Duca Del Cosma has never crafted its golf shoes quietly. Whether it’s a classic brogue style like the Churchill or a more modern trainer style shoe like the Alesi, it crafts its best golf shoes loudly and proudly to exacting specifications and standards. The Davanti represents one of the more modern designs the brand has ever opted for, incorporating high-fashion trends and a lightweight construction into a casual, spikeless golf shoe.
I've often criticized Duca shoes for being far too heavy. Indeed the outsole on the Churchill I tested a few years ago was probably the heaviest I've ever tested. Luckily the brand has listened closely to feedback from golfers and the media and the outsole on the Davanti is a significant improvement. The new Airplay 15 outsole features three different types of nubs to enhance traction, stability and overall control. The inner x-shaped nubs offer excellent levels of traction across multiple surfaces and conditions, the circular nubs at the rear of the outsole provide even more control when walking and the hexagonal nubs towards the front of the outsole are there for enhanced stability as you unload through the golf swing. A strategically positioned heel-strike to the rear of the outsole improves the walking gait and promotes a solid stride along the fairways.
