Best Golf Shoes for Different Types of Golfers
Match shoes to the way you play, practice, walk, ride, travel, and compete.
Match the gear to the golfer
There isn’t one best version of shoes. A golfer who walks five days a week on hilly terrain needs something different from someone who rides a cart most rounds on flat parkland. Think about where and how you play before opening the catalogue.
- Walkers: need a cushioned midsole and breathable upper that hold up across eighteen or more holes.
- Cart golfers: can prioritise a firm, supportive sole over maximum cushioning.
- Spikeless fans: want the feel of a trainer combined with grip that holds on wet rough and slopes.
- Wet-weather regulars: should prioritise a guaranteed waterproof membrane and replaceable cleats.
Course fit matters
On long, undulating layouts, a stable heel cup and reliable grip are what separate a tiring walk from a confident one. On parkland layouts with steep gradients and damp morning grass, grip and heel lock are worth prioritising over style or weight. Good shoes should let you build your stance without thinking about the ground and never cross your mind until you need the grip most.
