True Linkswear OG Premium Review
$179.00
Overall, the True Linkswear OG Feel golf shoes are highly regarded for their performance, comfort, and design. They provide excellent traction, are easy to clean, and offer good arch support. While some users have mentioned issues with slipping into and lacing up the shoes, as well as a weak sole, these seem to be minor concerns compared to the overall positive feedback. Comfort is another major highlight of these shoes. They’re hands down the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn. The cushioning and support they provide make walking 18 holes feel like a breeze. And let’s not forget about the ample toe box space – my feet can finally breathe comfortably during those long rounds.

Our Experience
Having already tested the TRUE Knit golf shoes from TRUE Linkswear, my expectations of the OG Premium shoes were high. The TRUE Knits have become my go-to shoes for testing and playing ever since they arrived. The only problem, the TRUE Knits are not waterproof. Enter the OG Premiums as the perfect option for early morning rounds or testing and play during or after rain. Heading into fall and winter, the OG Premium shoes could not be better and I’m looking forward to the versatility they provide.
The OG Premium shoes are beautiful full leather constructions but look nothing like the traditional golf oxford. They stand out in terms of comfort and fit more than any other waterproof golf shoe I have ever worn. As shoes become more reinforced with protective materials, they often become heavy. Heavy golf shoes are bad for everyone and can place unnecessary stress on you and your body during your practice and play. The team at TRUE continue to impress me with their ability to put together a complete golf shoes that delivers on all their promises of comfort, fit, feel, and off-course versatility.
