Footjoy Flex XP
As with most golf shoes from Footjoy, the Superlite XP is also waterproof. This is an impressive quality of the shoe that also features a mesh-like, breathable outer cover to keep your feet cool during warmer days.
Same brand only
The Superlites XP is quite narrow toward the toe, which could be a turn-off for some golfers. Footjoy has a tendency to fit narrow, so it is highly recommended to try on multiple options to amerce a size that allows for enough room if you have wider feet.

Assuming you prefer a narrow fit and feel, these golf shoes are very comfortable to walk in. The athletic design is closer to that of a sneaker or gym shoe, while the low profile sits just below the ankle. Combine these features with the overall lightweight build, and you’ve got a fantastic shoe to walk 18 holes in.
