“What shoes are those?” It’s a question I’ve already been asked half a dozen times over the course of three or four rounds. No one I’ve played with so far has heard of Heathlander (I’m based in the UK), but everyone has been complimentary about my new golf shoes. They are, even if I may say so myself, very smart.
Heathlander was founded by passionate golfers Teddy Lynn and Mark Himmelsbach. Lynn grew up playing heathland beauties in the south of England, including the likes of Sunningdale and The Berkshire (lucky Teddy); Himmelsbach spent a lot of his youth playing heathland gems in Michigan, one of the few states in America where this type of golf course can be found.
