Duca del Cosma’s SS23 golf shoes are their most advanced yet
Published: Last updated:
Duca del Cosma’s 2023 shoe collection is the luxury brand’s most advanced range ever – and it’s complemented by some beautifully crafted gloves.
They make some of the best golf shoes on the market and for 2023 Duca del Cosma have taken things to another level with new designs and ultra-lightweight outsole technologies, which push the boundaries of fashion innovation.
The Italian brand design shoes that are as good at making you look the part away from the course as they are at keeping you comfortable on it, whether you’re in the market for the best spiked, best spikeless models.
A new pioneering ultra-lightweight D-Eva outsole technology has been added to four Duca styles for 2023 to help ensure all-day comfort and game-enhancing performance in a lighter shoe without compromising on stability.
Spring Summer Collection
The 2023 Spring/Summer collection includes the standout Dandy men’s shoe and super glamorous Alexa women’s style.
“Our all-encompassing SS23 collection merges ultra-modern technologies with an abundance of style for golfers seeking top-quality shoes for the forthcoming season,” said Sjef van Gastel, CEO at Duca del Cosma.
“The introduction of our ultra-light D-Eva outsole delivers unparalleled performance benefits and helps position a selection of our shoes in the lightweight segment of the market having taken on valued feedback from customers.
“We’ve added new patterns and colors throughout to appeal to varying preferences and make even more golfers aware of our global award-winning brand.”
A waterproof sock system with OnSteam recyclable microfibre technology has also been applied to a number of shoes in Duca’s 2023range, while the breathable Arneflex insert sole is also manufactured using recycled materials and delivers unrivaled all-day comfort. You’ll also find a recyclable heel and toe-cap.
Pro Spike Collection
Duca have also introduced the four-model Pro Spike Collection, with each model featuring a sturdy Airplay 6 outsole crafted from a highly durable and responsive TPU material to deliver ultimate stability at every phase of the golf swing. Strategically positioned Softspikes Pulsar cleats, matched with secondary 5mm traction nubs on the outsole, offer exceptional grip across all ground conditions.
“We’ve designed and extensively tested the beautiful Pro Spike Collection in close collaboration with our Tour players to offer all golfers the ultimate pair of top-performing golf shoes this season,” said Mattiazzo.
“Tour players seek stable footwear they can depend on as the basis of a consistent swing. With this focus in mind, these latest styles reflect our approach in driving our Italian Golf Evolution forward to give more golfers greater enjoyment in the game.”
Let’s take a closer look at the new models in the men’s and women’s ranges.

“Power in the golf swing comes from stability and as Tour players we demand that from our golf shoes to perform at the highest level," Duca staff player Joost Luiten said of the new models. "Walking the long courses each week on Tour in the new Duca shoes makes a big difference and it gives me confidence knowing my footwear is up to the test.”

Aimed at golfers seeking something exceptional, the shoe is crafted using soft Italian Nappa leather with a predominantly white outer.
It incorporates a highly comfortable Arneflex memory foam insert sole and an Airplay 11 outsole for uncompromising grip and stability.

A three-tone color design on the premium Italian Nappa leather outer brightens up any fairway and clubhouse. It is available in White/Cognac/Jeans, Grey/White/Red and White/Navy/Red with two sets of laces.
A highly-versatile golf shoe
It is another style to feature the latest D-Eva outsole technology and Arneflex memory foam insert sole to deliver all-day sneaker-like comfort, while the waterproof sock system is essential for protection in wet conditions.
The Pagani is available in three stylish colorways, including a striking white model with a contrasting houndstooth print that is sure to catch the eye of others.
