I have a short story about the golf shoes which I wore during my journey along the Atlantic Links in June 2017. The shoes were supplied by New Balance Athletic Shoe. Here's my personal review of the very comfortable and highly functional athletic footwear which I wore during my journey along England's Atlantic Links. New Balance Athletic Shoe was the official footwear of Mike May's visit to the Atlantic Links:
Producing a top-notch golf shoe is not an easy proposition, but New Balance Athletic Shoe has figured out the solution to the equation. Designing and manufacturing a golf shoe that today’s golfer will buy and wear takes a creative mind. The finished product must be a shoe that blends comfort, fashion, durability, performance, and price. The durability issue is a key part of the design process because the game of golf is played in such diverse weather conditions that range from dry to wet. Naturally, the price point has to be affordable, as well.
The NBG2004 golf shoe from New Balance is a wonderful blend of every adjective and demand that a golfer can place on a golf shoe. It is comfortable, trendy, functional, waterproof, fashionable, striking, and very appealing to the eye. At the end of a round of golf, you have to remind yourself that it’s time to transition into another type of footwear because they are comfortable and easy on your feet. The shoes are so comfortable that going to play golf is a good excuse to wear them again. On the course, these shoes gives you the necessary grip, traction support that you will require to hit any kind of shot and walk or climb any type of golf course terrain.
The shoe comes in three different dominant colors: white, black, and brown.
From June 16, 2017 -- June 26, 2017, I was in the southwest of England where I played the six golf courses at the five clubs that comprise the Atlantic Links (www.atlantic-links.co.uk), which are located in the southwest of England, in the counties of Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall.
