SQAIRZ Signs Multi-year Endorsement Deal with PGA Tour Golfer Sepp Straka

Breakthrough golf shoe also unveils 2 new colors

SQAIRZ, the performance golf shoe that’s shown to help golfers hit the ball farther, today announced a multi-year endorsement agreement with PGA Tour professional Sepp Straka to wear and promote the innovative shoes.

Straka, who first wore SQAIRZ at the 3M Open during which he shot a final-round 63, will wear the shoes this weekend at THE NORTHERN TRUST, the PGA Tour’s first playoff event. As part of the deal, he will have the SQAIRZ logo on the collar of his shirt and golf bag, and will be featured in the company’s upcoming marketing material.

“We are thrilled to team up with Sepp Straka, who is on a considerable upward trajectory,” said Robert Winskowicz, SQAIRZ founder and CEO. “We believe that SQAIRZ provides unparalleled performance for golfers, and we’re excited to have Sepp showcase that on the tour.”

This week, SQAIRZ also unveiled two new colors for its inaugural line: Navy with White and Gray with Gray. Both are available now on the website.

The first Austrian to earn a PGA Tour card, Straka is in his second year on the PGA Tour and has two top-10 finishes this season. Since turning professional in 2016, he has 25 total top-10 finishes and a victory at the 2018 KC Golf Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour.

“Balance and stability are the keys to a great swing, and SQAIRZ provides a foundation that I’ve never had before,” Straka said. “I’m excited to work with the company to showcase the importance that shoes can have in any golfer’s performance.”

A big part of that performance equates to distance. A recent study, conducted by Golf Laboratories, Inc., revealed that amateur golfers wearing SQAIRZ, as compared with those wearing other shoes, gained an average of 2.2 miles per hour in swing speed and 8.8 yards in distance off the tee.

SQAIRZ’s professional staff also includes Sir Nick Faldo, who signed a long-term partnership agreement with the company in June.

SQAIRZ Announces Partnership Agreement with Acclaimed Golf Instructor Nick Bradley

Partnership will include weekly tips from Bradley at SQAIRZ.com, focusing on swing fundamentals

SQAIRZ, the breakthrough performance golf shoe that’s proven to help golfers increase distance, today announced a partnership agreement with highly-acclaimed golf instructor and best-selling author Nick Bradley.

As part of the partnership, Bradley, who has instructed more than 400 professional golfers and winners at all levels, including major champion Justin Rose, will develop and share weekly tips on SQAIRZ.com that focus on helping golfers improve their fundamentals.

“Nick Bradley is known all over the world as an innovative instructor, with a keen understanding of the importance of ground connection in developing a great swing,” said Robert Winskowicz, SQAIRZ founder and CEO. “Nick’s insight and understanding will be immensely beneficial to SQAIRZ, and we’re thrilled to have him join our team.”

Bradley has coached golfers to World No. 1, two European No. 1s, Junior World Championships and seven National Amateur Championships – as well as serving as a Ryder Cup consultant.

He has long believed that legwork and footwork are critical elements in developing a great swing. In his book, “The Seven Laws of the Golf Swing,” Bradley indicates ground force dynamics is the second-most important principle for any golfer - only behind the grip.

“I’m excited to partner with a brand that prioritizes ground connection, particularly as they relate to balance, stability and distance,” Bradley said. “SQAIRZ isn’t just a pair of golf shoes, it’s a piece of equipment. And for the first time, golfers have the right equipment to develop a swing from the ground up.”

That performance has been validated during independent testing, which revealed that golfers wearing SQAIRZ were shown to increase clubhead speed by an average of 2.2 mph and driver distance by an average of 8.8 yards.

SQAIRZ Announces Partnership with Iconic Golfer Sir Nick Faldo ( $10 Off SQAIRZ Golf Shoes - Use coupon code:  BUNKERSHOT​ ) 

SQAIRZ, the first breakthrough performance golf shoe in generations, today announced a long-term partnership with legendary golfer Sir Nick Faldo. Extending beyond a traditional endorsement, Sir Nick is also investing in the company and will feature SQAIRZ in his 18 Pars Entertainment original series, “Faldo  Formula.”

“We are thrilled to have Sir Nick join our SQAIRZ family,” said Robert Winskowicz, SQAIRZ founder and CEO. “His passion for the game is unmatched. He shares our vision that the golf swing is built from the ground up, and golf shoes should not only be comfortable, but they need to provide the balance, stability and ground connection to help golfers play their best.”

Faldo has long thought that golf shoes are an important part of any player’s equipment, because of the role they play in fostering balance and stability. As he wrote in “A Swing For Life”: “Good footwork is the mark of an accomplished player, and nowhere is the quality of the interaction you have with the ground more valuable than in the transition.”

Over the last decade, golf shoe designers have sacrificed performance in favor of the latest fashion trend.  Recognizing the critical role of technology in shoe design, SQAIRZ delivers an unmatched connection to the ground. Engineered around a patented SQAIRZ toe that allows feet to sit naturally, the shoes promote proper positioning, efficient biomechanics, athletic balance and dynamic stability.  With breakthrough engineering optimized for performance, SQAIRZ are equipment for your feet.

“These shoes are made for today’s golfer, who no longer need to sacrifice comfort for stability and balance - or the other way around,” Faldo said. “Over the course of an entire round, the difference is huge! I’m thrilled to help golfers discover SQAIRZ and understand what we’ve all been missing.  Golf shoes are one of the only things we use for every single shot on the course and these will help your game.”

Faldo, a member of the CBS Golf broadcast team, won three Masters Tournaments, three Open Championships and more than 40 tournaments worldwide during his hall of fame career. In 1990, Faldo became the first international player to win the PGA of America’s “Player of the Year” award, and in 1997 was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. In 2009, Faldo was honored with Knighthood, becoming only the second professional golfer, after Sir Henry Cotton, to receive the honor.

SQAIRZ—Golf Shoes with a Difference

By ED TRAVIS

One Liner

The unique design and construction of SQAIRZ golf shoes were a hit at the 2020 PGA Merchandise Show.

WYNTK SQUAIRZ

Golf shoes come in lots of different styles from the classic wingtips and saddle shoes to those that look more at home on the court than the links but regardless of the style they must first and foremost fit properly and secondly make a positive contribution to the golf swing.

This isn’t anything new of course and every manufacturer talks about the comfort and performance of their shoes. Unfortunately, in the real-world color, accents, lacing and style seem to get in the way of one essential point. Do the shoes you are wearing actually help your game?

Robert Winskowicz thought they should and taking inspiration from a currently popular style of men’s dress shoes he created SQAIRZ.

At first look SQAIRZ’s difference is readily apparent, the front of the shoe is straight, perpendicular to the shoes or “square” and when viewed at address help to align the wearer’s feet parallel to the intended line of the shot. Now this is a nice feature certainly but the other major difference of Winskowicz’s design is far more important.

Put simply the forefoot and the front part of the sole are wider which allows the toes to spread out naturally, something like walking barefoot. Along with the wider sole SQAIRZ give more stability and better balance whether your swing is a lurch followed by a lunge or a one that would do Ernie Els proud.

For added swing traction the plastic cleats are placed under the foot’s pressure points and there are molded lugs between the cleats.

We had the opportunity to ask Winskowicz a few questions SQAIRZ and his answers via email were interesting.

ET:

Your offices are in Windham, New Hampshire but where are SQAIRZ manufactured?

RW:

Our shoes are presently made in Foshan, China

ET:

Is your direct to consumer strategy the only distribution channel and do you have plans for getting into green grass and big box outlets?

RW:

We have no immediate plans to go green grass or big box retail. We hope to create a more personal relationship with the golfer and seize this opportunity to connect directly and create an information highway to build out our brand.

ET:

What’s the next step for SQAIRZ? Other shoe models or branching out into more accessories such as bags and gloves?

RW:

We will continue to develop new models of SQAIRZ with various color schemes however keeping the geometry of the toe the same  And finally, you are spot on. We are looking at apparel, bags, gloves, and other accessories all keeping with the SQAIRZ brand image. We presently have square toe socks, square carry bag, square umbrella, and a cap with a square visor.

It was immediately apparent wearing SQUAIRZ, first to the range and then on the course, they are comfortable while providing plenty of lateral support without even a hint of traction loss during the swing. The fact is we liked everything about them: design, construction, comfort, feel and traction plus there’s some nice little touches such as “Sta-put” laces with raised areas along the length so they remain tied and when cleats become worn down replacements are no charge.

The company offers a 30-day money-back return policy and we recommend before buying your next pair of golf shoes try SQAIRZ.
