UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – JANUARY 2023: Apparel Group brand Skechers, The Comfort Technology Company™, will be bringing its award-winning Skechers GO GOLF footwear collection to shoppers in the UAE for the first time. The range for men and women offers go-to options for those golfers who prioritize comfort over anything else when choosing a pair, and is a popular choice for all levels from serious pros to more casual players, with various options to suit any needs on the course.
Since its launch in 2014 in the United States, the Skechers GO GOLF collection has built a reputation for its lightweight, high-quality, stable and comfortable designs—winning multiple awards from industry publications around the world.
Every pair is infused with Skechers’ signature comfort technologies and game-changing performance innovations. Features found in select styles include ULTRA GO® cushioning for added comfort, Skechers Arch Fit® for podiatrist-certified support, waterproof uppers to keep you dry on the course, and grippy bottoms for traction on the fairway. Offering both men’s and women’s golf shoes in a range of styles and colorways, this collection truly has a pair for everyone.
The latest collection was developed with insight and feedback from a roster of Skechers elite athletes like Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson, who each won Major Championships in Skechers on tour this year. The brand also sponsors golf events worldwide and has been Official Shoe of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship for the past eight seasons and has been involved with the Solheim Cup since 2017—most recently as Official Footwear Provider for both the United States and Europe teams in 2021.
Skechers has achieved prominence within the golf category alongside the brand’s award-winning collections for running, walking, training and pickleball.
The Skechers GO GOLF collection is available at selected stores in the UAE. Shoppers can find the latest collection at Dubai Mall, Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Marina Mall, and Mall of the Emirates.
