Golfers with wide feet no longer need to choose between comfort and performance. SQAIRZ, a leader in performance-driven athletic footwear, has launched wide-fit golf shoes in response to strong consumer demand. This move underscores the brand’s commitment to catering to a broader range of golfers worldwide while enhancing its product offerings.
I, for one, need a wider shoe for everyday use, for walking, and for playing golf. My choice was limited to New Balance. Great shoe but was missing certain elements and features such as aesthetics, stability, and overall more room and a bigger last that improves toe comfort and maneuverability.
Another benefit I have received from SQAIRZ is that without changing any of my current equipment, I have reduced my strokes by at least 4 shots, picked up at least 2 mph in swing speed, and 10 yards in distance off the tee since using SQAIRZ shoes.
One of our testing group, Todd Wright of the Plantation Club in Indio raves about how comfortable and stable he feels with the shoes, especially the way his toes have space and stability in the shoe and how much more distance his 5 pairs of SQAIRZ have given him—between 7-9 yards depending on which club he is using.
SQAIRZ shoes also improve balance through their wide base, ultra-secure fit, high-tech heel stabilizer, and next-generation spikes. Better balance promotes a stronger, more consistent swing, and solid contact with the ball. “When you lean too far to the left or right, or forwards or backwards, your arms will follow the wrong path,” Robert (Bob) Winskowicz says. “But if I can keep you balanced on your feet, you’ll be able to control your body throughout the swing and create more energy. The club is just along for the ride, while the ball is sitting there, waiting for contact,” says SQAIRZ founder Robert (Bob) Winskowicz.
Expanding Comfort and Performance
SQAIRZ has earned a reputation for delivering top-tier performance in golf footwear. The introduction of wide-fit shoes builds on this legacy, offering golfers a new level of comfort. Known for its patented wide toe box, which promotes natural toe splay and improved balance, SQAIRZ now offers shoes with a wider fit across the toe, forefoot, and midfoot.
While SQAIRZ shoes have always been designed to improve stability and comfort by avoiding the inward taper found in many athletic shoes, the new wide-fit option enhances this by offering even more room. This ensures that golfers with wider feet can now benefit from both SQAIRZ’s innovative design and a roomier overall fit.
Wide Shoe vs. Wide Toe Box: What’s the Difference?
The terms “wide shoe” and “wide toe box” are often used interchangeably but refer to different design elements. A wide shoe, typically marked by sizes like EE, offers additional width across the entire shoe, especially under the forefoot and midfoot. This provides more space for those with wider feet, helping reduce tightness and improve comfort.
A wide toe box, however, refers to the space from the ball of the foot to the toes. It allows the toes to splay naturally, improving balance and reducing pressure. SQAIRZ has long incorporated this feature, but the introduction of wide-fit shoes offers an overall broader design, enhancing comfort for golfers with wider feet.
SQAIRZ’s Unique Approach
Let’s face facts: When you’re out on the golf course, having a comfortable pair of shoes to walk 18 holes can be the difference between a great game and a painful ride home!
SQAIRZ has stood out in the golf footwear market with its patented wide toe box, which promotes natural toe movement and improved stability. By avoiding the inward taper common in traditional athletic shoes, SQAIRZ provides a more natural fit, enhancing performance on the golf course.
With the new wide-fit option, golfers who need more room across the entire shoe can now experience the same stability and comfort that have long defined the SQAIRZ brand.
Comfort Without Compromise
SQAIRZ’s wide-fit golf shoes embody the brand’s mission to deliver the most comfortable, stable, and performance-enhancing footwear in the industry. Wide-footed golfers no longer have to sacrifice performance for comfort. Whether you prefer a standard or wide fit, SQAIRZ offers shoes designed to help you play your best with proven technology.
SQAIRZ continues its mission to create the most comfortable and stable golf shoes on the market. With the new wide-fit options, golfers of all foot shapes and sizes can now enjoy the full benefits of SQAIRZ’s innovative technology and elevate their game.
