Your Sneakers RULE

Free your feet from boring golf shoes

Mark your sole

Take your time, use 8 per shoe max, you have extras in the box.

Make sure spikes sit on flat parts of sole, use 6 for smaller shoes

Mount Golfkicks on a FLAT area of your shoe so that the disc part of the cleat has FULL CONTACT with your sole for support. Do not hang off raised traction. Do not install a cleat way up on your toe this is not necessary.

Shoe guidance

FLAT RUBBER (NOT FOAM)

Soles need to be 1/3 inch thick and have FLAT RUBBER (NOT FOAM) on the bottom. If you have a lot of traction on the sole you don't need Golfkicks.

ALL SHOES ARE DIFFERENT, the thinner the sole the more you will feel traction underfoot.

Golfkicks are designed to be permanent

Avoid repeatedly removing and installing your Golfkicks - this causes sole material to weaken and be less supportive. Softer, spongier sole materials will not hold Golfkicks.

Air Max 90 with red spikes

Jordan 11's/Foamposites/shoes with CARBON FIBER or PLASTIC under rubber you'll need to drill a pilot hole (5/32 bit 6mm deep) before mounting. This is an ADVANCED install only recommended if you know what you're doing.

ANY AIR or gel bladders have the potential of puncturing but we have found this doesn't matter on the golf course.

Know what you're screwing into. You are in charge of the shoes you select and some work much better than others. If in doubt look up your shoe model/deconstruct on google and you can usually find what the guts of the shoe look like or ask us for help - info@golfkicks.com

Sole rot warning - we love seeing older shoes get a new life on the golf course but if midsole is crusty/rotted Golfkicks spikes can accelerate sole delamination.

Weaponize your kicks

Battle-tested traction worn on PGA and LPGA Tours - spikeless golf shoes slip, Golfkicks don't.

What are Golfkicks made of?

Metal and rubber/TPE they flex like soft spikes

Why get a Traction Kit when I can buy golf shoes?

KICKS' customers own plenty of golf shoes but love the limitless options Golfkicks provide for style, comfort, kids, orthopedic needs, upcycling classics from the closet...

Will they ruin my shoes or make them leak?

NO -Golfkicks are designed to be permanent but if removed typically leave a tiny incision in the rubber and the 7mm screw does not go all the way through sole of recommended shoes. Different soles heal in different ways, some barely visible.

Do I need to drill pilot holes?

NO - UNLESS you are doing Jordan 11s, Foamposites or other models that have carbon fiber or hard plastic under the rubber.

Does glue help?

Yes, use a dab of Shoe Goo on threads for all installs. Shoe goo has flex and works better than super glue.

I'm a lefty or righty does this matter?

No- The screws lock in place and won't "unscrew", if mounted poorly they can pull out but unscrewing is not an issue. Use Shoe Goo, we do.

Will they fall out?

Fall-out is RARE if installed properly which is up to you. It is possible for any type of screw-in cleats to fall out and the best soles are FLAT rubber soles. Softer foam soles don't hold screws well.

Can I use a drill?

Yes, just make sure you don't overspin the threads in your sole or they won't hold as well. Your Kit includes a 5mm hex bit for drill installs.

Is there a recommended cleat pattern?

We like 8 cleats as pictured but It depends on the shoe and existing tread, find flat spots on the sole and distribute 8 cleats per single adult shoe.

Will Golfkicks push through to my feet?

We have not had a reported case of push through and encourage you to only use Golfkicks on shoes with minimum sole thickness of 1/3 inch. If you choose thin soft soles like Vans, Chucks, Dunks or skate shoes you will feel the cleats underfoot much more than with thicker soles.

Can I take them out?

Golfkicks are designed to be permanent but if they wear down or you want to transfer to another shoe you can do this once. Installing/taking out every time you play golf is not recommended.

IT STARTED IN Matt's garage

The Kicks Industries adventure began in a Denver garage with three buddies ranging from decent to unsafe on the golf course. Our golf shoes were boring and we wondered why you couldn't add traction to Chucks, Jordans, Crocs or whatever you wanted. After several questionable prototypes we launched Version 1 with a Kickstarter campaign and set up shop to provide creative footwear freedom to golfers.

Our first version was pretty brutal but we innovated based on your feedback. Golfkicks 5th-Gen traction is now worn on PGA and LPGA Tours, is easy to use, and worn by celebrities, pro athletes and kiddos around the world. Make a pair - you'll love them and everyone will ask about them.

OUR TEAM

Founders are friends and entrepreneurs Tyler Stuart, John Krosky and Matt Mockus. Matt and Ty grew up together slicing drives into Iowa cornfields and John is a Colorado native who we doubt had set foot on a golf course until recently.
