We’ve featured the Mizuno “Genem Series” of golf shoes earlier in the year and similar to club fitting, they went through a series of shoe fittings with the Japanese golfing market. They tested and fitted 626 different people and the data they found was astonishing – almost 60% of people are wearing shoes that are not the right fit or size for them!
Mizuno Golf Japan found from their GENEM fitting was that many Japanese golfers feel that their feet are larger than they really are thus, buying shoes that do not fit well. This creates a displacement in the legs and shoes and may even affect one’s posture and back arch. Mizuno Golf Japan found that the most important thing is to match “foot length” first before evaluating foot width. With GENEM, there are a total of 180 sizes with 10 different variations of shoes, from size 24cm – 28cm. There are also three width sizing options, EE, EEE and EEEE as well as three different shoe models (001, 002 and 003). Take a look!
