Abstract
A comfortable golf shoe made exclusively for golfers having a negative heel with the edges of the sole of the left shoe rolled outwardly and inwardly and the sole of the right shoe rolled on the inner edge only to promote proper turn and body movement and provide the extra power for the stroke and to prevent movement of the feet within the shoes with appropriate padded shaped portions, preventing callouses and foot damage from the constant weight shifting in making the proper golfing stroke.
