I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of TRUE’s OG line. That wide toe box, now in its third iteration as the OG3, has just never been my personal style. Give me the direction they’ve been heading with shoes like the Lux Hybrid or the newer All Terrain Ascent PNWProof, more sneaker, more all-day, less “golf shoe” in the traditional sense, and I’m in.
That’s exactly the lane the Antigravity lives in, and it’s why I’ve liked it since it launched earlier this year. Now TRUE has taken that same platform and built a “Pro” version on top of it, and I think both of them are among the best-looking shoes TRUE has put out in a while.
But what has actually changed in the Antigravity “Pro” model? And is it worth buying over the original?
Let’s find out.
Some of TRUE Linkswear's most comfortable and capable shoes. This "Pro" model adds an aggressive TPU spiked sole to their popular Antigravity shoes.

Same Family, Different Job
The regular Antigravity is genuinely an all-day shoe. You could wear it to the course in the morning and keep it on for the rest of the day without looking like you’re still in your golf clothes.
The Antigravity Pro isn’t that shoe. It’s golf course only, and the reason comes down to the sole.
TRUE swapped in an aggressive TPU outsole with integrated spikes on the Pro model, and you notice the difference the moment you start walking on turf. Traction is excellent. You feel more planted through the swing than you do in the standard Antigravity, and if you’re the type who’s playing in variable conditions or just wants more confidence underfoot, that upgrade is real and noticeable.
Both the original Antigravity and the Pro models are fully waterproof, and based on limited testing on a dewy morning course – it seems to work well.
The fact it is fully waterproof, yet still so lightweight, I think is one of the best features of either of these shoes.
Where It Gives a Little Back
There’s really only one negative I have with the performance of the Antigravity Pro. The upper isn’t as stiff as what you’ll find on a lot of tour-level shoes, and it doesn’t feel quite as stable or supportive as similarly priced models from Payntr, G/FORE, or FootJoy. Not a dealbreaker. Just something I noticed, especially coming off a stretch of wearing stiffer shoes.
What it gives up in structure, it makes up for in comfort, walkability, and weight. These weigh almost half of what the Lux2 Maven shoes I reviewed last year come in at, and that shoe costs about $100 more. The Maven’s decent for the right person, but it’s overbuilt for what most of us actually need. Given the choice, I’ll take the comfort and walkability of the Antigravity Pro every time.
It’s also worth pointing out there’s no weight penalty for the added outsole and traction. Both the Pro and the standard Antigravity come in at 10.5 oz.
The Pebax Superfoam Midsole
What you actually feel with every step is the Pebax Superfoam midsole.
TRUE borrowed this straight from running shoe technology, and it delivers noticeably better energy return as you walk the course. Payntr’s been doing something similar for a few years now with their nitrogen footbed, and honestly, it feels comparable here. Though I’d be lying if I said I could explain the real technical difference between TRUE’s “Pebax” and Payntr’s “PMX Nitrogen+.” Both just feel good underfoot over 18 holes.
Fit and Sizing
No break-in period needed, which is typical TRUE. I wear a size 12, and these fit true to size right out of the bag. Also, while they don’t have an extra-wide toe box like some TRUE models, there is plenty of room in the toes, so if you’re someone who likes a little more space – this is a model to consider.
Antigravity Pro vs. the Standard Antigravity
If you’re deciding between the two, it comes down to how you plan to use them. The Antigravity Pro is the better golf shoe, thanks to that TPU outsole and spike setup. But it’s golf only.
The standard Antigravity is $25 cheaper and gives up maybe a point or two of traction compared to the Pro. If you like the idea of a shoe that can handle 18 holes and then keep going for the rest of your day, that’s still an excellent choice, and arguably the smarter buy for a lot of golfers.
Final Thoughts on the TRUE Linkswear Antigravity Pro
At $225, this is a premium, high-end golf shoe, and it acts like one. Comfortable, fully waterproof, and while the styling won’t be for everyone, I’d put it among the better-looking shoes TRUE has released recently.
The biggest knock at this price, and especially with the “Pro” name attached, is that it’s a little less stable than other shoes in this range. Not bad, but something I noticed over 3 rounds in the shoe. If you like the style and you’ve been a fan of TRUE in the past, these are worth picking up.

The Antigravity Pro is one of the most capable, and comfortable pairs of TRUE shoes to date.
The Antigravity Pro takes the comfort and energy return that made the standard Antigravity so wearable and adds real, noticeable traction for golf-specific use. It's not the most stable shoe at this price point, but for walkers who prioritize comfort and weight, it's one of the better looking, better feeling options out there right now.
