The ifrothgolf review
The LUX Pro is TRUE Linkswear's premium leather spikeless shoe, the result of a decade of tinkering with their go-anywhere walking formula. Full-grain waterproof leather upper, a WANDERLUX superfoam midsole that soaks up the pounding of a walking round, a snug padded heel cup, and a low 6mm drop that keeps you close to the ground. Around 11.5 oz per shoe, so genuinely light. It is the kind of shoe you can play 18 in, then walk into a bar without looking like you came straight off the range.
What's great
The comfort is the headline and it earns it. The superfoam takes the sting out of every step, so a full walking round leaves your feet noticeably fresher than a stiffer, plasticky golf shoe. Waterproofing is properly good, holding out everything from morning dew to a hose test. The leather upper gives you more structure and lockdown through the swing than most minimalist spikeless shoes, and the off-course traction and looks are the best in the TRUE range. Clean, understated, and easy to wear off the course.
Worth knowing
Two honest things. First, the tread is not TRUE's most aggressive, so in genuinely sloppy, wet, sloping conditions you can feel it let go where a spiked or chunkier-lugged shoe would hold. If you play a lot of winter golf on hills, look elsewhere. Second, fit can be a lottery: narrow-footed golfers have reported heel slip, so try before you commit or be ready to swap sizes. It is also a premium price for a spikeless shoe. Worth flagging too that the LUX Pro itself has been superseded in TRUE's current lineup, so you are often buying the latest LUX equivalent rather than this exact name.
The verdict
If your priority is walking comfort and a shoe that looks good on and off the course, this is about as good as spikeless gets, and the leather build adds real swing stability. Just go in with eyes open on wet-weather grip and try the fit first. For fair-weather walkers it is a genuine 9/10; for muddy winter warriors, knock a couple of points off and look at something with more bite.
