LOTUS "DORMEONE" SHOES are very old and tried favourities. They have two special features —the LOW HEEL and the "DORMEONE” STRAP.
The heal is only 3/4" high. This means that the weight of the body is thrown well back and a correct stance is enforced. Almost as good as the Ideal--the barefoot stance.
The "DORMEONE" strap acts like a veritable extra ligament, bracing the arch of the foot constantly and taking away the strain of the low heel. It is adjustable both for position and tension. It permits a full day's golf without foot fatigue.
