In a world where choices abound and hype releases hit the stores every few weeks, are you making the best buying choice when investing in your next pair of golf shoes? Because, well, they are an investment.
Investing in the right shoes for your game can enhance performance and potentially help you shoot lower scores. A PGA Tour player's switch to the latest shoe model can sometimes be slow. When every 1% is crucial, the players need to make sure the shoes are exactly right. Just like the grip being the only point of contact with the club, our shoes are the only point of contact with the ground. We are all told how important it is to use the ground to generate power in the golf swing.
Why should you buy spikeless? Well, in theory, they can be more comfortable underfoot, lighter in weight, and perfect to wear to the course and in the clubhouse for a post-game beverage.
Should you really buy spiked golf shoes? Do your feet move in your golf swing? Do you play a typically wet, tough-to-walk golf course? Do you demand the ultimate stability from your golf shoe? If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above questions, spiked golf shoes may be the shoes for you.
Either way, there are many options for golfers out there, from your favourite Jordans turned golf shoes to the sporty, comfortable, high performing offerings from Adidas. Accent your outfit in many different ways but don’t compromise on what performs best for you.
