Staff WriterHave you heard the news on the TRUE OG3 Pro yet? This isn’t just another golf shoe drop—it’s a sensory wake-up call.
TRUE linkswear has taken its earthy, Pacific Northwest roots and channelled them into a design that’s as much about feeling grounded as it is about looking sharp. Whether you’re teeing off, trekking through nature, or just chasing that all-day comfort, this one’s built to move with you.
Now, with an exceptional lineup of shoes, hoodies, polos, pants, and headwear, the brand speaks directly to the untamed spirit of hikers, surfers, and nature-lovers, all while continually winning the hearts of an ever-growing community of devoted golfers.
A Natural Connection to the Turf
TRUE linkswear has never wavered from its guiding principle: give golfers a uniquely close bond to the fairway beneath their feet.
When they launched their first golf shoe, the Original Tour T1, back in 2009, it immediately stood out for its minimalist, barefoot feel.
Designed expressly for walking golfers seeking wellness and comfort, the T1 established a foundation that informs every pair of TRUE shoes to this day.
“Simply put, this platform “is the most natural and ergonomic position for your feet,” says Mark Millerd, the brand’s Director of International Sales.
“The zero-drop – which means it’s level from heel to toe – does not place additional stress on the forefoot, and higher up the chain.
A wide footbed enables the toes to function from a position of strength and stability, rather than restricting their movement.
The goal is always to provide a neutral platform that follows the shape of a person’s actual foot.
This combination of wide toe box, zero drop and flexibility allows the foot to function as intended. Artificial stiffening, excessive heel stack height, and tapered footbeds often contribute to discomfort and footwear-related issues.”
This unwavering commitment to “TRUE DNA”—wide toe boxes, level or low-drop platforms, and flexible construction—results in the brand’s signature comfort.
Materials are carefully chosen for premium waterproofing and adaptive uppers that conform to the shape of each golfer’s foot. Every detail is aimed at enhancing overall feel, comfort, and performance.
PGA PRO Input Fuels Innovation
A key driving force in TRUE’s development is PGA TOUR professional Ryan Moore, one of the brand’s co-founders.
Determined to find a shoe that worked better for his own feet, Moore collaborated with his brother Jason (the brand’s CEO) to craft the first versions of the Original.
“Ryan’s influence on the development of our product lines continues to this day,” says Millerd.
“Feedback from our roster of Tour players has also helped guide the next generation of TRUE products.”
That insight, gleaned from the best golfers in the world, helps ensure the finished product resonates with amateurs and pros alike. TRUE’s commitment to natural movement is central to improving a golfer’s footwork and turf connection.
“By reducing the stack height underfoot (thin midsoles), providing a wide, stable platform (improved surface contact) and flexibly conforming to the golfer’s movement, the Original enhances the golfer’s ability to interact with the ground,” says Millerd.
“The goal is to function from a position of strength and utilise these ground force reactions to harness the feel, power and speed the golfer requires to swing efficiently.”
Evolution of the OG Shoe
TRUE’s initial success with a zero-drop, wide, and flexible golf shoe has led to countless enhancements.
Over the years, feedback from Tour pros, healthcare experts, and podiatrists sparked new variations on what the company now calls the OG shoe line—all anchored by those original design philosophies.
In recent seasons, they’ve introduced a cushioned zero-drop option (OG Cush), offering even more versatility.
And now comes the next big step: the upcoming TRUE OG3 Pro. This is the shoe for golfers who crave both natural foot alignment and a little extra plushness underfoot. Equally important—TRUE’s distinctive, modern styling remains unchanged.
“Finding our design voice has helped provide all the comfort benefits that our fans love, in a sleek and minimalist aesthetic,” says Millerd.
“The new OG3 looks great. We’ve upped the ante with a highly durable, spike-like outsole for superior traction and surface contact.
A traditional tongue gusset over the sock-fit collar featured in the Original 1.2 will be a welcome addition for many, too.
We’ve also included our cushioned zero-drop midsole (6mm from heel to toe) that provides a level platform with a layer of WanderLux cushioning. It’s an additional layer of comfort for those seeking an element of underfoot cushioning.”
