SQAIRZ PROS2 Golf Shoes Review

When SQAIRZ sent over their ProS2 LTs, my 'marketing radar' went off. Another shoe promising to fix my balance and add distance? It’s a classic golf industry anthem, and frankly, I was tired of the tune. I went in expecting more of the same. But as I pulled these featherlight shoes from the box (we're talking 401 grams for my size 8.5), something felt different. The ComfortFlex microfiber upper had this premium grain texture that immediately caught my attention, not the plastic-y feel you get with some synthetic golf shoes, but something that actually felt like it belonged at a private club.

The classic styling threw me for a loop, too. After years of golf shoes that look like they escaped from a sci-fi movie, here was something I could actually wear to the 19th hole without getting side-eyes from the old-timers. But it was the toe box that really made me pause. Even just holding them, I could tell these were roomier up front than any performance golf shoe I'd tested. And after logging over 100 rounds in different SQAIRZ models over the past three years, I knew this wasn't just marketing fluff.

Let me put this in context: at 424 grams (size 9), the ProS2 LT is over 100 grams lighter than the original ProS2. That might not sound like much when you're holding them in the pro shop, but trust me, your feet know the difference by the 14th hole. I've played three straight days at Bandon Dunes in these shoes, walking all 54 holes, and the reduced fatigue is real. My playing partners were popping Advil and soaking their feet while I was ready for another loop.

The weight reduction comes from that ComfortFlex microfiber upper, which SQAIRZ has somehow made both lighter AND more waterproof than before. I tested these in Oregon's notorious sideways rain (because of course I did), tramping through soaked rough that would've turned my socks into sponges with lesser shoes. Not a drop got through. The grain-textured microfiber breathes like a premium leather but weighs about as much as a polo shirt.

What really sold me was a recent buddy trip to Pinehurst. We played 36 holes in a day, and by the second round, everyone else was complaining about their dogs barking. Meanwhile, I felt like I could've gone another nine. That's when the weight difference becomes more than just a spec sheet bragging right; it's the difference between enjoying those final holes and just surviving them.

Here's where SQAIRZ earned my respect: that wider toe box isn't just marketing speak. I've got wider feet (thanks, Dad), and most golf shoes force my toes into an unnatural position that kills my balance. The ProS2 LT's patented roomier toe box lets your toes spread naturally, exactly like they would if you were barefoot. I measured it against my FootJoys and Adidas tour shoes, and we're talking about 8-10mm more width in the forefoot.

The initial time I really noticed the difference was during a lesson with my instructor. He's always harping on me about maintaining balance through impact, especially with the driver. Within three swings in the ProS2 LTs, he asked what I'd changed. When I showed him the shoes, he actually borrowed them for a few swings himself. (He ordered a pair that afternoon.)

The stability improvement isn't subtle. On sidehill lies where I'd usually feel like I'm fighting to stay balanced, these shoes plant you like a tree. I tracked my stats over 10 rounds, and my fairways hit improved by 12% compared to my previous three-month average. Now, I'm not saying it's all the shoes, but when you're more balanced over the ball, good things happen. Even Sir Nick Faldo and David Leadbetter have endorsed these, and those guys don't attach their names to junk.

The NRG-Foam EVA midsole deserves its own love letter. SQAIRZ claims "best-in-class energy return," which usually translates to "marginally better than average" in golf gear speak. Not this time. The cushioning is immediately noticeable, like stepping from concrete onto a yoga mat. But here's the kicker: it doesn't compress and lose its bounce after a month like some foam midsoles I've tested.

I've put over 40 rounds on my pair, including range sessions, and the energy return feels identical to day one. That responsive push-off you get walking up hills or powering through your swing hasn't diminished at all. The foam extends through the entire midsole, not just the heel and forefoot like some brands that shall remain nameless (looking at you, Nike).

The real test came during a corporate outing where I walked 27 holes in 95-degree heat. By the final nine, when everyone else was dragging, I still had spring in my step. My smartphone actually logged 23,847 steps that day, and my feet felt better than after some cart-only rounds in other shoes. The added cushioning in the tongue creates this perfect heel pocket that eliminates any slipping or hot spots. It's the kind of comfort that makes you forget you're wearing golf shoes.

SQAIRZ's AI-Generated Hybrid Traction system sounds like something from a tech startup pitch, but the SmartTraction outsole is legitimately impressive. The lug pattern varies across different zones of the sole: aggressive cleats where you need grip during the swing, lower-profile nubs where you need walking comfort. I've tested these on wet grass, hard pan, sand, and even cart paths (accidentally), and they grip everything. The shoe features 12 removable PIVIX Softspikes that deliver exceptional grip when you need it most, especially during those critical power transfers through your swing. The system provides over 290 points of ground contact, ensuring you maintain grip regardless of the terrain or conditions.

The integrated TPU stabilizer that runs from heel to arch is the secret sauce nobody talks about. It prevents that ankle roll you sometimes get in soft spikeless shoes, especially on uneven lies. During my swing, I can feel it working; there's zero torsion or twist, just pure lateral stability. The Sta-Put Lacing System with silicone-printed laces might seem gimmicky, but once you dial in your fit, it stays locked all day. No re-tying at the turn.

I put these through the supreme test at TPC Sawgrass during tournament week when the rough was thick, and the slopes were severe. Not once did I feel unstable or lose my footing, even after hitting from some genuinely sketchy lies. The side embossing adds structure without weight, creating these stability zones that work with your natural foot movement. After testing over 30 golf shoes in the past five years, this traction system ranks in my top three.

When I saw "100% waterproof premium ComfortFlex microfiber," I expected these to be priced like Tour-level FootJoys or G/Fore fashion statements. Surprise, they're actually positioned competitively with mid-tier performance shoes while providing premium features. The microfiber upper isn't just lightweight; it's genuinely waterproof (I tested it with a garden hose because I'm thorough like that), breathable enough for August afternoons, and cleans up with a damp towel.

You can also opt for full-grain leather versions if you're more traditional, but honestly, the microfiber performs better in every metric except maybe that new leather smell. The synthetic elements are strategically placed for structure, not cheapness. After three months of heavy use, there's zero delamination, no worn spots, and the white colorway still looks fresh after a quick wipe-down.

The attention to detail shows in places you wouldn't expect. The insole is removable and actually comfortable (not that thin piece of cardboard some brands use). The heel counter is substantial without being rigid. Even the lace eyelets are reinforced properly. These are built like shoes that retail for $250+, but you're getting them for much less.

Absolutely, while the Sqairz ProS2 Golf Shoes is a great product, there are a few pros and cons that you need to be aware of:

Pros:

• Superior Stability : AI-generated Smart Traction system with over 290 ground contact points.

• Waterproof : 100% waterproof ComfortFlex microfiber upper.

• Performance Enhancement : Increases vertical impulse by 46% for improved power.

Cons: 

• Initial Stiffness : Requires a break-in period.

• Expensive : Priced at $199.97.

• Sizing Adjustments : May require sizing adjustments from other brands.
