Going to the Dawgs
Try these comfortable lightweight golf shoes
By ED TRAVIS
Those in the category of golf traditionalists are apt to at
least frown when some of the modern styles appear on
the course. Caps worn backwards, cargo shorts and
flip flops don’t cut it unless worn by a six-year old.
Therefore when confronted with a new golf shoe that
bears a resemblance to the ubiquitous Crocs…well, you
can understand.
Billed as the ‘World’s Lightest Golf Shoe’ Dawgs do have
however some positive attributes and one of them is the
weight. They are very light as promised, only about 7
ounces but best of all they are very comfortable due to a
closed cell resin used in the sole to protect the heel and
foot. Add a molded arch support and nine spike outsole
and they are good alternative to traditional golf shoes.

The Dawgs Spirit model comes in sizes for men and
women (both $50) plus boys and girls ($40) and all have
a Velcro strap closure for a good fit. One drawback is
since the Spirit has ventilation holes they are not
waterproof, but that’s solved by the Ultralite model.
Ultralite models, just as comfortable as the Spirit, are
made for men and women (both $50), have the same
construction with no holes so if you play in wet conditions
they are perfect.
Both Dawgs models come in a variety of colors including
a women’s Ltd. Edition Spirit of two-tone pink sure to draw
attention from traditionalists and non-traditionalists alike.
