Skechers Launches 2019 Footwear Range

9.23am 15th March 2019 - New Products

Skechers’ 2019 Go Golf shoe collection for men and women introduces 13 new designs, including the spiked PRO 4 shoes worn by Matt Kuchar during his recent victory at the PGA Tour’s Sony Open in Hawaii.

The 2019 Skechers Go Golf line continues to advance innovation and design through inspiration gained from the brand’s market-leading running and lifestyle divisions, as well as through crucial insight and feedback from a roster of Skechers Performance tour pros including Kuchar, Russell Knox, Wesley Bryan, Colin Montgomerie, Billy Andrade and Brooke Henderson. The resulting collection blends total performance with out-of-the-box comfort built specifically for golfers and the golf course.

A key innovation for 2019 is the new Gripflex spikeless TPU outsole featured on the new Mojo models. This revolutionary grip system boasts a combination of multi-directional cleats and lugs to provide superior traction and stability, all in a green-friendly design.

Skechers has expanded its range of shoe widths and sizes, with the 2019 range offering a new Relaxed Fit models featuring a roomier forefoot section to suit those with wider feet, while the addition of new Plus Fit sizes 14-16 (EU 49-53) in the Elite 3 and Fairway models expand the benefits of the brand to those with larger feet.
