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.
