True Linkswear Going Out of Business? No. Reorganizing.

It doesn't look like they've got a 2016 line coming out. 

Their Facebook hasn't been updated since November. Their Twitter and Instagram accounts are pretty dormant too.

They're not scheduled to appear at the PGA Show. 

So the question is, is True Linkswear going out of business?

I hope not.  They make the most comfortable golf shoe many of us have ever worn.  I have had some waterproof issues with them in the past, but other than that I loved their shoes.  This would be very sad to see.

Nooooooo

Seems like the clues all point that way, but I sure hope not - I have worn True exclusively on the golf course (and mug of the time off) ever since I tried on my first pair of Protos s few years ago.  T'would be a big bummer.

Yeah doesn't look good. Hope the current ones I have last a while because I have no idea what else I would wear (Eccos?). Also there will probably be some good clearance deals.

I'll write to the company and see what I can find out. Has anyone tried calling them?

Booths at the PGA Show are ridiculously expensive. Honestly sometimes I wonder why any company that doesn't set up their entire year (i.e. actually make sales to head pros) even bother to attend.

The lack of updates to the social media pages is more troubling.

You'd think if they were coming out with the '16 model they would be advertising it soon.

Got the answering machine. I agree, the Twitter and FB silence is not good.

That would really suck.

Sigh, time to stock up and hope something similar crops ups in the next 2-3 years. I often recommended them to the strangers I played with, sad to see them go.

There's no confirmation that this is true. Let's at least wait until Monday or Tuesday before writing their epitaph.

On another forum, someone posted that they are planning a new shoe called te "Element" in both spiked and spikeless. Just reporting what I have read.

How recent was it posted? All I could find was a brief mention at the end of this article http://goo.gl/KciYbR but it was posted on 8/29/2015.

Just a few days ago. This was posted by a forum member, not True. The member posted pictures, and said he got the info from True. This is on another forum, and it is just what I have read, and have no verification.

Here's the recent thread from Golfwrx. Mostly speculative as well.

TRUE is listed on TGW as having the "Element" shoes:

Some photos:

The odd thing is, though… they are listed as being "on sale" ($20 off).

That is strange. 

The shoes look good though.

Eh. I disagree. They don't look even close to waterproof (is that mesh?). The only ones I even like the look of are the grey/green spikeless ones.
