“We are incredibly honored to be recognized as top performers in
the golf industry,” commented Michael Greenberg, president of
Skechers. “Our Skechers GO GOLF® collection outperformed amongst
competitors because we use our unique innovations to deliver on
both stability and comfort. And we’ve now made the Best Spikeless
list with MyGolfSpy for two consecutive years further reflecting
the credibility of the GO GOLF line both on and off the
course.”
Skechers GO GOLF Elite V.3 was designed with a focus on comfort
to help golfers feel great through 18 holes of play. The waterproof
shoe features a spikeless traction outsole for a durable grip, a
TPU bottom plate for stability on the green, plus lightweight and
responsive 5Gen® cushioning. The Skechers GO GOLF Pro V.3 adds
replaceable Softspikes® for maximum grip.
MyGolfSpy compiles top products from each golf shoe category,
which are put through rigorous side-by-side testing and scored
across a range of weighted categories. Their findings are based on
factors including stability provided by the shoe throughout the
round as well as comfort of the shoe that a golfer gets straight
from the box and during the swing. Golf Digest’s studies are pulled
by Golf Datatech—a research firm providing the golf industry with
specialized market research.
Known for its lightweight, high quality, stable and comfortable
designs, Skechers Performance GO GOLF has achieved prominence
within the golf category, alongside the brand’s award-winning
running, walking and training collections. The Skechers Performance
GO GOLF apparel line offers athletes comfort and freedom of
movement through a wide assortment of styles constructed with
innovative moisture-wicking fabrics in a variety of colors for both

14—her sixth career LPGA win. The brand’s roster of elite golfers
wearing Skechers GO GOLF also includes Matt Kuchar, Russell Knox,
