TRUE Linkswear continues to design and create golf shoes that are easy to wear on the course and stylish enough to wear beyond it. New for 2020 is the ECO Knit from TRUE. The ECO Knit is a shoe with a story and it is one that the newest generation of golfers will stand with. Possibly the greatest part about the ECO Knit shoe is that they are fabricated from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. Minimizing the global imprint for every pair sold and enabling golfers to give back to the courses they love so much.


Ugh to wear beyond it. New for 2020 is the ECO Knit from TRUE. The ECO Knit is a shoe with a story and it is one that the newest generation of golfers will stand with. Possibly the greatest part about the ECO Knit shoe is that they are fabricated from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. Minimizing the global imprint for every pair sold and enabling golfers to give back to the courses they love so much.

Key Features

TRUE’s lightest weight shoes ever, the ECO Knits weigh only 7.4 ounces.

Each pair of ECO Knits are designed with 100% post-consumer recycled materials to improve sustainability.

ECO Knits feature a zero heel drop for improved comfort and both on course performance and off course functionality.

Design and Technology

The ECO Knits are singular in that they allow golfers to give back to the planet as they practice and play. TRUE Linkswear’s Fore the Planet campaign improves sustainability and drives the initiative to keep golf going for a long time. 

ECO Knits are molded with an aggressive tread pattern to help golfers stay locked in even with the lightweight profile. The cushioned footbed is excellent for golfers that choose to walk or for coaches on their feet all day long.

The ECO Knits are lightweight, versatile golf shoes designed with a minimal profile. These no-heel drop shoes are best for players that love to be on their feet and that often play in ideal weather conditions.
