J.Lindeberg Fairway Brogue Golf Shoes Review: First Impressions
These shoes have been described as being a modern take on a classic design, and I couldn’t agree more. For the more traditional golfers, this is a great option for a golf shoe that strains away from the sporty style that has become increasingly popular.
Admittedly, I tend to wear a more casual, sneaker-styled golf shoe, but I liked the smart appearance these had in comparison.
Simply put, it’s a great-looking shoe. The brogue detailing and the leather finish give it a professional feeling. You sense these shoes would be welcomed at any golf course and locker room. That’s a sense you don’t always get with sneaker-styled golf shoes.
NCG Verdict
The golf apparel landscape continues to move towards a more casual, sporty and lifestyle styling. Fewer people are wearing traditional golf clothes and shoes. But, I think we would all agree that there is space for traditional wear in golf still, and its presence should be maintained.
Practically, I found the shoes to perform well. The amount of traction these J.Lindeberg Fairway Brogue golf shoes offered was tremendous. When I tested them out, the ground was wet, so it was a fairly rigorous testing of their capabilities. At no point did I want a better grip from the shoes.
It’s a common concern for golfers, when looking for new shoes, that they may stay away from spikeless shoes out of apprehension. I, personally, don’t mind wearing spikeless shoes, at times I even prefer it. And, I have to say I was impressed with the stability I got.

They still have the comfort of a sneaker golf shoe due to their EVA Midsole and Rubber Outsole. Throughout testing, I suffered no issues with soreness or rubbing, even in slightly wet conditions.
Additionally, the waterproofing is also very good. J.Lindeberg attributes this to the use of seam seal technology and the premium waterproof full-grain leather, which is used to craft the golf shoes.
A slight drawback of the shoe is the price. It’s especially high, but you would certainly count this as a premium shoe offering.
All in all, I really like the J Lindeberg Fairway Brogue golf shoes. The classic styling and the lightweight midsole mean it is both a comfortable shoe and a great one to look at. Although the price is steep, the shoe does offer a premium feel and oozes class.
