The best of the best! We roundup the best winter golf shoes in 2025
This year the NCG team have rigorously tested over fifty different pairs of newly released shoes from twelve of golf’s most notable brands to put together our list of the best winter golf shoes that you can buy in 2025.
We’ve worn them in the sun, in the rain, in the sleet, on our home courses, on away courses, in the fairway, in the sand, in the rough, and sadly, even in the heather to be able to create honest reviews you the club golfer can actually trust.
We’ve scoured through all the press releases and know all the technology, and left no stone unturned to be able to assemble our list of the best winter golf shoes 2025.
This guide highlights options from renowned brands like Adidas, Puma, and FootJoy, as well as some lesser-known but equally impressive names in the industry. Make sure your feet stay dry, warm, and firmly planted on the ground so you can focus on what really matters: your game.
The Puma Avant Golf Shoes in Black/Slate Sky are unbelievably smart and don’t leave you wanting for looks and style in the Autumn and Winter months.
They are comfortable, sturdy and durable and based on my exploits with them on the golf course, they complimented my performance in tough conditions.
Some golfers might not like the idea of a spikeless golf shoes in conditions that challenge you underfoot, but there should be no concerns about grip with these shoes.
These shoes come with full-grain leather, an ENR Rubber Outsole and a ProFoam Midsole, all to benefit the feeling on your feet as walk the golf course in the Autumn and the Winter.
I particularly felt the full effect of the ENR Rubber Outsole. I think this feature of the Puma Avant golf shoes complimented the whole design and added to the overall feeling of stability I had when I was playing golf.

Some golfers might not like to leave spikes from their golf shoe choice in the Autumn and the Winter – however, the Puma Avant golf shoes do a great job in alleviating any such concerns. They do not negatively impact on performance in cold and wet conditions despite not adopting a spiked design on the bottom of the shoe.
PROS
Smart design that suits the season
Sturdy and solid feel that helps performance
Soft, spikeless feel helps with overall comfort levels
As a fan of Payntr golf shoes, I can confidently say they’ve become my go-to choice. The seamless blend of performance and aesthetics has won me over.
Right now, these shoes are available at 30% off, priced at just £69.99, making them a fantastic buy. They perfectly complement the X-001 Mesh spikeless shoes, which are also on sale for £69.99 – which could mean you have a pair for the summer and a pair for the non-summer months.
If you’re looking for a reliable year-round shoe, the X-003s are an excellent choice. I even tested them out during outdoor Padel sessions, and despite me hardly moving like Usain Bolt, they handled slippery autumn and winter conditions with ease.
Overall, the X-003s are a top-performing golf shoe both on and off the course.
PROS
Unbelievably comfortable
Attractive sporty style
Easy to clean
Waterproof
CONS
Not a fan of the white heel – would have preferred them to be all black
These golf shoes feel the same as top of the range gym shoes. They’re comfy, but you feel well locked in to the shoe and it is now a part of your performance armoury.
I really like the way the shoes feel throughout the swing, you have a good responsiveness from the ground and feel like you are able to use the shoes to create more torque and speed.

The whole design of this shoe is about achieving biomechanical correct footwork through the golf swing and it was on the back 9 the shoes really came into their own. I felt secure and locked into the shoe whilst the dial foam cushioning kept me comfortable, I felt like that I could have easily walked another 18 holes in these shoes no problem.
I have no issue recommending these shoes to anyone looking for a lightweight, waterproof pair of spikeless golf shoes for this autumn/winter.
I might even get another lighter-coloured pair for spring/summer!
PROS
Great foot support
Look great with/without waterproof trousers
Waterproof
CONS
Needed wearing in
RRP: £130 / $150
Sizes: 7-14 UK / 7-15 US
Colours: Black-Titan Gray / White-Metallic Gun Metal / Mod Gray-Capri
These were everything you want a pair of golf boots to be. The waterproofing was excellent and handled the wet fairways and rough with ease.
Comfort is always king for me when it comes to golf footwear and these certainly fit that bill.
I also really liked how stable I felt swinging on wet ground. Throughout testing I felt they felt sturdy and secure.
Overall, these are perfect for playing golf during winter especially and are a great option to keep your feet dry and warm as the weather continues to take a turn for the worse.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of golf boots. I’ll certainly be putting them to good use this winter.
PROS
Comfortable sole
Secure grip and solid stance
Great waterproofing
CONS
May be a little rigid for those who don’t often wear golf boots
These Duca Del Cosma golf shoes have a lot going for them. First, I wear a lot of blue so they go with all my outfits. Second of all, I am a huge fan of the Italian brand. I love the design and how they never waver in class. These shoes are made from premium Italian Nappa leather, which is of super high quality. That first try-on feeling in these shoes is brilliant; the leather is soft, but the soles feel so sturdy that I want to hit some balls straight away. Third, they are waterproof golf shoes.
I love how these Duca Del Cosma shoes don’t need a break-in period. You can literally take these out of the box and onto the first tee with no discomfort at all, which is not something you can say about all leather golf shoes. The insoles are also very soft, making them brilliant to stand all day and teach in. Another added benefit that Duca doesn’t advertise on the website is how you can wear these shoes into town, and they don’t look especially like golf shoes, more just fancy Italian trainers.
As you can probably tell, I have pretty much lived in these shoes since they arrived a couple of weeks ago. Duca has really knocked this shoe out of the park, and it might be the best pair I’ve tested from them. The shoes are a medium to wide fit with a heightened heel and are well worth a test if you are looking for a pair of versatile all year round spikeless shoes. There are five different colour ways to choose from, so you, too, can have a pair (or multiple) that match your wardrobe.
The moment you get these out the box and have them in your hand you can see this is a premium, substantial, leather golf shoe.
As someone with a wider foot, I have tended to shy away from Adidas shoes due to a belief that they are a narrow fit. On first glance these shoes do look narrow and so was thinking I am not even going to be able to get these on!
However, much to my surprise, once on they were absolutely fine and actually felt like they were made to wrap around my foot.
From a performance point of view if I was to sum up these shoes in one word it would be ‘stability’ and if allowed two words they would be ‘stability’ and ‘comfort’. In terms of performance, the Adidas 360 24 exceeded my expectations. The shoe incorporates a robust outsole with strategically placed spikes, providing superb grip and traction whether on the flat or on a slope. Whether you are in the wet grass or uneven ground, these shoes offer the stability you need to maintain your stance and swing your club
A fantastic shoe that has made someone ignore Adidas shoes in the past to seriously consider making these the go to golf shoe for most of the year.
PROS
Premium look and feel
Comfortable – even for someone with a wide foot
Heel and sole design creates stability
CONS
Unsure of how they will hold up over the entire season
Out of the box, these immediately looked more interesting than the previous model. This may have been partly due the colour version tested which is named ‘white/black’ but has some interesting splashes of bright blue and lime green around the mid and outsole. The overall appearance is a sleek, technical and sporty look.

The first thing to say is that these shoes are supremely comfortable. I couldn’t tell you whether this is due to the Ortholite Impressions footbed or the Stratofoam midlayer, or both. My whole foot felt securely held in place from heel to toe.
A word about the outsole. FootJoy calls it a Race Trak outsole with grippy elements situated around the perimeter of sole. The central ‘X’ visible in the photos is a carbon fibre 3D X-Wing which is designed to distribute energy to the periphery (where the grip is). This all looks novel, but the bottom line is that it performs superbly.
On testing in damp conditions underfoot, I experienced a great feeling of stability with no loss of grip on sidehill lies or in fairway bunkers. I did notice that when looking down at the shoe, the outsole is clearly visible, but this appearance adds to a sense of grip and security.
As FootJoy golf shoes go this pair is up there with the best, if not, the best.
The Puma GS-X Efekt Golf Boots really surprised me, and performed on the golf course in a way I didn’t think was possible.
They are big boots, there’s no question, and they made me feel solid and instilled a feeling of trust in my swing as my feet were planted to the grass.
This isn’t always a feeling you could have with spikeless golf footwear, but the Puma GS-X Efekt Golf Boot grew on me in both feeling and look.
You might be someone who prioritises comfort over looks. If your concerns aren’t with the size or colour of the Puma GS X Efekt Golf Boots, then you should seriously consider an investment.
If my stroll on the golf course was anything to go by, the Puma GS-X Efekt Golf Boots are perfect at keeping out the rain and the cold – and though described as a boot they easily cross over into an option for a winter shoe.
This is an extremely comfortable golf shoe with modern sporty styling. It offers exceptional grip and traction and would work all year round, including wet weather, given its grip & durability.
The research and development that has gone into this shoe is clearly effective via the podiatrist certified arch support. There is a lot written about foot fatigue, and these shoes seem to have addressed this in a comprehensive manner. I can honestly say it is the comfiest golf shoe I have worn, combined with no issues at all when it comes to grip. Interestingly I am normally a UK size 12 but the size 11 fit perfectly well and so that might be something to consider when ordering.
PROS
Extremely comfortable
Great grip
Nice shape and styling
CONS
Pin stripe effect on the top may not be to everyone’s liking
I am very confident in the Ecco fit anyway. Add Boa into the equation and it is remarkable how quickly these feel like a pair of shoes that belong to you. In a nutshell, this is a premium and stylish shoe that is packed with design features that will enhance both your comfort and your performance.
For those yet to experience Boa, it really is a game-changer in terms of the fit. You slip your foot into a completely open shoe and then, with a few twists, you have a perfectly snug fit. Better still, it never loosens so no more retying of laces or realising that your foot is moving about within the shoe in mid-round.
At the end of your round, with a single push, the fastening is completely undone and the shoe as good as falls off. It’s a great system, and with the Boa fastener on the tongue of the shoe rather than the heel, it is completely unobtrusive.
Wearing these shoes, I feel connected to the ground when playing shots and there is undoubtedly a high level of stability. But with the trainer style, you still get a huge degree of freedom of movement.
I’m a big fan of what they have done with the Codechaos golf shoe, visually. Personally, I love the sneaker-look, as our friends over the pond would say. They can match with pretty much any golf outfit, which is a big plus if you like funky golf shirts.
Out on the course, these shoes work brilliantly. Adidas have updated the outsole of the shoe, as they incorporate the spikeless Twist Grip to the shoe, which works well in adding increased traction. If you’re someone who likes to swing hard and fast, then have no worries about slipping in these golf shoes.
Throughout, the testing, I had absolutely no issues with comfortability. No rubbing, or discomfort that sometimes comes with new shoes. There’s also no need to size up or down when purchasing, I’m normally as size 11 UK and they fit perfectly.
Each step I took felt very comfortable and soft. They seemed very absorptive of the harsh ground and coped well facing undulating holes.
Despite what the sole of the shoe looks like, the Adidas Codechaos 25 golf shoes are technically a spikeless shoe. Some people, myself included, will have reservations about buying a spikeless golf shoe, but I didn’t experience any slipping at all. Of course, this may change in more extreme conditions, as I tested them when the course was fairly dry on a scorching hot day.
PROS
Look amazing
Great levels of grip
Waterproof
Performance wise, works very well
CONS
A little pricey
RRP: £140 / $180 (currently only available in BOA style)
G/Fore may be known for their style but they are sneakily good at building comfortable golf shoes. These were fantastic straight out of the box into a full 18 hole round of golf.
The MG4+ golf shoes are extremely waterproof and in the Monochrome colour design very easy to clean and an excellent choice of winter footwear.
With my first tee shot away, I am back in a happy place, striding down the fairway in these MG4+ golf shoes. The autumnal morning dew drenched the outside of these shoes, but my feet remained bone dry. Huge tick in the waterproof category. The soles feel very wide and make me more balanced and stable than normal.
The MG4+ golf shoes are more on the modern side in terms of style and tech, but that’s exactly what we need heading into autumn/winter. These shoes are made from premium waterproof TPU with a decently thick sole so I have no doubt they will keep my feet warm and dry.
I had absolutely no issue travelling around and playing shots from the various slopes that Sand Moor GC presented me, which some shoes have come unstuck on previously.
I tried out the Gallivan2R G/Lock Saddle men’s shoe in onyx. Even before seeing them I was impressed with the box they came in. A high quality, shocking pink box with a magnetic flap for closure. The shoes themselves were pretty stunning, nailing the mix of classic and modern. I loved the contrast of matt and patent upper. The white sole gave yet another eye-catching contrast.
The aglet (yes, that is the word for the little thing at the end of a shoelace) is white, which is a nice touch. They include another pair of laces with black aglets, should one feel the white ones are a step too far. This is one of the best looking golf shoes I have seen for some time.
I have owned and tested a vast number of golf shoes over the years. One thing I have found is that, no matter how comfortable/supportive they are when trying them on in a static situation, it can be difficult to predict how they will perform in play.
I have bought shoes in an emergency and then within a few yards having teed off, I know they are not going to work. This is not the case with the G/Fore Gallivan2R. The initial impression of support was justified both on the range and in play. They come with Tourflexpro softspikes ® and gave great grip. I tried them out in wet conditions and both the grip and waterproofing performed well.
PROS
Great comfort and support
Stunning looks
Waterproof
CONS
Some might consider them a little pricey depending on requirements
This golf shoe is very much my go-to style of golf shoe. I have always been drawn to a more trainer-like and casual style of golf attire, in particular shoes.
They aren’t anything overly extravagant to look, which I like and appreciate. Firmly, a simplistic style that can be match with loads of different golf outfit variations, so they aren’t dependent on what style you typically wear.
As far as on course suitability goes, I found these shoes to be fantastic. They offered great comfortability and are true to size. There’s no need to size up or down at all, save having to mess around with your usual choice.
Whilst looking like an everyday trainer shoe, they also have the traits of one as well. For those who consider performance benefits, then, these shoes felt extremely lightweight on the feet and weren’t much of a burden to trail around a course in. This also benefits the comfortability of them, which as I say was unproblematic
I also had no issues with stability. Some may still perceive spikeless golf shoes to be less sturdy, and that may be true during the heavy winter months, but with modern technologies they feel just as safe when swinging. These shoes were the same, I felt comfortable swinging hard in them.
I tested the model in white with a contrasting black sole and trim. This is one of three colour options and is ideal for the summer golf season, whether paired with shorts or long trousers.
If you wanted a shoe for summer and winter this shoe is ideal but would probably opt for it in black to cover both seasons more effectively.
The appearance was smart, athletic and yet relaxed. There is a low-key contrasting logo on the lateral aspect of the heel panel.
The upper is a waterproof PU/Nylon blend. There is a so-called Sweetspot Cushioning System which promises all day comfort with layers of cushioning and support. An air-mesh lining offers breathability and moisture management.
These are the sort of shoes that I would happily wear for 36 holes in a day. The sole delivered the strong traction and stability that the appearance promised , and there was no slipping or sliding even on wet, sloping lies.
PROS
Extremely comfortable
Excellent traction
Smart appearance
CONS
Less breathable than other options
RRP: £149 / $179.95
Sizes: UK 7-11 & 13 (Including half sizes) / US 8-14
Wow! Just look at this shoe. And the good news is that it feels as good as it looks. The pebble full-grain leather feels soft and supple. The ‘camo’ midsole offers a pleasing note of contrast in what is a really clean and classic golf shoe design.
The heel cup felt reassuringly firm. The sole boasts a bespoke cleat design which G Fore call G/Round control technology. The cleats certainly feel very durable.
There was a strong sense of stability thanks to the heel piece, and the cleated system on the sole provided excellent on course traction. There was no hint of slipping on uneven lies or in the couple of fairway bunkers that I found.
I think that the appearance, comfort and performance of the G Fore Camo Gallivanter golf shoes fully justifies the pricing and I feel that this is a shoe that will be getting a lot of use on the golf course over the upcoming season.
The Stromberg Tour Classic golf shoe is definitely in classic shoe design territory. In the past I equated this with good looks and sturdiness but usually a compromise on comfort. It is fair to say that this is a terrific looking golf shoe. It has an overall classic look but with the moisture-wicking mesh areas contrasting with the rest of the shoe it has a modern appearance.
Size-wise they were absolutely fine but I found them very slightly bigger than most other brands. This was not sufficient to go down a half size, however. As their appearance would suggest, they provided excellent support when hitting full shots. Walking in them was comfortable and they had great support over irregular terrain.
High tech, classic looks, waterproof, great grip, what’s not to like? These are supremely comfortable, not just for the type of shoe they are but compared to all golf shoes. I could not find them on the Stromberg website for some reason but they were on sale for £89.99 which I think represents amazing value.
I am a huge fan of their sleek design – a blend of traditional golf shoe looks combined with modern refinement. Lighter than expected for such a supportive golf shoe, this shoe is available in a range of colour options and is fully customisable with options to personalise everything from colour and traction systems through to embroidery – with this flexibility available, whether you’re aiming for a classic shoe look or a more modern feel, these shoes can fit the bill.
This sole undoubtedly provides enhanced grip, supporting the maintenance of balance during your swing. This feature is crucial for contributing to maintaining consistency in your shots, particularly in unpredictable weather conditions. Under testing in wet conditions, the shoe allowed no slippage or lateral slide which can be a cause for concern for some.
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a newcomer to the game, investing in a pair of FootJoy Premiere Packard golf shoes is a step toward improving your performance and enjoying the game in style.
PROS
Very smart
Easy to clean and polish
Really solid in the swing and underfoot
CONS
The heel of the shoe is quite firm and may need breaking in
When I slipped these shoes on, I was immediately delighted with the fit. Some golf shoes require you to go a size higher or lower because of their design, but this was far from the case with the Puma Ignite Articulate golf shoes.
This was clear to feel when I slipped them on and it became even more obvious when I began to walk the course and take my swings. The shoe was no burden on my feet, I had no blisters despite wearing them for the first time, and I’d say they were fairly light on my feet too.
The Ignite PU foam is included to provide a high-energy return and long-lasting cushioning. Time will tell if the Ignite foam cushioning will serve me for a number of years, but if my experience with the shoe so far is anything to go by, I have full confidence in this product.
The design of this shoe is centred around comfort and versatile performance, which ticks the main boxes of what everyone should be looking for.
PROS
The slip-on construction and geometry make the shoe comfortable
The smart lace closure design looks good and feels good
PU foam and long-lasting cushioning add to the overall comfort
Under Armour say the moulded heel is ‘anatomically designed to improve support and fit’, while a similarly moulded EVA footbed ‘provides supportive step-in comfort’.
Let me be clear, these do not feel like conventional golf shoes. The ankle and heel support are something you’d expect from a running shoe, and that gives you immediate confidence and an expectation of comfort.
The toe guard, a HOVR placement that supports your foot during a swing, and a good set of spikes (which UA say ‘lockdown horizontal traction and comfort as you swing’) only reinforces that feeling.
This particular model is designed for those of us with wider feet and they do a really admirable job. There is no crowding of toes, nor do they feel tight and uncomfortable across the top.
Overall, the Under Armour HOVR Drive 2 Wide golf shoe is a fine product and just another example of the huge progress the company continue to make in the golf shoe arena.
PROS
Moulded heel provides exceptional ankle support and comfort.
Wide fitting will appeal to golfers who struggle with standard shoes.
Soft upper and impressive traction allows the shoe to move with you as you swing.
These shoes will absolutely appeal to golfers who like the trendy modern trainer-type shoe, and when you put them on they’re even better. Although slightly wide fitting, they are extremely comfortable as soon as you get them on your feet, and the BOA fit system allows you to dial in the fit to perfection.
A standout feature of the shoe is the lightstrike cushioning midsole, which, despite being super light, is very cushioning underfoot and keeps your feet feeling fresh throughout 18 holes or even 36. This same technology is found in a lot of Adidas’s top-of-the-range sports shoes.
This sole undoubtedly provides enhanced grip, supporting the maintenance of balance during your swing. This feature is crucial for contributing to maintaining consistency in your shots, particularly in unpredictable weather conditions.
Under testing in wet conditions, the spiked shoe allowed no slippage or lateral slide which can be a cause for concern for some.
PROS
Extremely grippy
Easy to clean
BOA system is amazing
CONS
They are a wide fitting golf shoe so may not suit narrow footed people
These are not your average golf shoes. As soon as I opened the box, the Duca Del Cosma Orlando shoes exude quality, so much so they even come with a lovely white shoe bag.
I love the design and how they look very different to other golf shoe brands. I like to stand out and be different, and this pair of shoes will do that for me; they look Italian, and I like that.
Putting them on, as you would expect, they are extremely comfortable and very grippy; with each step, it feels like the shoe is grabbing a hold of the ground, which gives me the confidence to swing hard.
These are the most stable shoes I have ever worn. I’ve never had any brand loyalty but these shoes performed really well out on the course as well as looking great, so I might be Duca for life now.
It’s not all about looks for the Orlando Shoes; they did a brilliant job in keeping my feet warm and properly dry during the test on my home course at Sand Moor in Leeds.
Payntr are a relatively new company to enter the golf shoe market. They have designed their shoes with meticulous thought for every detail and an impressive array of technological innovations.
These are extremely comfortable, as comfortable as any golf shoe I have tried. Within a few minutes of walking around the house, it became apparent the fit was spot on. As with any shoes, it’s worth wearing them around the house for a while to check they are the correct size.
Payntr do seem to have put their money where their mouth is with these shoes, and they provide excellent support and extreme comfort. The design puts rigidity towards the back of the shoe and flexibility towards the front. This support is apparent when walking on uneven ground, on hillsides and when playing shots. They use Softspike’s Tour Flex Pro spike with the tech described as providing three degrees of traction control and 10 points of contact. In practice, this means they are as grippy as any shoe as I have worn.
The Payntr X 006 RS is a great option for anyone looking for a premium golf shoe.
PROS
Great looks
Extreme comfort
Superb overall performance with great stabiltiy and support
Out of the box, this shoe had a high-quality, athletic & sporty look. There is an embossed performance leather upper with a mesh tongue which gives a modern and smart look.
There is a whole load of hidden technology which combines to offer comfort, stability and rotational support. All this technology really does work. There is a firm and slightly springy feel underfoot. The outsole offered excellent grip from the six cleats and hybrid traction bar configuration that Ecco calls its Dynamic Traction System. There was no hint of slipping even. when going for that extra few yards off the tee.
The UK size 7.5 (Euro 41) standard width fitted my usually sized 7.5 wide foot extremely snugly out of the box. Although there appeared too be less padding around the collar, the shoe felt very comfortable indeed and the boa system offered really precise adjustability. I think this model runs true to size. As with most Ecco footwear, you can remove the outsole if your feet are particularly wide.
Overall, this is an athletic and sporty looking golf shoe which is very comfortable and performs extremely well on the golf course.
This shoe looked smart, technical and perhaps a little aggressive, out of the box, particularly in the black version we tested. If Batman played golf, he would most certainly choose these shoes.
There are nine cleats which are situated right at the edge of the shoe such that the pods containing the cleats are visible when looking down on the shoe from above.
I did find the visibility of the sole pods a little disconcerting at first, but, if anything, after getting used to the appearance, it gave even more reassurance of stability.
In the damp conditions and sloping lies the grip remained secure – my feet felt really planted to the ground and I cannot think of a shoe that has offered more grip. These are definitely one of the most stable shoes on the market.
My feet remained dry despite an occasional detour into wet heather and rough. As one would expect from the premium leather upper, the breathability was excellent.
If you want something with unparalleled traction and stability, FootJoy have really hit the mark here.

What is important when buying Golf shoes?
When buying new golf footwear its 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 color 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 2025 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.
