Royal Albartross SoHo Storm Golf Shoes

[JB]

The SoHo Storm Collection is a performance based shoe that has received rave reviews since its launch. We want to hear from THPers and how high quality and performance can go together in a package that is unlike anything else on the market.

Golf isn’t played in a bubble. Rain’s gonna rain. But you can resist, and you can do it in style. Introducing the Soho Storm, our all-new water-resistant answer to your rain-based prayers. The hydrophobic European leather uppers keep moisture to a minimum and we’ve added micro-fibre footbeds and vapour-permeable linings to dial up the dryness in this sporty shoe.

Looking forward to testing this shoe out as we approach July and August, peak wet season here in the Florida
Plan to see how that white colorway performs / looks after some mud!

I'm extremely excited for this opportunity, especially given the water resistance of these shoes. The course I play the most borders some wetlands, and let's just say drainage has always been a bit of an issue there, even in the best of conditions and recent work by the management company. It'll be great to see how these shoes fair vs my usual pairs of Nikes (spiked) and Puma (spikeless). I normally wear my spikes there due to the wet conditions, so traction will definitely be a topic with these as well.

For my fellow testers - which shoe did you choose during signups?

I was so tempted by the black but that white pair is about as clean of a shoe as I’ve seen. I read reviews that they clean up really well also (always a concern with white kicks).

the black ones have a very "velcro grandpa shoe" look to me. lol

However, those white, grey and black look pretty cool!

maybe it's the stitching that is throwing you off... I'm willing to bet they look excellent in person

Maybe if they swapped the black laces for grey laces or red laces it would change the aesthetics.

I went with the white/gray/black during the testing signups and I don't regret it one bit. I just felt of the two pairs, those looked sharper and like they'd work with more outfits.

Extremely interested in hearing your thoughts! Keeping those feet dry are a must, but also want the dogs to be able to breathe in the Florida heat.

I went with the white.

Can't wait to see how they hold up in wet grass and how easy they are to clean after they get a little dirty.

Yea. Its JUST the black.
