Descente Golf has launched two new models in its "ACMT (Arcment)" golf shoe line ahead of the spring golf season. Released for the 2026 season, the new products stand out as performance golf shoes aimed at increasing driving distance, going beyond simple weight reduction or cushioning improvements.
The Arcment series consists of the "Arcment Tour" and "Arcment Max," differentiated by their upper designs. The model tested firsthand was the Arcment Tour. Immediately upon wearing them, a sense of balance was noticeable — the shoes held the foot firmly in place without feeling overly tight. The key feature was the carbon plate applied to the midsole, which handles shock absorption and rebound. Rather than lining the entire sole in a conventional manner, the plate is arranged in an X-shape specifically in the zones where body weight concentrates during the swing. The push-off sensation against the ground at the moment of impact felt stronger than other golf shoes, allowing a smooth swing without forcing extra effort.
The outsole — the bottom surface that contacts the ground — also impressed with its grip. A reactive traction design that holds the ground according to the direction of weight transfer was applied to maintain grip across various terrains. On sections with slopes or changing turf conditions, the shoes noticeably kept the foot centered without letting it slide to one side. The finish position remained stable even after impact, resulting in high satisfaction.
