“Premium, hand-selected, soft full grain leather and luxurious calfskin details. Refinements only exceeded by the soft, supple sheepskin linings and lightweight performance materials.
“Introducing our revolutionary VersaTrax+ technology delivering unparalleled traction and stability in every playing condition and on every playing surface.
“Specifically arranged, multi-directional traction elements create an impermeable defense against swing forces that can come from any angle.
“Multiple durometers of TPU and Pulsar cleats by Softspikes provide traction characteristics targeting different types of surfaces. Harder TPU elements and Pulsar cleats by Softspikes for ultimate on course grip, and softer TPU for traction on harder surfaces.
“A firmer density cup around the heel provides perimeter heel support and stability through the swing. And the latest OrthoLite EcoPlush FitBed is a custom cushioning system designed to limit walking fatigue for all-day comfort and performance.”
