WINDHAM, NH – July 7, 2025 – SQAIRZ, the industry leader in golf footwear technological advancements, has been named the Best Performing Golf Shoe in Sports Illustrated’s “Best Golf Shoes of 2025” list. The honor was awarded to the SPEED2™ LT, a flagship model in the brand’s innovative LT Series—marking the second consecutive year SQAIRZ has earned top-tier recognition from the publication.

SQAIRZ’s Sta-Put™ lacing system keeps your foot secure through every phase of the swing.
