When golf shoe manufacturers venture into the junior golf shoes market, they are attempting to target the toughest market of all.
Junior golfers care very little about the waterproof qualities of golf shoes, don?t give a jot whether the spikes on the shoes are green friendly, people friendly or, even, environmentally friendly. Tiger Woods or Padraig Harrington wears them? Who cares?
The bottom line for junior golf enthusiasts is street cred. If junior golf shoes fail to cut it in the fashion stakes, then, practically any other items those same junior golf shoes have going for them are absolutely worthless.
Top golf shoe manufacturers have taken this onboard and produced ranges of junior golf shoes that appeal to young fashion conscious golfers, but, that still provide all the technological advances available to the adult golfer.
Nike Junior TW Golf Shoes:
New for 2009, Nike?s Junior TW golf shoes look exactly like the shoes that young golfers would wear off the course. Comes replete with the Nike swoosh that oozes style, but, offers Nike power platform, which offers a combination of weight-reduction (these junior golf shoes weigh in at an amazing 285 grams), flexibility, cushioning and waterproofing Whilst, juniors golfers, may, derive some pleasure from boasting that their golf shoes possess the Nike power platform, they will not care what that actually means, but, parents will know that their foot welfare is well catered for. They will also love the sound of Scorpion Stinger spikes with Q-Lok system, I mean, how cool does that sound? You do not have to tell them that they are green friendly. They probably would not be impressed.
FootJoy Junior golf shoes are not left behind in the fashion stakes, either. The Junior Greenjoys golf shoe has the great look and feel of leather, but is made from easy care synthetic materials. Available in white /black and in sizes 1-5. This style is very reminiscent of the, pre-requisite, training shoes that adorn young feet everywhere.
Fostering a love in the game of golf, in our children, is the ideal of, most, adult golfers and if that includes appealing to their fashion sense first and then teaching them to love the game, then so be it. Give junior golfers the style and look of golf shoes that they crave and they will learn to appreciate golf and, perhaps, forget the fashion.
However, whilst fashion is still a major priority, Golfbuyitonline offer a range of junior golf shoes for the discerning young golfers, from top names in golf shoe manufacturing: Nike, FootJoy and Callaway.
