March 24, 2005 (Redmond, Wash.) Bite Footwear announces its rank as the number one golf shoe brand in consumer satisfaction, according to the 2004 Darrell Consumer Survey, a trusted independent survey of golf equipment usage. Bite ranks first in comfort, durability and value among the top golf footwear brands and receives consumers' highest overall satisfaction rating in the annual study.
"The Darrell Survey validates what we've known for many years: we make the best, most comfortable shoes in golf," said Dale Bathum, Owner and Founder of Bite Footwear. "We spend our resources and energy on creating better footwear, and with this recognition, are even more motivated to continue to improve the fit, comfort and performance of our footwear line."
Historically perceived as the "alternative to traditional golf footwear," Bite embraces the new Darrell Survey ranking. As word of mouth spreads about Bite's promotion of good foot health, durable materials and top value, the innovative golf shoe brand looks forward to the future. More golfers will soon realize they don't have to give up comfort in order to have a stylish golf shoe (or sandal) they can rely on round after round.
Created with the help of podiatrists, Bite takes its comfort design seriously. Since Bite's release of the first functional golf sandal in 1996, the company devoted itself to providing performance footwear for golfers without sacrificing comfort or draining the pocket book. The latest line of Orthosport golf shoes is a perfect example of Bite's comfort driven design. The Orthosport series is engineered to work with all types of orthotics, footbeds and inserts. Additional features like a wide toe box and generous forefoot flex all promote Bite's signature biomechanically correct fit at a respectable price.
