Searching For Golf Shoes…
Businesses usually know best – they test and they follow previous or best practise to refine their offer to the market… But that’s not 100% and it’s still disappointing for Golf Shoes Blog to travel all the way to the East of London (though I enjoyed the speeed and convenience of both the Jubilee line and the Docklnds Light Railway) to find less than a handful of golf shoes at the show! Lots of clubs and lots of destinations but not many golf shoes.
Why did Callaway have such a big stand and no golf shoes? Ditto Nike and no golf shoes? How come Nevada Bob’s had just one pair of golf shoes (Hi-Tec)? To me it seems a waste not to have more golf shoes, for the space they would take up! Maybe it’s one of the failings of businesses and that it was right hand/left hand stuff between two departments? Who knows…
So what was there? And I will come back to each with a separate post…
[1] Dawgs Golf Shoes (and their other work and leisure shoes from whence they have evolved). Interesting – and Golf Shoes Blog is going to test drive them soon. Possibly a shame that they just on show and weren’t actually for sale… maybe in the future… A review of the “world’s lightest golf shoes” to follow.
[2] Shoe M-G-K (ie magic) who were promoting their cleaner/restorer/conditioner for golf shoes (and other shoes). Again I’ll come back to this with a test drive.
[3] Geox golf shoes were he ones who first alerted me to the golf show but I didn’t manage to meet up with my contact… who I have now on the telephone. I’m going to get a pair to test drive – and apparently I can walk in 3 inches of water for two hours and they still won’t let water in. I’m not sure that I want to do that but the gist is that they’re mighty water proof – and come with a two year warranty. Watch this space for more info and a Golf Shoes Blog rate and review…
Meanwhile, see the previous Golf Shoes Blog entry on Geox golf shoes
