Updated February 2024 to update current pricing information.

TRUE Linkswear continues to design and create golf shoes that are easy to wear on the course and stylish enough to wear beyond it. New for 2020 is the ECO Knit from TRUE. The ECO Knit is a shoe with a story and it is one that the newest generation of golfers will stand with. Possibly the greatest part about the ECO Knit shoe is that they are fabricated from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. Minimizing the global imprint for every pair sold and enabling golfers to give back to the courses they love so much.

PROS
  • The ECO Knits are TRUE Linkswear’s most affordable shoe ever and they are exceptionally comfortable.
  • The ECO Knits and TRUE’s Fore the Planet campaign enables golfers to be a part of something much larger than just buying a pair of shoes.
  • Lightweight performance and versatility help make the ECO Knit a great choice both on and off the course.
CONS
  • The lack of waterproofing makes the ECO Knits a difficult proposition for golfers that routinely play in inclement conditions.
  • Extremely aggressive swingers may prefer a shoe with additional support or traction.
  • Because the ECO Knit is made with recycled material, the color choices are limited at this time.

Conclusion

Golf provides clarity and enjoyment for millions of people each year. The global impacts of golf are both positive and negative as they relate to climate change. TRUE Linkswear’s dedication to enabling golf’s sustainability is noble and should be applauded. The ECO Knits are great shoes that are well designed and provide superior comfort and fit. The largest reason to buy them, however, is not because of what they are, it is because of what they are made from. Wearing ECO Knits is rewarding and for all of those reasons, we think they are here to stay.
