If you’ve been with us since the beginning… you know how far we’ve come. If you have not, let’s catch you up.
What started as a simple question — why isn’t anyone making a golf shoe that actually helps you play better? —has become one of the fastest-growing performance footwear brands in sports.
Today, SQAIRZ is trusted by world champions, pro athletes, medical experts, and the most serious players across golf, baseball, and pickleball.
This is the story of how we got here.
A Golf Brand That Changed the Conversation
Golf was where it all started and it’s still the heart of SQAIRZ.
We came in as outsiders and built something bold. We earned the respect of the industry by doing one thing right: letting performance speak for itself.
Since launch, SQAIRZ has been:
-
Named Most Stable Golf Shoe by MyGolfSpy
-
Featured on Golf Digest’s Best Golf Shoes list — six years in a row
-
Called the Best Performing Golf Shoe by Sports Illustrated
-
Crowned Best Golf Shoe of 2025 by Golf News Net and Golfers Authority

The best instructors in the world — David Leadbetter, Jim McLean, Rick Smith, Mike Adams — wear SQAIRZ on the course and teach in them every day. Tour legends like Sir Nick Faldo have joined forces with us. And hundreds of thousands of golfers have made the switch because they feel the difference.
We’ve seen wins on Tour, spots in the top rankings, and constant praise from GolfWRX, member forums, and publications that never hand out compliments lightly. And while other brands have chased aesthetics, we’ve doubled down on innovation by constantly evolving, culminating in the launch of the LT Series, our lightest performance-driven golf shoes to date.
Most importantly, we’ve proven, with science, that better balance, stability, and ground connection lead to better scores. And we’re just getting started.
Baseball: Less Than a Year In. Already Making History.
We entered baseball and softball at the end of 2024. Less than 12 months later, we’ve done what most brands spend a decade trying to accomplish.
-
Over 20 MLB players are wearing SQAIRZ cleats.
-
You’ll find our cleats on Dick’s Sporting Goods online store.
-
And we’ve been named the official shoe of Perfect Game, High School Baseball National Championship, and Diamond Allegiance — giving us a front-row seat in the development of the next generation of talent.
From youth players to Big Leaguers, SQAIRZ cleats are being chosen by athletes who care about performance. Because when you’re trying to gain a step, deliver more velocity, or power through your load — what’s on your feet matters. And players are noticing.
Pickleball: Built With the Pros, Proven on the Court
When SQAIRZ entered pickleball, we worked directly with Zane Navratil and ProXR to create something the sport had never seen: a shoe built from the ground up for how pickleball is actually played. Zane helped shape every detail — testing, providing feedback, and pushing for the kind of traction, stability, and support he needed to play at the highest level.
Then came the moment that turned heads across the sport.
Trang Huynh-McClain, competing in one of her first major tournaments in SQAIRZ, took down the world’s #1 player, Anna Leigh Waters. A moment that felt bigger than an upset. It was proof. That the right foundation can unlock something more.
Since then, the momentum has been undeniable.
SQAIRZ is now the Official Footwear Partner of the Chicago Slice, one of Major League Pickleball’s top teams. We’re available on Pickleball Central, featured in The Dink, and being worn by more and more professionals who care about performance over everything.
And the validation goes beyond the court.
A recent independent balance and stability study of 53 amateur players ranging from 27-63 years old showed that SQAIRZ outperformed Nike, ASICS, and Sketchers in side-to-side motion — one of the key factors in both injury prevention and on-court performance.
This is what happens when the shoe is built with purpose and the best players in the world decide to lace it up. And it’s not just the pros—rec league players are feeling the difference in balance, comfort, and confidence every time they step on the court.
A Pattern You Can’t Ignore
Across every sport, we’ve seen the same story unfold:
-
Build a better shoe.
-
Back it with science.
-
Let athletes validate it.
That’s how we’ve earned trust, with performance. When someone like Zane Navratil or a Tour instructor or a major league pitcher puts on SQAIRZ, it’s not because they were told to. It’s because they felt something different. Something better.
And in sports, athletes don’t stick with anything that doesn’t help them play their best.
They care about results.
And that’s what SQAIRZ delivers.
