair a real-world check of a waterproof claim as you’ll get outside a lab.
For context, FootJoy’s Pro/SL carries its own two-year waterproof warranty at $185. So the Pro matches the flagship spikeless competitor on warranty length rather than beating it. You’ll want to know that before you treat two years as a TRUE exclusive. It isn’t one. What it is, is a genuine upgrade over the shoe sitting directly beneath it in TRUE’s lineup, and it costs $26 to get.
The 4mm Drop Is Why This Walks Better Than a Traditional Spiked Shoe
The Pro keeps the 4mm heel drop, and in a direct back-to-back against a 12mm-drop spikeless flagship it scored 9.6 out of 10 for walkability against 7.2.
Heel drop is the height difference from your heel to your forefoot inside the shoe, and it’s the spec that decides how this walks. A 12mm drop tips you forward and loads the arch. A 4mm drop keeps you closer to level and closer to the ground. In that head to head against the FootJoy Pro/SL, the lower stance produced less arch fatigue over 18 holes and a better connection to the turf. The Pro also came out ahead on performance, 8.8 against 8.5. Those same scores put it above the spikeless Antigravity, which recorded 8.9 for walkability and 8.0 for performance in the same testing.
There’s a real caveat attached, and it’s about your feet rather than the shoe. The flat-footed foot type behind that walkability score is exactly the foot type a low drop suits best. If you’ve got a naturally high arch, the result can flip, and you should try both rather than assume the number transfers. That’s not a knock on the shoe. That’s basically how heel drop works.
The alternative worth naming is the Adidas Tour360 24, now around $170 after arriving at a $200 launch price. It undercuts the Pro by $55 and gives you a more conventional replaceable spike system with a longer track record. What it doesn’t give you is this stance. If low-drop, high-cushion walking is why you looked at TRUE in the first place, the Adidas is a different shoe, not a cheaper version of this one.
What I Don’t Love
You can only buy this shoe from TRUE. As of my last check it wasn’t listed at Amazon, PGA Tour Superstore, Golf Galaxy or Fairway Jockey, all of which do stock other TRUE models. That means you get no in-store try-on, no price shopping, and one channel for returns on a shoe where the sizing advice is to go up half a size. For a $225 pair you can’t put on your feet first, that’s a genuine annoyance.
The colorway range is thin too. You get Classic Black, Glacier White and Glacier Grey, and that’s the list. The spikeless version carries a wider lineup, so if you buy shoes partly on how they look, the cheaper one gives you more to choose from.
And I’m not going to bury the dissent. One credible take on this shoe argues the upgrades roughly equal the $26 price gap in value, meaning no net win, and points a general golf audience back toward the spikeless model. That view is aimed squarely at the casual, dry-weather golfer. For that golfer, it’s the right call.
Designed for dedicated walking golfers, this model features a supple, laminated TRUEdura upper backed by a 2-year waterproof warranty, keeping feet bone-dry through early-morning dew and sudden downpours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are TRUE Linkswear shoes good?
For comfort and walking, yes, and that’s the brand’s whole identity. TRUE builds around roomy forefoots and low heel drops, and this platform runs a Pebax Superfoam midsole on a 4mm drop. Nothing I read reported a break-in period on the Antigravity Pro, which is consistent with the rest of TRUE’s line. The waterproofing is backed for two years on the Pro and one year on the cheaper model. Where TRUE is weaker is spec accuracy, because that published 10.5 oz weight has never been confirmed on a scale on either version of this shoe.
Do TRUE Linkswear shoes run small?
The sizing guidance on this platform is consistent, and it points one way: order half a size up from your normal number. That applies to TRUE Linkswear shoes generally, and to the Antigravity Pro specifically. The shoe runs from size 7 to size 15 including half sizes, and there’s a wide toe box option if your foot needs room across the forefoot rather than extra length. This matters more than usual here, because the Antigravity Pro is sold direct only. You can’t walk into a shop and try a pair on, so getting the size right on the first order is on you.
Which TRUE Linkswear golf shoes are the best?
It depends on the ride you want, and TRUE gives you two genuinely different ones at almost the same money. At $225 the Antigravity Pro is a tall Pebax stack on a 4mm drop with spikes, and it’s the pick for tournament or wet golf. Drop to $199 and the standard Antigravity gives you that platform without the spikes, the tougher upper or the extra warranty year, which makes it the value pick for casual dry rounds. TRUE’s OG3 Pro is also $199 and also spiked, but it runs zero drop on a low-stack foam, so it’s a different philosophy rather than a cheaper Antigravity.
Are TRUE Links golf shoes anti-gravity?
Antigravity is a model name, not a claim about physics. It points at the midsole, which is a Pebax Superfoam stack chosen for high energy return relative to its weight. TRUE describes that foam as wrapping up around the foot in what it calls a “Bathtub Midsole Design” rather than sitting under you as a flat slab. What you’ll feel is a tall, soft, low-drop platform with a nylon speedboard running through it. The Pro uses the identical midsole, so any bounce difference between the two shoes comes from the stiffer outsole underneath rather than the foam itself.
What is the best golf shoe for the money?
Inside the set of shoes I looked at for this review, the cheaper spikeless model is the best value for most golfers, and the Pro is the better buy only if you actually play wet or competitive golf. The Adidas Tour360 24 at roughly $170 undercuts both with a conventional replaceable spike system and a longer track record. The FootJoy Pro/SL sits at $185 with the same two-year waterproof warranty the Pro carries. Pick on the golf you play. Paying $26 for spikes you never need is the easiest money to waste here.
Final Thoughts: TRUE Linkswear Antigravity Pro Review
The Antigravity Pro is a good shoe with an honest job. It takes a comfort platform people already like, then adds grip, a tougher skin and a longer waterproof guarantee for $26. On course that traction upgrade is real, and the walkability numbers against a 12mm-drop rival are the strongest argument in its favor. If you play tournaments, if you play wet, or if you just want your feet locked down through a hard swing, that $26 isn’t a hard sell. It’s the cheapest way to get spikes onto this particular midsole.
What stops me short of calling it a straight upgrade is who it isn’t for. If your golf is dry, casual and spikeless-friendly, the $199 shoe gives you the same foam, the same drop and more colors, and one credible read of the Pro says exactly that. The 10.5 oz weight claim is wrong on both models. Being sold direct only means you’re sizing blind on a brand where the advice is to go up half a size. Buy the Pro for the conditions you actually play in. Buy the cheaper one if those conditions never show up.
