AIR-PEDS became the dominant golf
bottom in one season because they insure all
of these things.
Made of new live rubber, AIR-PEDS
provide foot-comfort no other golf-bottom
can give. Attached to the outersole of your
shoe, AIR-PEDS cannot "draw"- or "burn"
tender feet as the ordinary rubber sole does.
Relieved of foot trouble and leg-weariness,
you will find your game improved.
AIR-PEDS furnish, under all condi
tions, the firmest stance that can be obtained,
and do so with NO injury to the greens.

One well-known New England golf
club has barred spikes and hobs from its
course. Many other clubs, including your
own, will undoubtedly join this campaign to
"Save the Greens."
Club Professionals are vitally interested
in this matter of protecting the courses, and
are endorsing AIR-PEDS.
