Our Experience
The Croco shoes are elegant and unlike anything we have had in to test previously. The Faux crocodile leather and hand stitching really standout in this low profile golf shoe. The things that were not quite so obvious were just how lightweight these shoes are even though they are made from leather. Wearing these shoes both to hit golf balls on the course and at some popular golf destinations like Top Golf and Drive Shack, I think these shoes provide the versatility many golfers are looking for. Players that especially like to take their game straight from the course to a dinner restaurant or other social event may be able to sneak away with only one pair of shoe the entire day thanks to the classy look and superior comfort of the Croco shoe.
