Three years, seven design iterations, two distinct spiked shoes - TRUE's Lux2 is here.
TRUE linkswear (TRUE), creator of ultra-comfortable modern golf footwear designed for walking on and off the course, announces the consumer introduction of the Lux2 spiked shoe in two distinct models: Player and Maven. After an exhaustive three-year design and construction process, golfers now have two options for additional traction in a spiked outsole - with the same TRUE pursuit of outright performance and comfort. Built for Tour players and serious amateur golfers alike, both shoes are engineered to thrive in varying weather and course conditions, delivering every performance gain possible.
The Lux2 development story
"The Lux2 is a performance shoe like we've never offered before. Our roster of Team TRUE Tour players has had a really keen interest in seeing what a TRUE linkswear spiked golf shoe built for the ultra-high-performance athlete would look like. We knew from Tour player feedback, this release had to be a comfortable, low profile, flexible, but stable shoe that incorporates a spiked sole that supports their movement when it matters on the golf course. We spent almost three years and probably seven different design iterations before we created a shoe we love because it is revolutionary in comfort and performance."
TRUE Performance, Naturally - The Lux2 Player
Comfort and performance don't have to be mutually exclusive, and in the Lux2 Player, they aren't. TRUE has drawn on years of experience crafting naturally comfortable golf shoes and amplified on-course performance with innovation and Tour-proven technology that combines for pure golfing comfort.
The Lux2 Player is the unicorn everyone has been searching for: a high-performance spiked golf shoe that loses none of the natural comfort. Flexible, but stable where it counts. Naturally wide. Comfortable beyond reason. A marriage between TRUE's iconic fit and feel and the performance benefits made possible by the latest-generation spiked FlexBolt outsole. The FlexBolt design provides functional stability medially and laterally, but flexes with the foot's natural movement. This ingenious design creates a neutral platform suitable for most foot postures - higher or lower, flexible or stiffer.
Built for the walking golfer
"A round of golf can be seven miles walking up and down hills, sometimes in wet conditions. So, the mountaineering side of our tread is definitely something that helps you with uphill and downhill ascent as you're walking. We also have rotational tread and the spikes definitely play a part in that tread pattern. The TPU spikes and the rubber tread can interact with surfaces differently. One's phenomenal for wet grass and the other one's better for turf and grip of the Earth. So, we're excited to team up the two for optimal traction on the golf course."
The new Wanderlux2 midsole compound is the lightest of its kind, combining increased rebound for greater underfoot comfort with enhanced durability to ensure consistent feel and performance for the life of the shoe. And it wouldn't be a next-generation TRUE without next-generation materials. Developed specifically for the Player, the laminated TRUEdura upper is supple, durable, and waterproof - guaranteed to keep you comfortable no matter the conditions.
Comfort and performance. This is the Lux2 Player.

Performance Amplified - The Lux2 Maven
Combining TRUE DNA with an unyielding focus on technical innovation, the Lux2 Maven is the ultimate performance golf shoe for the player who refuses to accept compromise. Developed in conjunction with TRUE's Tour Ambassadors, the Maven is packed with technology. The outsole features the next-generation FlexBolt - a lightning bolt cutout that provides greater outsole flexibility, enhancing lateral loading and stability during the swing. The FlexBolt also removes a portion of the midsole, reducing overall shoe weight.
A major attribute of the Maven is the flexible, full-length carbon-fiber ground force reaction plate. The technology is all about energy return - the same technology used in long-distance running shoes to smash records around the world. The TRUE carbon plate helps amplify each step on the golf course and delivers the ultimate in energy return and performance.
"In recent times, we've seen marathon records broken year after year. A lot of that can be attributed to carbon fiber inserts in the shoes. That sole insert technology translates not only to energy return in your walking stride and reducing fatigue, but it also can help with ground force reaction. With a stable, low-profile base that you can actually drive your power into and have it return from the ground, adding the carbon fiber plate adds propulsion to that movement. Based on what we've seen from Tour players, we're seeing a notable improvement in results from this new Lux2 spiked shoe design."
The new Wanderlux2 midsole compound is the lightest of its kind - combining increased rebound for greater underfoot comfort with enhanced durability to ensure consistent feel and performance for the life of the shoe. The heritage-inspired upper is crafted from top-grain Napa leather and features the latest evolution of TRUE's Breezeway heel lock system, delivering comfort and support right out of the box.
Players can amplify their performance with Lux2 Maven and experience TRUE's most technically advanced model ever.
