Remember that time when you were playing golf and your feet were absolutely soaked when you finished? We all do.
If you’re smart about purchasing golf equipment, you’ll make sure that new pair of golf shoes you’re about to buy are fully waterproof.
Even when it’s summer, courses tend to be wet underfoot. Don’t be fooled by the overhead conditions!
The best spikeless golf shoes, best golf shoes for wide feet and best golf shoes for walking are all great for what they’re made for, but when the year is coming to an end a waterproof golf shoe is an absolute must if you’re wanting to play golf often.
There’s a wide range of options to choose from if you’re only wanting to spend under £100 on a new pair. For that price, you’ll get a good quality pair that’ll last you a fair amount of time at a solid price point.
If you’re already sorted in the golf shoes department, we also think you should check out our guides to the best golf waterproofs and best golf umbrellas before braving the rain this month.
