Choosing the right pair of golf shoes
Signs of wearing the wrong golf shoe You have the wrong golf shoe if you experience any of the following:
|
To ensure your comfort and performance on the course next time, you need to consider the following features:
- Traction: spiked or spikeless?
- Upper material: leather, synthetic, knit
- nike air max d town restaurant chicago avenue
- Fit regulation: laces vs. BOA
- Style: traditional or athletic?
Spiked or spikeless ?
While nike air max moto 10 wide widths come closest to the original metal cleats, they are not a must nowadays. The more contemporary spikeless alternatives have also earned a spot among the golfing community.
There is no straightforward answer to which one is better, each one comes with a set of pros and cons. The choice depends on what features you value the most:
Spiked golf shoes
were originally made of metal but because of the damage they cause on the course, current spikes are made of ceramics or plastic |
Spikeless golf shoes
were introduced in 2010; have a flat outsole with rubber nubs or dimples; golf companies are still experimenting with this design |
Advantages: | |
More grippy and stable when the terrain gets wet, spiked pairs can help avoid slip, especially when performing a swing or walking up and down the hills |
More lightweight and flexible the absence of spikes keeps the foot closer to the ground; the ground can be felt better |
Replaceable spikes adds on to the shoe’s longevity |
Can be worn off the course the style and construction is closer to a regular sneaker |
Disadvantages: | |
Heavier nike sb dunk gasparilla for sale florida free |
Less grippy nike lunar gato 2019 price guide |
Cannot be worn off the course spikes can be damaged and also make it uncomfortable to walk on hard surfaces |
No replaceable spikes navy and gold nike basketball shoes boys size 6 |
Because spikeless golf shoes are still a relatively new design, they tend to draw more attention and interest from the players. To find out more about this category, see our guide on spikeless golf shoes.
Choosing the right upper material
Once being the only material used on golf shoes, leather is still loved today for its exquisite appeal, natural waterproofing, and longevity. The use of synthetic materials added a slew of breathable and lighter options to the market. Finally, the knit trend has not passed by golf shoes either.

Go for synthetic golf shoes if you want a middle-ground of all listed features.
Waterproofing in golf shoes
Since golf is an outdoor sport, there is a high chance of dealing with rainy weather. If you see yourself playing in wet conditions, consider getting a shoe with one of these protective features:
Water-resistant mens floral nike swoosh sneakers |
for moderate rain; might leak when pressure is applied |
for heavy rain, snow, and stepping into water |
Protection |
||
Breathability |
*Some waterproof golf shoes employ a high-performance Gore-Tex lining that provides full waterproof protection without sacrificing breathability too much. Some brands also offer shoes with a waterproof warranty.
Laces vs. BOA
The good old laces didn’t seem to be enough for the shoe brands. Today we can see the cutting-edge BOA closure system slipping into the realm of golf. But with the heavier price tag of these BOA models, is it worth the upgrade?
|
|
Advantages: | |
|
|
Disadvantages: | |
|
|
Bottom line: The BOA definitely offers a host of upgrades compared to a standard lasing system. But it also comes at a higher price point. Thus, it can be recommended to the more professional players or those who want to stay on top of the newest tech.
Otherwise, laces are still a solid option, especially if you are just starting out with golf.
Traditional or athletic: pick your style
To keep up with modern times, golf shoe manufacturers have been shifting away from the classic look towards the more athletic, sneaker-like designs. Traditions, on the other hand, are still being kept to live as the sport's legacy.
You have the option to choose what resonates best with your game and style:
nike lunar sky high sneaker wedge heels black |
nike air epic vintage sale in california |

Frequently Asked Questions
Are golf shoes necessary?
Yes, if you are going to play golf regularly.
It’s okay to wear your regular pair of shoes for a trial game or if you play the sport very rarely. But to illustrate the difference between a regular sneaker and a dedicated golf shoe, let’s compare a silhouette which comes in both casual and golf-ready options: the Nike Roshe.

What shoes to wear golfing if you don't have golf shoes?
As some golf courses can be strict about their dresscode, it’s better to check with them beforehand. But in most cases, an athletic low-top shoe should suffice. You can wear any of the following:
It’s not recommended to use slip-on footwear or the one that easily loses hold when twisted. Before the game, mimic a golf swing in your pair to make sure the fit stays tight.
Heels and metal cleats are prohibited.
Do golf shoes need a break-in period?
The right-sized pair should not require any breaking in.
The best golf shoe models are designed to accommodate your foot shape from the start. If it doesn’t happen, try going a half-a-size or a size up, consider getting a different width is it is available, or simply go for another model.
In some individual cases, the shoe might cause discomfort during the first wear. Here are some firs-aid tips to soften the material without going through the ordeal:
- nike shoe with a velcro wing size chart.
- nike acg shoes cheap.
- nike sb stefan janoski dark slate black granite.
- A padding roll can also be wrapped in the areas that are prone to blisters. This item is thick enough to protect the skin and expand the material.
- Some golfers also use blister patches. They are designed like a band-aid, only thicker.
When is it time to buy a new pair of golf shoes?
In general, golf shoes are meant to last for a long time. However, they are not intended to last forever. There's no exact timeline for each pair's life span. It depends on how often it is worn, the course conditions it is used on, and how it is maintained. Here are some of the indications that a new one is already needed:
- Water that seeped on the insides of the shoe is quite hard to reverse. However, it depends on water damage. For minor ones, then the insoles can be substituted, but for extreme cases, a replacement is a better option.
- When a previously grippy shoe is losing its spark, then looking into a new one should be a priority. Traction, as we know, is essential. And, frequenting slips are definitely a no-no.
- nike high heels in dubai girls dance pants images.
- Spikeless pairs that lose nubs might be hard to fix. Cleated golf shoes, on the other hand, can be replaced.
How we test golf shoes
Before giving the final verdict, we consider all available golf shoe models on the market. We then buy all the shoes that we want to test and that we find relevant with our own hard-earned money. We review both coveted and less-known brands equally to offer an unbiased overview.
We spend 7 nike sb twin peaks on feet and ankle area pain, in which we study all the nooks and crannies to understand what real benefits each trainer gives us. We use the shoes on 18-hole courses as well as the driving range and the putting area.
Not only that, we also dissect each golf shoe to understand the smallest details of how they work. We measure more than 30 properties like stiffness, softness using a durometer and even durability of the upper and the outsole to give you the best possible review that's quantified and compared to other golf shoes on the market.
