Italian golf fashion brand Duca del Cosma’s Cool Season ‘22 collection of intricately handcrafted winter-ready golf boots and shoes offers an abundance of style and game-enhancing benefits for golfers seeking top-quality styles for the cooler months.

Spearheaded by the all-new BOLOGNA and TOSCANA men’s and women’s boots, the latest range has been specifically designed to stand up to the challenges golfers face during the autumn and winter. Some of the latest designs even feature a super soft fur-lining to deliver a strong fashion statement and incredible warmth in the cold.

The range features five men’s and nine women’s styles foffering protection, traction and comfort in the most challenging playing conditions. In total, there are 25 distinctively different colour combinations available for golfers to choose from.

MEN’S COLLECTION

The latest BOLOGNA style is a welcome addition to the popular range of men’s golf boots and illustrates the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of golf footwear innovation with the introduction of the Quick Lacing System to the collection for the first time. This provides a super comfortable fit with balanced pressure points for enhanced performance and stability, while the lightweight Airplay 12 outsole crafted from eco-rubber gives the shoe a sustainable twist for the forward-thinking modern golfer. The shoe comes in the striking Navy/Yellow and Black/Orange colour combinations.

The DELAGO brogue style high-top boot – one of the brand’s best-selling models – offers superb on course stability and off-course versatility via its super-stable Airplay 11 outsole. The top-quality fur lining combined with the waterproof and highly breathable sock system ensures feet remain dry and warm in wet and cold conditions. The shoe is available in Black and Brown to ensure it stands up to demanding conditions under foot in the winter months.

The sporty STANFORD is a great choice for the fashion-forward golfer seeking a modern boot that can be worn just as much off the course as it can on it. Crafted using soft nubuck and embossed leather on the heel, the shoe delivers incredible all-day comfort. Available in the Coffee and Black colourways, bi-colour laces give the boots a refreshing look and feel.

Among the leading golf shoes in the men’s line are the award-winning ELPASO shoe in Black defined with contrast Cognac details throughout and the sporty BELAIR in Black with a Grey trim. Providing a strong look, both shoes incorporate a waterproof sock system to keep feet dry, while strategically positioned nubs on the high-quality Airplay outsoles deliver optimal grip in the swing.

WOMEN’S COLLECTION

Leading the way in the Women’s range is the elegant TOSCANA boot. Incorporating the Quick Lacing System to the design for a supremely snug fit, the dazzling new style is sure to catch the eye of playing partners this winter. The lightweight and recyclable Airplay 12 outsole gives this modern boot a distinctively refreshing feel like no other golf shoe on the market. It is available in Dark Grey or Aubergine with subtle contrasting colours.

The best-selling LORENZA remains in the collection due to its popularity with fashion conscious golfers seeking a bold look for the course and clubhouse. Providing Italian flare with a soft Nappa leather outer, the high-top boot incorporates a stunning crocodile print on the upper section, while the Airplay 9 outsole ensures a well-balanced look, as well as superior stability. Golfers can choose from Black/Croco, Brown/Croco and Navy colours.

The striking PALAZZO and PRADO designs exude class and style with the intricate details applied across both models. The beautifully feminine leather boots feature the lightweight Airplay 6 outsoles to provide unrivalled flexibility and a faux fur lining to keep feet comfortable in adverse weather conditions. The boots are now available in a new Taupe colour combination for those golfers seeking something exceptional to wear in the winter.

Offering a supremely distinctive appearance, the classic PALOMA boot features embossed patterning across the soft, full-grain leather upper, plus a fluffy lining to keep feet unbelievably warm in the winter months. The Airplay 6 outsole provides the feeling of a sneaker with the addition of functional nubs to deliver extra grip during play.

The women’s KING CHEETAH shoe flawlessly combines functionality and fashion with its striking cheetah print design. Crafted in flexible neoprene, premium lacquer leather and suede, the shoes are designed to represent the cheetah in more ways than one. The Airplay 7 outsole resembles the cheetah paw while providing a stable base throughout the swing. The 2020 Global Footwear Award winner is available in the Black/Cheetah colour combinations and each purchase of the shoe supports the conservation of the rare King Cheetah at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC) in South Africa.

Among the other standout shoes in the women’s collection are the contemporary SIREN shoe in Black with a contrasting yellow Airplay 12 recyclable outsole and the award-winning CALDES style, recognized by Golf Digest in its ‘Best Women’s Golf Shoes of 2022’ listing. The fashionable ATLANTIS shoe in Black/Rose Gold is reminiscent of undersea coral for a truly individual look and is another great option for wearing both on and off the course.

Sweden’s Linn Grant ended her first season on the Ladies European Tour with a third placed finish at the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España, which was good enough to clinch the 2022 Race to Costa del Sol title.

The money list title was decided at the final event in Spain, with Grant battling alongside compatriot Maja Stark for the number one spot. But it was Grant who came out on top and clinched the title, accumulating 3,624.91 points from 17 events and ultimately, finishing 209.77 points ahead of Stark, with fellow Swede Johanna Gustavsson rounding out the top three.

“I’m very relieved to have beaten Maja, she stressed me out this week and she’s been stressing me out the whole season! I’m very happy to win the Race to Costa del Sol title,” she said. “It was a pleasure to have been able to play in the Costa del Sol region for the season finale and I would like to thank to Costa del Sol Tourist Board for their support.”

Grant also secured the LET Rookie of the Year title back in October and as such is following in the footsteps of Laura Davies, Carlota Ciganda, Esther Henseleit and Atthaya Thitikul by becoming the fifth player to win both titles in the same season.

“It feels so nice to get both titles,” she explained. “Rookie of the Year was a little more straightforward and I knew that was coming but to get this one as well was more of the goal. I’m happy to have played well at the last round in Spain and to win it. They’re all great players and they have gone on to have pretty good careers after winning both titles, I hope to continue on their path as well.”

The 23-year-old began the year with a bang winning the Joburg Ladies Open in her first start on the LET since clinching her card at Q-School last December. From there, Grant recorded two top-10 finishes and one top-15 result but it wasn’t long before she was back in the winner’s circle securing victory at the Mithra Belgian Ladies Open. After a week of rest, the Swedish star then cemented her name in the history books by triumphing at the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed – storming to a nine-shot victory and becoming the first woman to win on the DP World Tour.

Five further top-10 finishes throughout the summer – including at the Amundi Evian Championship – came her way before she won again on home soil, this time at the Skaftö Open to record her fourth victory of the year. And Grant’s rapid rise in 2022 has seen her climb from 277 up to 24 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

“I think the Scandinavian Mixed is my standout moment,” she continued. “It was a big event and at home and everything that came with that. Plus, for sure the first title in Joburg because I think that set the standard for the season. I think Maja has had an incredible season and I think it’s been a fun season. It was nice to share this moment with her and this season and I think we will hold hands through our whole careers probably. This is huge for Swedish golf, having Johanna Gustavsson as number three on the rankings.”
