Adidas S2G 26 Golf Shoe
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.

Best Summer Shoe
Puma Helsinki Golf Shoe
The Puma Helsinki Golf Shoe offers a stylish, trainer-inspired look that appeals to those seeking versatility and modernity. Designed mainly for summer, they feature lightweight, breathable materials, and a comfortable fit – even for my wider feet.
The grip and stability are suitable on various terrains, making them ideal on and off course everyday wear.
While they might not be a go to pair for muddy wet winters, they excel in warm weather – also passing the most stern of waterproof tests and so if you got caught in a down pour your feet would remain dry. The casual design may not suit traditionalists, but for those wanting a relaxed, sporty look, these shoes provide comfort, style, and practicality.
PROS
- Very comfortable
- Versatile – can easily be worn on and off the golf course
- Great summer option – no issues with grip and support
- Waterproof – this surprised me, but they definitely are!
CONS
- Not an all the year round golf shoe if you play golf on muddy courses in the winter
- Looks not for everyone

Easiest to Clean
G/FORE Women’s G.112 Stripe Kiltie Golf Shoe
The G.112 Stripe Kiltie’s are a stylish pair of golf shoes that give out of the box comfort.
Beaded with the usual bobbles on the inner sole you’d expect from G/FORE, these shoes were just as comfortable on the 18th green as they were when I first tried them on. I’d recommend half a size up on your usual – and these shoes were generous on width.
The synthetic upper was easy to wipe clean.
PROS
- Great styling
- Easy to wipe clean
- Comfortable and supportive
CONS
- Water resistant not fully waterproof

Best All Rounder

Best for Grip
Under Armour Drive Pro Clone Golf Shoe
NCG SUMMARY
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

Sturdiest
Adidas MC70 Golf Shoe
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.
PROS
- Sturdy
- Comfortable
- Stylish
CONS
- Size up on your standard

Best Design
Skechers Blade Tour Slip-In Golf Shoe
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
- If anything a lack of added inclusions for the price – for example a shoe bag

Most Lightweight
Puma Ignite Elevate 2 Tour Golf Shoe
The Puma IGNITE ELEVATE 2 Tour golf shoe delivers an outstanding blend of style, comfort, and performance. Comfort levels are high throughout the round thanks to Puma’s responsive IGNITE foam midsole. On the course, the soft spikes provide tour-grade traction and a strong feeling of stability on all terrain.
Styling is a major highlight, with the shoe offering a clean, sporty look that feels modern yet smart. Add in the waterproof EXOSHELL upper, which promises protection without sacrificing breathability, and you’ve got everything a golfer could need from a pair of golf shoes.
PROS
- Supreme comfort all-round

PAYNTR Eighty Seven SC Spiked Golf Shoe
This is a glorious golf shoe. It has premium looks, is extremely comfortable and offers tremendous performance. It comes highly recommended.
So, plaudits to Jason Day and the team at Payntr, for this collaboration. I understand that there is the promise of more SC models in Spring 2025 and I’ll be interested to test those, because it’s difficult to see how the Payntr 87 SC could be improved. We shall see!

Can’t Beat a Classic
Skechers GO GOLF Prestige Golf Shoe
It’s hard not to be tempted by a set of shoes advertised as “Hands free slip-ins” so I wasn’t quite expecting such a classic traditional looking golf shoe when I opened the box and slipped them on – designed to maximise ease and comfort, these shoes need serious consideration when you are looking for your next pair to invest in.
PROS
- Great looks if you like the traditional golf shoe style
- “Slip-in” design works, even for people like me with wide feet!
- Lots of features to maximise comfort and support your feet
- 100% waterproof
CONS
- Make sure you choose soft spikes or spikeless (SL version) if you have a preference
- Not so keen on the ‘Skechers slipins’ printed on the heel

Contemporary Styling
GFORE Men’s MG4+ O2 G/Lock Golf Shoe
There is not a lot to dislike about the G/For MG4+ O2 G/Lock golf shoe.

A top shoe from the ever-inventive G/Fore company.

Best for wide feet
FitVille Primix Golf Shoes V2
Initially, I thought the shoes looked bulky with a squared toe, but once I wore them on the driving range and during a round, I was blown away by their unmatched comfort and stability.
