So what is the best golf shoe?

It’s important to ensure that you have the best golf shoes that money can buy. The whole game of golf depends on having a stable base from which the golf swing emanates. The shoe is the method of contact with the ground and therefore you need a shoe which makes effective contact in all weather conditions.

Nike has produced, arguably, the most comfortable golf shoe on the market at the minute in the form of Nike Air Zoom TW. These golf shoes start at around £105 but can range from up to £200 so it’s important to have a good look around for deals. The Nike Air Zoom TW are very well manufactured and look class and subtle. Playing two rounds of golf in a single day can beat your feet up; even with some of your more expensive, top of the range shoes but the Nike Air Zoom TW remain comfortable and gives your feet plenty of protection and cushion. The Nike Air Zoom TW has the Scorpion stringer spikes that allow you excellent grip in all conditions. What makes this shoe even more impressive is that it comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

If you don’t want to pay as much money for a pair of golf shoes then you can’t go wrong with Nike Air Rejuvenated. This shoe comes with an air sole cushion, again, protecting your feet and come in sizes between 6 and 12 and in half sizes. Just like its relative, the Nike Air Zoom TW, they also come with the Scorpion stringer spikes. Nike has again produced an excellent pair of golf shoes at a reasonable price starting at just £40 and that includes one year manufacturer’s warranty.

Now when you are thinking of quality golf shoes, Foot Joy should spring to mind. Foot Joy has been the main leader in developing and maintaining the latest technology with their shoes for numerous years and they have developed the Footjoy Synr-G. Due to the memory foam and optiflex technology your feet mould into these golf shoes the first time you put them on and are comfortable from the word go and should give you no breaking in issues. Even if you haven’t wore them for a couple months they retain that great comfortable feel due to the technology in the shoe. The Footjoy Synr-G has only two spikes on the heel and the feedback we have received is that it takes a couple rounds to get used to it compared with other shoes but doesn’t affect the comfort and protection of your feet. The Footjoy Synr-G are quite pricey and prices start from around £130 and will vary up to and around £200. They come with a 2 year manufacturers waterproof warranty.



For another great choice try the Ecco Casual Cool II GTX. These are probably the most stylish shoes around and, being made of distressed leather with a textile and microfiber lining, they are also one of the most comfortable. It actually has a quite masculine look and it’s only real drawback is the price and availability. The Ecco Casual Cool II GTX prices start at around £120 and can vary up to £180 depending if you can find them in stock.

The final choice is the Adidas Tour 360 3.0 golf shoe. This golf shoe incorporates the latest golf shoe technology with its fitfoam, 360WRAP and 10-cleat TRAXION configuration. The fitfoam gives you fantastic comfort and your feet mould into them on your first out and remains like that and gives your feet a great level of comfort and protection. The 360WRAP surrounds you feet to give you good stability when you are in full swing. Really good support if you want to try rip one John Daly style. Some online stores are doing great deals on the Adidas Tour 360 3.0 and prices are starting from around £70 and that’s almost half the normal RRP price. Have a good look on the internet before jumping into buying them but the shoes also come with a 2 year manufacturer’s water proof warranty.

All the golf shoes mentioned are good quality golf shoes and offer pretty similar comfort, protection and stability, but the one that stands out at the moment is the Adidas Tour 360 3.0. With the great deals and offers on at the moment, picking these golf shoes up at £70 are a steal and we would recommend any golfer looking for new golf shoes to purchase them at that price.
