J.Lindeberg Ace Low-Top Golf Sneaker
I find that there really is only one place to start with golf shoes like these and that’s with their looks. Yes, not everyone will like them but then again no everyone likes pineapple on pizza!
For my money, these are the ideal looking golf shoes. Not overly casual that they look like gym shoes but still don’t venture into the stiffness I think a lot of traditionally styled alternatives fall into the trap of being.
Elsewhere, I was extremely impressed by the comfort. There’s no let-up at any point during the round in this regard. The good news is for summer; no issues with the heat either.
PROS
- Comfortable
- Stylish
- Versatile
CONS
- They look so good you won’t want to get them dirty!

Best Design
Under Armour Drive Pro Clone Golf Shoes
The Under Armour Drive Pro Clone is a genuinely innovative golf shoe that delivers outstanding comfort, stability and traction. Its auxetic upper (thicker when stretched and thinner when compressed) adapts to the shape of your foot during play before returning to its original form, offering a near custom-fit feel straight out of the box.
Combined with excellent grip in wet conditions and a noticeably improved aesthetic, this is one of the most impressive performance golf shoes currently available.
PROS
- Phenomenal grip
- Extremely stable throughout the golf swing
- No break-in period needed
CONS
- Sporty design won’t appeal to traditionalists

Best Casual Style
G/FORE Men’s G.112 Golf Shoes
G/Fore have produced a stylish and relaxed-looking shoe. It is versatile, comfortable and performs superbly. I have tested GFORE shoes before and this is one of my favourites for sure.
In use the support was very good. My foot felt it was deep into the shoe with plenty of support and traction throughout the swing. Some of the more casual designs can be a little wanting in this regard but not so the G.112. The grip was also excellent and I was testing them on wet grass.
PROS
- Great styling

Best Retro Look
Adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes
First thing I’d say is that this is a release that I think is going to land in the sweetspot for a lot of club golfers. At a time when a lot of premium golf shoes offerings are costing well in excess of £150, this is a welcomed alternative.
Visually, it offers the best of both worlds. It gives of a slight retro look whilst also maintaining that trainer-like feel that doesn’t mean your dragging around a clunky set of boots on your feet.
I have plenty of confidence that this is going to serve well this summer, no matter the conditions – hopefully they won’t be too extreme.
PROS
- Trainer-like comfort
- A retro look that still has that sporty element to it
- Feel really light
CONS
- None

Best Value
The Adidas S2G 26 Golf Shoes
The S2G 26 might be a ‘budget’ golf shoe but the only thing economical about them is the price. Comfortable, great looking, and an option on and off course, they’re a sure-fire winner in a market that doesn’t always prioritise value. They’re the best shoe of their type.
In this cost-of-living climate we’re all trying to get more bang for our buck. You’re absolutely getting that with the Adidas S2G 26 golf shoes. At £85 / $100 for the textile model, and £5 more for the leather version, they are a very premium golf shoe at a big discount on others out there.
PROS
- Very comfortable fit
- Premium build
- Casual look means they’re as wearable off course as on it
- Really good value
CONS
- You might need to go up a size

Best Modern Traditional
Adidas MC70 Golf Shoes
The MC70 spiked golf shoe from Adidas combines a traditional look with style. The design is inspired by the iconic 1970s Adidas aesthetic. The leather upper helps with the timeless look whilst also being very practical.
The rubber spiked outsole gave lots of grip walking around the golf course even on the muddier areas. They’re not a shoe packed with foam but the Boost midsole does a great job at providing both comfort and support.

Best for Seniors
Skechers Blade Tour Slip-In Golf Shoes
This is clearly a premium shoe – packed with technology with very impressive looks and performance. A very stable platform with a comfortable feel.
This is comfort-focused shoe with excellent convenience! The previous tour shoe was the Blade GF shoe – It’s synthetic uppers received negative feedback
because it looked and felt quite ‘plasticky’ – the 2026 shoe has a synthetic leather upper which addresses this and also improves the comfort of the product.
PROS
- Great design
- Improved on the previous model
- Helps with stability and support
- Hands free slip in
CONS

Best for Wide Feet
FitVille Men’s SpeedEx Golf Shoe V1 Golf Shoes
This is an extremely comfortable and good looking golf shoe, from a brand which will be a godsend particularly for those with awkward feet. It is also very well priced.
Due to the sole design I think this is certainly a shoe that can easily be worn on and off the course, soI can see it appealing to a broad range of golfer. The SpeedEx V1 is good looking, comfortable and performs pretty well. And I expect the wide toe box to be a game changer for those golfers that have painful foot conditions.

Best Looking
FootJoy Premiere Series Field LX Golf Shoes
The nicest pair of FootJoy Premiere Series that I have ever owned. This was love at first sight – the old-school classic look, but packed with tech.
They were also extremely comfortable, straight away. No break-in period required. The fit is ever so slightly on the larger size, so you could jump down half a size for a more snug fit.
I have since played three full rounds wearing the Field LX – one of which was in damper conditions – and my feet remained dry, as you’d expect from a premium leather waterproof shoe.
I think you can tell my feelings on the Footjoy Premiere Field LX: love, love, love.
PROS
- Premium waterproof leather
- Classical ‘Tour’ look
- Unbeatable traction while playing shots
- Now in the end of season sale!

Best Golf Shoes For Men 2026
As we wrap up our comprehensive review of the best golf shoes for men in 2026, it’s evident that there are plenty of top contenders for which golf shoes you should opt to go with.
Your final choice will hinge on your personal comfort, playstyle, and budget. We suggest that you try these shoes on, if possible, to identify the best fit for you.
Here’s to keeping your grip steady, your feet dry, and your style intact on the greens!
How do we test golf shoes?
At National Club Golfer, we are passionate about producing accurate and thorough reviews and making sure our testing process is rigorous so we get a good understanding of how each pair of shoes performs.
Each shoe is worn out on the golf course whilst playing golf, so we can get an idea of overall performance in terms of factors like comfort, grip, stability in the golf swing, waterproof protection and how they actually look on the golf course.
What is important when buying Golf shoes?
When buying new golf footwear it’s important to know what attributes or features you value the most before deciding on a brand or model to buy. For example, do you want spiked or spikeless shoes?
A lot of golfers think comfort is paramount when choosing a shoe, we are going to be standing in them for 3-5 hours right? Some golf shoes on the market have special insoles and cushioned mid-soles designed to keep your feet feeling fresh. Also it’s pretty common for golfers with wide feet to wear the wrong sized pair of golf shoes so its worth getting fit properly.
Grip is vital to good performance on the golf course as any foot slip in dry or wet conditions can not only cause the golf club to swing improperly but may also lead to an injury.
Nearly all golf shoes will either be fully waterproof or offer some kind of water resistance, and this is important as real die-hard golfers play in every weather condition. Having wet feet for 4 hours is not and will never be fun.
How good the shoe looks is of course subjective to personal style, but is important to any player. Do you prefer an athletic-looking shoe, or are you more traditional? Does your shoe offer on-course off-course style or do you want shoes purely for the course? Does the style of shoe you like have the best colour options for your golfing wardrobe?
Price is the last factor to consider. With the models above we have tried to find shoes at all different price points so if you want a shoe at a lower cost, you can get one. Or if you want to spend more, you can do that too. Importantly there is something for everyone.
What brands produce the best golf shoes?
All of the products in this best golf shoes 2026 article are picked from the brands that offer what we believe to be the best shoes on the market.
Do any pros wear spikeless golf shoes on tour?
As you will see on TV when watching the PGA, LPGA & DP World Tour, professionals wear both spiked and spikeless golf shoes, depending on their preference.
Some tour players are looking for extra stability and grip for maximum power creation that a spiked golf shoe might offer, and others are looking for the comfort and style that spikeless golf shoes offer. Some tour players prefer a running shoe style, and others a traditional classic leather shoe; there really isn’t a hard or fast rule as to what tour players wear.
