The Best Golf Shoes 2019

When the terrain is wet and uneven, this is when you are most likely to notice your choice of golf shoes. You might think twice about choosing the cheapest pair when your toes are soaked after the first hole. It might leave you wondering why you didn’t reach for something sturdier or just with a waterproof guarantee.

No one wants to endure soggy toes, so we’re here to help you navigate the best golf shoes of 2019. And the good news is that there has never been quite so much choice.

What should I consider?

Flexibility versus stability. Golf shoes used to be rigid and form-fitting, but we’ve seen this look cast aside for super flexible shoes that feel more like trainers. A powerful swing will typically need more structure underfoot, but if you like a slow and controlled swing, something with more flexibility can help.

Spikes or no spikes?

Golf shoe technology has come a long way in recent years. You no longer have to reach for metal spikes in order to get a bit of traction on the course. Spikeless golf shoes are now a viable contender and could be a great option for those who like their golf shoes to utterly blend in.

Style

Do you like a bold pop of colour or fancy yourself a more traditional golfer? Both options are completely fine with us! With so many styles available, you will be utterly spoilt for choice when it comes to making your final decision.

Price

For most people, price is a factor they have to consider. That said, there are some incredible deals to be found. Shopping last season’s shoes can be a great way to get a modern golf shoe without the higher price tags.
