Are TRUE OG3 High Golf Boots Ideal for Winter? I Found Out

The TRUE OG3 High golf boots claim to be Made for Misery and I put that claim to the test by walking 36 treacherous holes in them. 

I wore the OG3 High for my last two rounds of the season. One late-October round came after a frost delay, and another early-November round followed a day of steady rain, providing ample experience in the exact conditions these golf boots were made for.

So, is it possible to live up to TRUE’s tagline and enjoy the walk in the miserable conditions that these golf boots were made to tackle? Here’s my complete life-tested review.

Pros:

• Exceptional comfort
• 2-year waterproof warranty
• Keep feet warm
• Fit as expected

Cons:

• Traction suffered in muddy conditions
• High price

TRUE Linkswear is known for comfortable golf shoes, and much of that comfort comes from the wide toe box, zero drop profile that TRUE leans into. The OG3 High features both, and once again, the result is top-notch comfort. 

Walking 36 holes in cold, wet, muddy conditions tests footwear more than any other piece of equipment, and the OG3 High passed with flying colors.

The fit is true to size, and even though these golf boots are equipped with a wide toe box, they provided some snuggly warmth to my feet, which have never been accused of being wide.

Traction is the only area where I left my OG3 High test disappointed. For a shoe that bills itself as Made for Misery, I expected it to hold up to the sloppy fall conditions a little better.

The spikeless outsole was satisfactory in normal conditions, both dry and wet, but it didn’t handle muddy ground well. The tread became caked with mud, negating much of the traction I had enjoyed up to that point.

If I had one word to describe the style of the OG3 High, it would be safe. They’re available in two color options: black, and nimbus (which appears to be a fancy word for white). From a style perspective, there’s nothing groundbreaking going on here, and more often than not, that’s a good thing.
