Product Description
The Gallivan2R G/LOCK Saddle takes classic two-tone saddle golf-shoe aesthetics and elevates them with high-performance materials and spiked traction. Ideal for golfers who walk rounds, demand reliable stability underfoot and refuse to sacrifice style for function.
Key Technical Features
Water-proof T.P.U Upper Construction — The upper is made of waterproof thermoplastic polyurethane, delivering durable protection in wet or dewy conditions.
G/LOCK Traction System with Replaceable SoftSpikes — Equipped with the brand’s G/LOCK spiked system (such as TourFlexPro or equivalent) to provide secure cleated grip across turf and uneven lies.
Auxetic Lattice Midsole + Molded EVA Platform — Internal structure uses an auxetic lattice midsole and molded EVA design to enhance rebound, comfort in walking and support through swings.
External Heel Counter for Locked-In Stability — A molded heel cup / rigid heel counter keeps your foot locked during setup, drive and follow-through.
Removable Massaging Insole & Odour-Inhibiting Textile Lining — Includes a ribbed/massaging insole that’s removable and washable, plus anti-odor textile lining to maintain freshness for walking rounds.
Classic Saddle Styling — The “Saddle” version blends two-tone upper (typically white + contrast side panels) giving that heritage golf-shoe silhouette with modern tech.
Lightweight Build for All-Day Wear — Though a spiked model, the design keeps weight and bulk moderate so walking the course remains comfortable.
Performance Profile & Buyer Fit
Skill & Identity:
A strong choice for golfers who walk their rounds, value traditional styling but still expect modern performance. Especially suitable for mid- to low-handicap players who want one premium shoe that covers style and stability.
Desire & Benefit:
You get a shoe that looks refined (saddle styling) but performs at a high level: waterproofing, spiked traction, stability features and comfort for walking. It addresses the “style vs performance” compromise by delivering both.
Situational / Problem Solved:
On early-morning dew or damp fairways — the waterproof T.P.U upper helps keep your feet dry and consistent.
During a walking round of 18+ holes — the midsole and cushioned insole reduce foot fatigue and support stride.
When swinging hard or dealing with uneven terrain — the spiked G/LOCK outsole plus heel counter keep you planted and stable.
Moving from fairway to clubhouse — the classic saddle styling ensures you look appropriate while still wearing a performance shoe.
Feel Preference:
Expect a ride that is firm-to-medium: built for stability rather than ultra-soft plush walking feel. The spiked traction gives a locked-in ground connection; the insole adds comfort. If you favour maximal softness (walking-only focus) you might feel it’s somewhat structured.
Trust & Quality:
G/FORE has built a reputation for combining design and performance. Reviewers note the Gallivan2R G/LOCK Saddle as “a premium, stylish, versatile design… ample comfort and rebound… excellent grip.”
