| Just a few of the new styles from "Equipt for Play" |
True to form, several red-breasted avians have appeared in our pear tree and I've got my eye on the season's latest golf footwear options.
To be honest, my quest has just begun as Spring's late arrival had me in my winter golf uniform... black jacket/sweater, black pants, black shoes... till the end of April.
Though temperatures aren't yet high enough for shorts and sleeveless, I've happily transitioned some color back into my closet and I'm very much looking forward the multi-chromatic months ahead. And how fortuitous that a copious collection of new golf shoe styles from Equipt for Play is now available for preorder, with delivery expected by the end of the month.
I wrote about this extraordinary line... and its fabulous founder, Annie Jaroszewicz... in the fall of 2011, shortly after it had officially launched. Since then the company has more than doubled their sales and the collection is now available across the US and Canada. A year ago Equipt for Play scored the ultimate ace, making the prestigious "O List" as one of only 9 products Oprah Winfrey deemed "Guaranteed to Make You Feel Good".
The 2013 collection includes new "Wing Tips" that meld madras with leather in whimsical color combinations and "Spectators" that are both elegant AND stylistically unexpected. The classic Oxford comes in suede and leather, in a plethora of shades. Then there's the Weekender, a driving loafer that's equally at home on fairways and highways. In fact, all the new styles feature an innovative comfort-traction sole that's perfect for golf or street wear.
The only problem with the new "Equipt for Play" line is that you'll undoubtedly have trouble choosing just one pair. I'm working on that right now and I've managed to narrow it down... to about eight. H/T ShiShiPutter
