Spiked BERNARDO & sporty POSITANO shoes praised by leading UK golf media titles
Luxury golf shoe brand Duca del Cosma has seen its handcrafted golf shoes credited with more prestigious awards from two of the UK’s leading golf media titles – Golf Monthly and Today’s Golfer.
The brand has enjoyed a strong start to the season that saw it occupy its largest ever booth space at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando where it unveiled the super stylish SS23 and highly technical PRO SPIKE golf shoe collections offering golfers distinctively different designs that push the boundaries in terms of performance and style.
Designed to deliver ultimate stability in a waterproof build, the classic BERNARDO style from the PRO SPIKE collection was selected for a coveted Editor’s Choice award by a team of experts at Golf Monthly.
In a recent review of the shoes, Technical Editor Joel Tadman said: “For those that want to add some sophistication to their outfit without sacrificing performance or comfort, the BERNARDO should be among your short list to try in 2023.”
From a design standpoint, the BERNARDO features the sturdy Airplay 6 outsole crafted from a highly durable and responsive TPU material paired with Softspikes® PULSAR® cleats and secondary 5mm traction nubs to deliver progressive stability at every phase of the swing.
The premium Nappa leather upper delivers waterproof protection to ensure the shoes can be worn in the most demanding weather conditions, while the soft PRO insole provides incredible breathability for all-day comfort. It is available in White with a striking Red sole.
Highlighting the performance benefits of the sporty POSITANO shoe, the Today’s Golfer editorial team said: “Duca del Cosma’s pioneering ultra-light D-Eva outsole technology is applied to four styles this year to ensure golfers can enjoy all-day comfort and performance in a lighter shoe without compromising on foot support and stability in the swing. One of those models is the POSITANO, which features a three-tone colour design on the premium Nappa leather outer.”
The design of the POSITANO is guaranteed to brighten any fairway and clubhouse with three striking colourways available for golfers to choose from. These include White/Cognac/Jeans, Grey/White/Red and White/Navy/Red.
“To receive more recognition like this from leading golf media titles is a huge testament to the attention to detail we apply in designing our premium golf shoes,” said Chairman Frank van Wezel. “For the editors to recognize these models in such a competitive field makes these awards even more special to the Duca del Cosma brand,” he added.
In the U.S., the brand was also recognized in the prestigious Golf Digest ‘Best of 2023’ lists. America’s no.1 golf magazine credited the standout DANDY (White) and POSITANO (White/Navy/Red) in the ‘Best Men’s Golf Shoes of 2023’ category, while the chic ALEXA (Pink) and dashing SERENA (Navy/White) made the shortlist in the ‘Best Women’s Golf Shoes of 2023’ listings.
The influential GOLF.com ‘Best Women’s Golf Shoes of 2023’ listing recognized the contemporary FESTIVA (White) style as one of nine shoes in the shortlist, selecting it as the ‘Best for Versatility’.
The global brand sells its premium shoes in 46 different countries and operates from four offices around the world – The Netherlands (HQ), United States, United Kingdom and South Africa.
