What is a thintech shoe?
Golf manufacturers are, as most of you already know, notorious for developing faux technologies designed to lure gullible golfers into buying the latest, greatest, and largely unnecessary innovation with the hope that it might actually benefit their game. The thing is, the THiNTech thing actually made sense, and by many accounts it actually worked. It wasn’t long before all of the major players in golf footwear industry began releasing their own low profile shoe. Each one promised innovations beyond their competitor’s, and while those battles were being waged, almost no one noticed when startups like TRUE Linkswear crept into the marketplace. Unlike the big boys who constantly trying and one-up the other guy with Trademarks and games of techno buzzword bingo, my impression of things is that the guys at TRUE Linkswear boiled things down to a single word not usually associated with innovation; simplify.

What is the true Linkswer Eco Knit?
The TRUE Linkswer Eco Knit utilizes the same sole as last year’s TL-01 (review HERE ). As I noted in that review, this “spike” is slightly taller than on other TRUE soles and gives it wonderful traction . In speaking with the TRUE team, they told me that the TL-01 has become their most-worn model on the PGA Tour, which speaks to the functionality of this sole. What’s even better is that because each “spike” is larger than average, it also has better traction on everyday surfaces.

wondering if anyone can help with sizing? looking to pickup the true linkswear vegas.. I usually wear 12 or 13 in regular sneakers. I wear a 12 in the Nike Lunar Control II. should I go 12 or 13 in these?

I've found the Trues to be sized similar to other shoes I've worn. I wear size 10 in most everything, all my Trues are size 10 and fit similarly, with one exception.

I've made some post replies regarding the True Linkswear shoes that I have in my collection... read below link for my details (read the last post from my link... I'd say go up 1/2 a size):
Dpavs
From my experience with them it depends on your foot shape. Tru's to me tend to be a bit wider but shorter in length so your toes can run out of room in front quickly. So depending on how your current shoes fit, either go up a half size to a full size or not.
Fit & Comfort
I have a wide foot. It is more of a rectangle than a foot. One of the things that attracted me to the TRUE tours is the fact that they look wide. For me, the TRUE tours are true to size, although others have said that they go down a half size from normal to get a better fit. Not necessary for me but your mileage may vary.
Performance
Super comfortable on grass? I bet you can see where the performance score is going. I don’t think that I have ever walked a round in a shoe that is more comfortable than the TRUE tours . They are so comfortable to wear that there was more than one round where I just drove home in the TRUE tours rather than switching back into my non-golf shoes.
Value
The TRUE tours come in at around $150 a pair. While this is competitive with other shoes that offer the same waterproof performance, the lack of the ability to replace spikes does give me some trepidation about their longevity.

Introduction
- One of the biggest “Wow” products at the 2019 PGA Show was the TRUE Linkswear TL-01. The reason for the big reaction was simple: its weight, or lack thereof. A light shoe is great, but footwear needs to do much more to be useful on the course. I took the TL-01 to the course to see if it was more than a one trick pony.
Looks
- The TL-01 is the epitome of the “golf shoe that you can wear anywhere” trend. It’s a minimalist sneaker made from full grain Napa leather. There is virtually zero branding – just the embossed TRUE logo on the tongue and the tiny “TL-01” graphic on the heel. It’s the definition of clean and classic.
Feel
- The most notable thing about the TRUE Linkswear TL-01 is the weight. TRUE states that they weigh just 8.7 oz. For comparison, my TRUE Majors (review HERE) weigh 18.4 ounces in a size 13, and the TL-01 weigh just 10.7 ounces. This absence of weight makes walking noticeably more pleasant, on or off the course. You might think that the light weight co...
Performance
- When I first unboxed the TL-01, the sole caught my eye. The “spikes” are noticeably taller than those on the Major or the TRUE Knit (review HERE). This gives the TL-01 excellent traction. Also, the slightly narrower fit made my foot feel more locked in to the shoe and the turf. Something you will feel but not see is the zero drop heel. This has been a signature of TRUE shoes – the heel is …
Conclusion
- If you’re tired of changing shoes when you arrive at and leave the course, simplify with the TRUE Linkswear TL-01. These shoes look amazing in all situations, are light and comfortable, and they won’t let you down on the course.
