Shop Kris Reitan’s Winning Shoe, The PROS2™
A Different Approach to Fit and Stability
The SPEED3’s square toe may be its most recognizable feature, but Chicago Golf Report found the design serves a clear purpose. Unlike traditional golf shoes that taper toward the front, the wider toe box allows the toes to spread more naturally.
The result is a roomier, more comfortable platform that supports SQAIRZ’s central design philosophy: stability starts with the feet. While the shape initially takes some getting used to visually, Lis found that its benefits became apparent once he started walking and playing in the shoe.
Comfort From the First Tee to the Final Green
Chicago Golf Report found the SPEED3 required virtually no break-in period, remaining comfortable throughout multiple walking rounds.
The soft microfiber upper provides support without sacrificing comfort, while the Blumaka performance footbed adds cushioning and energy return. Lis noted that the combination kept his feet securely planted while helping reduce fatigue later in the round.
Stability and Traction That Stand Out
According to Chicago Golf Report, stability is the SPEED3’s biggest strength. The broader toe platform and TPU heel stabilizer created a planted feeling throughout the swing without making the foot feel restricted.
That stability is reinforced by a hybrid outsole featuring six replaceable Softspikes and more than 290 traction points. Lis reported reliable grip on uneven lies, damp turf, and during aggressive swings, noting that he never felt his feet slip even in wet conditions.
Built for Changing Course Conditions
The SPEED3 pairs its stability and traction with waterproof protection designed for golfers who play in changing conditions.
Chicago Golf Report found that the waterproof microfiber upper kept feet dry during early-morning rounds without feeling overly warm or bulky. A fully gusseted tongue adds protection from moisture and debris, while SQAIRZ backs the shoe with a two-year waterproof guarantee.
Chicago Golf Report's Take
Chicago Golf Report rated the SPEED3 4.7 out of 5, calling it “one of the most stable golf shoes I’ve worn.”
Rather than focusing on sneaker-inspired styling or promises of added distance, Lis found the SPEED3’s real strengths in stability, comfort, traction, waterproof protection, and all-day support. For golfers who prioritize feeling connected to the ground throughout the swing, particularly walkers and those playing in changing conditions, he concluded that the SPEED3 “deserves serious consideration.”
