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.

Nothing stated about waterproofing. I do like the charcoal/black spikeless.

I have been emailing True Linkswear for about 5 months asking for a replacement for my old worn out Sensei's. (Which are awesome!) 

They told me about these Elements back then and initially said they were going to be released in Fall.  I emailed them again last month and they said official release date would be Jan. 4th.  I started looking into it again today and ran across this thread, which got me worried a little, so I emailed them again asking about these shoes and mentioning this thread regarding them going out of business.  I did get a reply...

The release has been delayed for no other reason than a delay in getting the shoes through customs. TRUE linkswear remains in a strong position for 2016 and beyond. We look forward to the release of TRUE Elements, a breathable and 100% waterproof shoe. This shoe will be releasing in a spiked and spikeless model in a variety of colors. We appreciate your continued support of TRUE linkswear. 
 
Best,

Not sure why they quit updating their social media pages, etc., but hopefully all is good.

The picture of the shoe it says waterproof on it. Back by the heel. I think it says that anyways.

Glad to hear this. They are the most comfortable golf shoes out there IMO. It would have been utterly depressing to see a smaller, independent company go out of business that was making a superior product.

This is a big stretch from "going out of business", but I wish they could get better distribution. The nearest store that carries them is well over an hour from me. I don't order shoes online unless I see them and try them on first. I know that people that use them really love them. They might not be the shoe for me, but I would like to see them in person.

Trues basically fit like slippers with shoelaces, there are no arches or heel indentations that would alter the fit between one foot and the next. Just a flat platform with traction.

Different models can run large though, or normal. It's still useful to be able to try them on.

I think I need a bit more support, so the wouldn't work for me.Also, when considering a shoe, I like to see the weight, quality of build and materials, and the traction features.

I actually like them (stealth model) more for an office shoe.

Easily the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned.

Bummer if true but I haven't found a True shoe I like since the Gent and that was so-so for me. I have a sizable stash of unworn Sensei, Gent, Tour, Phoenix and one pair the 2012-13 Chukka's. I look at eBay all the time for NOS but what I have will probably last several years.

I emailed them, and a company executive replied to say:

No, TRUE is not going out of business. We are in the middle of a management and operational change that has lead to a few months of silence. Stay tuned, there will be a new product and tour announcement soon.

I didn't see your post. I meant speculation on my part. 

Interested to see what they come out with soon, I'm a big fan of their shoes.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
