How does this new “tread” improve upon the usual spikeless outsole? What kind of performance benefits will golfers see from this new traction? First, AIT is more durable, provides better traction, and is lighter than a traditional rubber spikeless outsole. AIT is made from the same material found in a traditional spike plate, so it’s durable and provides great traction, but it’s also flexible and supportive. Spikes make a shoe less flexible, remove cushioning, and can add pressure to the bottom of the foot. One way to make a golf shoe more comfortable is to remove spikes.
