The classic spiked golf shoe offers comfort, breathability, water resistance, style and traction. Finding the right pair for you is based on personal taste and what you want the shoe to deliver.
You need to decide what it is you want from your golf shoe; a waterproof shoe? A shoe to wear in all conditions? A lightweight shoe? Colour? Soft or Metal Spikes? Whatever you need in your shoe, you will find in today’s market.
A key advantage of spiked golf shoes is the stability that it can bring to your swing through better grip and because the upper of the shoe is likely to be more stable.
Modern technology has allowed traditional shoes to develop that are both lightweight and offer the stability demanded by serious players, however there can be a trade off so bear this in mind when you buy.
Essentially designed for comfort and style, these low-profile shoes tend to be lightweight and flat soled. Most use rubber studs or dimpled soles in place of standard golf spikes, giving the advantage of being perfect for the 19th hole and firm surfaces like the driving range.
Many professionals now wear street-style shoes, either for the look or the comfort that can aid back and foot pain, so they are not just for the casual golfer.
The trade-off of a street shoe will be less stability, grip and waterproofing. The moulded soles will offer less grip in longer and wet grass and typically they are not designed to provide waterproofing.
Initial concerns re the durability of the spikeless soles and the inability to replace worn spikes have been eased by development of new rubber technologies that manufacturers claim will outlast the natural lifetime of these types of shoe.
