Introducing The Derby

For Women Who Never Settle

Every innovation we’ve built, reengineered on a platform designed for women. Classic style. High performance. Remarkable comfort. No trade-offs.

Why Compromise

Every golf shoe forces a choice: swing stability or walking comfort. Performance or style. After 25 years in the industry, we know these aren't technical limitations—they're accepted constraints. So we started over, engineering from the ground up with the most advanced materials in footwear to create solutions others call impossible.

3PE Technology

Solutions, Not Trade-Offs

Three innovations. One integrated system. Zero compromises

Stability With Flexibility

Structure where performance demands it, flex where comfort requires it. TPU exoskeleton moves structure to the perimeter, eliminating rigid platforms. Thicker edges provide swing stability, thinner bottom allows your foot to compress into foam. Structure and flex, finally together.

Endurance-Level Cushioning & Rebound

Engineered foam for 100-mile races, formulated for walking 18. Perimeter construction lets you compress into spring-loaded, nitrogen-infused ETPU foam—the same technology ultra-marathon runners trust for 100-mile races—for walking comfort that enhances swing performance.

Traction Without Compromise

Grip that adapts to rotation, surface, and shifting weight. Taller hexagonal Shark-Tooth™ lugs engage where force concentrates—under The Zipper's rigid perimeter—driving spikes deeper, while The Slipper's compression activates shorter center lugs. Traction adapting to shifting forces and rotation.

Heel Locking Comfort & Control

3-Layer fully-integrated heel cup for maximum power transfer. External TPU heel cup locks your foot during rotation while premium materials firmly cushion inside. Anchored directly to The Zipper's foundation for maximum force transfer. Stability without the typical pain points.

Small-Town Values. Big Ambition.

Alma Mater started in a high school gym in Astoria, Oregon—staring at hand-painted letters that reminded us where we came from. After 25 years building global footwear brands, we knew it was time to build our own. One rooted in small-town values and uncompromising craft.
