In The Mail: TRUE Ascent PNW Proof

Arriving in the mail yesterday was a pair of TRUE Ascent PNWProof golf shoes.

I have them on right now, wearing them around the house. As with all TRUE shoes, I find them instantly comfortable. They’re cooking up some magic among those trees in the Pacific Northwest.

The Ascent PNWProof (Pacific Northwest Proof) is an athletic-style shoe “inspired by long walks on Pacific Northwest trails.”

In other words, it’s got a bit of a trail runner vibe. They’re guaranteed waterproof for one year, with a laminated waterproof upper. It’s also got a breathable constrution.

I’ll have a full review as soon as I’ve done my usual multi-round testing. In the meantime, here’s TRUE’s press release:
