Golf Shoes

It really does seem that everything in this world does come around full circle. Look at golf shoes. When people discovered the joys of hitting a ball around with a club, they didn’t give much thought to their footwear. Spiked golf shoes were born out of the need to stabilize the golfer’s feet on wet, sloshy greens. Around the turn of the 20th century, golf shoes were pretty much bowling shoes with spikes – and not loved by course groundskeepers. But as sneaker technology advanced, so did golf shoe technology. Today’s golf shoe design, like the one patented by Kazuhiko Kobayashi in 2003, provides more comfort to the golfer while providing improved traction without spikes. Groundskeepers everywhere are celebrating! We at BIG IP Law will be celebrating golf all month long.
