Scientifically Proven Performance: The Kankura Golf Challenge 08


TL;DR

  • Field-tested with a professional golfer

  • Monitored by CTCP (Portuguese Footwear Technology Center)

  • Pressure mapping during the golf swing

  • Results show high stability, even pressure distribution, and day-long comfort for consistent shots

Why Pressure Distribution Matters

During a swing, foot pressure shifts from heel → midfoot → forefoot. Shoes that guide this shift smoothly help you:

  • Stay stable at address and through transition

  • Transfer weight confidently without slipping

  • Maintain consistent power and accuracy

  • Reduce fatigue over 18 holes

The Challenge 08 was built for exactly this—and we put it to the test.

How We Tested

To validate the quality of our Challenge (CH008-02) model, we ran an in-depth test with a professional golfer. The process was monitored by CTCP to ensure rigor.
Using real-world simulations, we measured how the shoe distributes pressure across the foot throughout the swing.

The Results (Plain and Simple)

  • Smooth pressure paths in backswing and downswing

  • Noticeable stance stability in key positions

  • Comfort that holds up during repeat swings and long rounds

  • Reliable support for powerful, precise strikes

Bottom line: Challenge 08 balances comfort + control for more consistent golf.

What Makes the Challenge 08 Different?

  • Spikeless outsole for versatile grip on the course and comfort off it

  • Thoughtful upper design and premium materials for lasting comfort

  • Locked-in midfoot with a naturally flexing forefoot for efficient roll-through


Feel the difference on your next round.

FAQs

Is the Challenge 08 for beginners or advanced players?
Both. The blend of comfort and stability helps new golfers build consistency and gives experienced players confident control in transition.

Do spikeless shoes work in damp conditions?
Yes—modern spikeless outsoles provide reliable grip in most conditions. For extremely wet or muddy lies, traditional spikes still have an edge.

Who is CTCP?
The Centro Tecnológico do Calçado de Portugal (CTCP) is an independent footwear technology and testing institute. They monitored our test.

What do the pressure maps show?
They visualize where and how much force you apply during the swing. A balanced pattern points to stability, comfort, and efficient energy transfer.
