Introduction

When you are looking for your next shoe, I would guess that TravisMathew (TM) would not be a brand that would be at the front of your mind. I suggest that would be a mistake because TM, and its predecessor (Cuater) have been quietly producing excellent shoes for a number of years. And all the pairs I have tested still form part of my shoe ‘wardrobe’, which attests to the quality and practicality of this particular brand.

Here we test the new for TravisMathew Nuage Mega golf shoe for 2026, which has already achieved tour validation courtesy of Callaway staffer, Akshay Bhatia.

How I undertook the review

I undertook the review by wearing these golf shoes over half a dozen rounds at my home heathland course, Alwoodley, in Yorkshire. Testing occurred during a mini-heatwave in generally dry and springy conditions. I also took them up to the Highlands of Scotland where we had some inclement weather. So I have been able to assess all key features.

What I found

The first thing to say is that these shoes are supremely comfortable. I cannot recall testing a more comfortable spiked shoe. The fit was perfect for me and I did like the slightly wider toe box. I played golf on five consecutive days in the Nuage Mega without a hint of discomfort or rubbing.

Key benefits	Downsides
Performance – The construction of the shoe provides excellent support and grip, allied to class-leading comfort.	Looks – Not for all.
Weight– 410 gms for a spiked shoe is reasonable.
Looks– a clean and modern look.

The shoe was stable, offering strong torsional rigidity, and my heel felt securely locked in place. The typical grip tests for shoes (fairway bunkers and uneven lies) were handled with ease.

The weather conditions were predominantly dry and warm. I found that my feet remained comfortable with no moisture buildup that can occur with synthetic materials. More to the point, we played a few holes at Royal Dornoch is extremely heavy rain , and my feet remained bone-dry.

Although it is difficult to provide reliable comments regarding durability, I can say that the four Cuater/TravisMathew shoes I have reviewed over the years are all still in my wardrobe and are showing no signs of wear or deterioration. Of course, you do need to look after your golf equipment properly. In the case of synthetic uppers (as opposed to genuine leather), soap/water, a soft cloth and maybe a soft brush is all you need to keep these shoes in good condition.
