The sensible questions. Straight answers.

01Barefoot & fit
Is this a barefoot shoe?

It is a golf shoe first. It borrows what matters from barefoot footwear — zero drop, a natural toe box and a thin flexible sole — and keeps a leather upper, a proper collar and golf traction.

How does sizing work?

Fits true to size in length, with noticeably more room across the toes. Order your normal US golf shoe size. The size guide shows foot length for every size. Buying as a gift? Exchange for a different size within 30 days of delivery.

Do I need to transition?

If you have only worn cushioned, raised-heel shoes, start with nine holes and build up. Most golfers are walking 18 within a couple of weeks.

02On course
Is the traction as good as spiked shoes?

The outsole uses deep multi-directional lugs designed for turf. It is a spikeless shoe; we would not claim it out-grips a full-spiked tour shoe on a wet hillside.

What about wet turf?

The protective rubber outsole is built for dewy mornings and damp fairways. Treat the leather like any leather golf shoe.

Are they waterproof?

The leather upper is treated and handles morning dew. They are not a rain boot; for sustained rain, treat them like any leather golf shoe.

03Orders
When will my pair ship?

Ships in December 2026 from our first production run, and arrives before Christmas. You are charged when you reserve.

What is the return policy?

30 days from delivery to return, or to exchange for a different size. Indoor try-on: wear them around the house, take some swings, even hit balls off a mat at an indoor facility. If they are not right, send them back clean and resellable.

Pairs worn on a course or outdoors can’t be returned. Like any leather shoe, expect a short break-in period.

What is the Founders Edition?

The first production run. Each pair ships with a pebbled leather accessory bag, a foot roller, spare laces and the Founders box.
