My foot felt really supported and locked in. Not that it was heavier, just more legit. With the Elements, I instantly felt like I wearing a more substantial shoe. In years past, True’s could be a little sloppy on the fit. Where the True Linkwear Element really wowed me was the fit. Ok, let me step back and talk big picture. So, bollocks on that exaggerated statement. I have actually seen people write about feeling wind through the shoes, but in a 25 mph wind during one particularly brutal round, I was not able to detect any wind blowing through. To that end, I have played a number of rounds in the high 80’s and thought they were plenty cool on the feet. The other feature that True is promoting is the breathability. My personal experience with the shoe has been 100% positive in terms of waterproof-ness as I have played in rain and walked many an early morning with heavy dew. Instead, the waterproofing is done via an interior membrane. Fortunately, the True Linkswear Element are absolutely waterproof even though they are not made of leather. Certainly there is no reason to own a shoe that cannot keep water out since H2O is such a big part of golf, whether it is a rain shower, mist, or morning dew. In today’s market, shoes need to be waterproof. This year, True has gone back to what they do best, create a walking shoe that has unrivaled comfort with new features that make it a must have.
Last year, True broke the mold with the Game Changer Pro, which was the first spiked shoe they had ever released. For 2016, True has what I think is their best shoe yet, the Element. However, by the 3rd generation, the shape was much slimmer without giving up the True feel. While I still loved the comfort, they did have a little clown in them. The early models of True Linkswear were often called “clown shoes” because of their wide toe box. While you may think it is really quick and easy to design shoes, the fact is that it is a long process from sketch pad to retail shelf. What has really been fun for me is to see the evolution of the brand. I have reviewed about 8 pairs of their shoes and still have about 6 that are in and out of rotation. Of all of the companies I work with, True Linkswear is one of my favorites.
