Colt Ford, SQAIRZ Release ‘Country Sole’ Golf Shoes
SQAIRZ, one of the fastest growing golf shoe companies, announced Monday (March 29) the launch of a new line of golf shoes called “Country Sole” created in partnership with country music star Colt Ford. The Country Sole shoe features red, white, and blue acoustic guitars on its sides and the word “USA” on the soles and bootstraps. The shoe also features all of the patented SQAIRZ golf shoe technology.
Ford, a former professional golfer, says of the partnership, “When I’m out there on the course, I want to know that I’m doing everything I can to play my best, and that includes wearing the right golf shoes. There’s no doubt that SQAIRZ are giving me the best ground force connection possible and that lets me get more club speed and distance. After trying out SQAIRZ and seeing the immediate impact on my game, it was a no brainer when I was asked to partner on the Country Sole.”
“I couldn’t imagine a better person to work with on the Country Sole,” says Robert Winskowicz, SQAIRZ’s founder and CEO. “Colt Ford is an icon in the country music world and represents what America is really all about – being independent, finding success on your terms and giving back to your community. We’re so proud to offer the Country Sole and to work with Colt on such a special pair of golf shoes.”
