Max McVittie reviewed these in 2025 and loved them. The only issue he commented was that they were a little pricey. But 1 year on they are not now! They are 36% off in the UK and 50% off in the US and so represent a great deal to be had. The original review is below, with no changes, apart from the new available price.
Original Review
The latest addition to Adidas’ Codechaos range is here. And, it’s certainly a looker. The range is one of Adidas’ most popular, and with the eye-catching design, you can see why. So, how did we find them? Read our Adidas CodeChaos 25 golf shoe review to find out.
NCG SUMMARY
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.
They are also great practically. Extremely comfortable and have fantastic levels of grip even when swinging hard. The waterproofing also works well.
PROS
- Look amazing
- Great levels of grip
- Waterproof
- Performance wise, works very well
CONS
- A little pricey at full RRP – but current discounts represent a great deal
Adidas Codechaos 25 Golf Shoes Review: First Impressions
Golf apparel continues to trend to a more casual, stylish look and away from the more traditional styles. These Adidas Codechaos 25 golf shoes are certainly an example of that, and personally, I’m all for it.
If you prefer a sneaker-like golf shoe then this is a great option for you. These are far from what you’ll typically find if the golf shoe market in terms of looks, but I love them. I was immediately struck by the colour scheme of green and pink, which I wouldn’t usually go for, but I think works well.
Despite, the bright colours and bold design, they don’t feel too outlandish. They still felt like they belonged on a golf course.
NCG Verdict
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.
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.

Despite the usually hot weather for the UK, the shoes had good breathability.
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.
Admittedly, I would be slightly apprehensive to use the Adidas Codechaos shoes throughout winter. To me they’re more of a summer shoe. That’s not because I don’t think they wouldn’t be able to handle harsher conditions, but because I just personally think the style and design suits drier, summery weather.
The shoes are very well waterproofed. Although it wasn’t wet there was considerable dew on the grass and the ground was still wet in places from heavy rain a few days earlier. They handled these conditions extremely well. The waterproof upper kept my feet dry, even when I needed to wander into the longer grass, quite a lot, to find my ball. They also come with a one-year waterproof guarantee that should put your mind to rest about getting wet feet.
This adds to the versatility of the shoe. Something to always look out for when buying golf apparel.
All things considered, I really like the Adidas Codechaos 25 golf shoes. The price is quite steep, but you do get your money’s worth, in my opinion. The effective waterproofing, stable sole and overall design make this a really appealing golf shoe.
