These shoes are a Skechers premium offering and are used on Tour by players such as Matt Fitzpatrick. But how do they perform? Raj Singh put them to the test to see if they are the best Skechers offering to date.

Introduction

The Skechers Blade Tour Slip-In Golf Shoes are designed as a tour-style spiked golf shoe with hands-free entry. It targets golfers who want performance similar to a classic spiked shoe but with the convenience of a slip-on design.
This is a new offering from Skechers for 2026 and is their premium tour product. Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Greyseman are using Skechers shoes for the 2026 PGA season and given Fitzzy’s recent run of form – it is quite an endorsement!

The specific version that Matt Fitzpatrick is currently wearing has been phased out of the Skechers current line up.

However, the newest model is the Blade Tour, which offers updated features and performance enhancements and is the shoe under review in this article. So, let’s dive in with our full Skechers Blade Tour Slip-In Golf Shoe review…

Key benefits	Downsides
Sleek and elegant shoe – they just look good and can see why this model is seen on Tour	No added extras – it is hard to find any downsides, other than it is premium price, and for that an added extra, like a shoe bag, would be nice.
Packed with technology – these are new and improved
Enhanced stability and support – provides a fantastic platform for you to swing fast and in comfort
‘Hands free’ – Skechers Hands Free slip in technology for an easy fit
Waterproof – an all round the year shoe

The Arch Fit technology moulds to your feet, making them even more comfortable.
The shoe feels stable, the forefoot section is wider as is common with this brand and helps to improve stability on even the most vigorous swings!

NCG Final Say

This is undoubtedly a premium product with good looks, packed with technology which provides enhanced stability and produces very comfortable golf. The improved distance and less dispersion claims I cannot vouch for but they are evidently helping to support Matt Fitzpatrick with his game – 3 PGA Tour wins thus far in 2026 is pretty impressive. I know it is more than just the shoes, but the fact he is a micro detail person reflects the quality Skechers provides him.

A while back, Skechers did a promotion including a shoe bag with each purchase, this would be a really nice added bonus that would be fitting of going along with their Tour standard golf shoe.

How they compare to other shoes

I have been a long time Skechers user and this is by far their best offering! It compares quite favourably with more expensive comfort brands. The immediate comfort out of the box is impressive and what I have come to expect with this brand.
