Golf Shoes For “The Action Sports Crowd”
When I wrote about some of the lesser known makes of golf shoes the list included Radioactive golf shoes, about which I [a] knew nothing and [b] could find nothing about. Two months later Golf Shoes Blog gets a comment from a Chris (who is maybe in the emply or reward of Radioactive and or 13th green (online retail golf store)).
He says the following “Radioactive is a golf shoe company that specializes in skateboard shoe style. They are not for the traditional footjoy and dockers type golfer. They are marketed towards the action sports crowd (usually under 35yrs) I started golfing at 12 when my grandpa introduced me to the sport and cannot get enough. I am now 33 and also have enjoyed snowbarding, motocross, wakeboarding etc throughout my life. Being from San Diego the action sports lifestyle has a huge influence on my life. The Future from Radioactive provides a golf shoe with my style. No longer am I stuck with the “bowling shoe” look. The white/white is my favorite and is more comfortable than any typical golf shoe I have tried. I know these are not for everyone but it is great to have an option in golf that fits the style of my friends and myself. Anyway I hope this helps.” The shoes pictured by the way are the white on white golf shoes Chris “prefers” and sell at $48.95.
It does read like a press release doesn’t it! Chris if you’re 100% genuine please write and be offended! I will willingly apologise.
Anyway, good luck to the Radioactive people. Get a move on with your website (currently with those disappointing words – under construction). My view is that either you guys or Kikkor ought to get a move on with getting to market with a fully-rounded maker’s marketing package. I guess the same or similar crowd would be after these action “sports” golf shoes. Go get ‘em…
Is golf now an “action” sport or is it just that skateboarders have grown up?
PS nearly forgot any Golf SHoes Blog: Tech&Spec for the RadioActive/Golf Future/Golf Shoes/White&White
Durable, water-resistant leather and suede/additional internal waterproofing layer/FastTwist™ Cleat Insert System/Trisport™ Cyclone Cleats
NB. These run a little small so they suggest a half size larger than your regular shoes size for best fit
Nowadays, cross trainers or cross training sneakers are a type of footwear that bear the characteristics of many different types of shoes.
