The 7 Best Golf Shoes To Tee Off In Comfort And Confidence

If you find yourself questioning the comfort and support found on spiked golf shoes nowadays, let FootJoy’s Hyperflex Carbon be the answer. With its breathable upper and a soft, supportive footbed, the shoe offers immediate step-in comfort and a custom fit from the first wear. Plus, FootJoy’s effective outsole ensures stability and enhanced range of motion, while cleats that come courtesy of Softspikes provide unbeatable traction through every swing. And with a waterproof construction that’s backed by a two-year warranty, the shoe checks just about every box while offering a little peace of mind, too. Indeed, they’re a bit pricey at $200, but we consider the blend of durability and comfort to be worth it for any discerning golfer.

When you're gearing up for a day on the greens, the Adidas Tech Response SL 3 Golf Shoe is your trusty companion, seamlessly blending comfort and performance without breaking the bank. Built for any modern golfer on a budget, these shoes use a spikeless design that keeps you grounded while offering unparalleled flexibility, thanks to Adidas’ X-Traxion outsole that’s grippy and Bounce cushioning that’s incredibly forgiving.

Whether you're teeing off or navigating the back nine, they provide the support you need for every swing and stride. Plus, with at least 50% recycled materials in its construction, you're not just working on your game—you're also contributing to the fight against unnecessary waste. Don't let the $70 price tag fool you; these shoes are an amazing combination of value and functionality backed by hundreds of positive reviews.

For some golfers, a spikeless shoe offers more comfort and versatility than a spiked shoe. Lightweight and a bit more plush, they allow you to walk the green in comfort and head home after a round without changing into a second set of shoes. But if you’re still wondering which spikeless set to invest in, look no further than the Biom C4 Gore-Tex from Ecco.

Underfoot, three different grip patterns provide traction and stability through different movements, so you’ll feel just as stable teeing off as you will chipping from thick rough. Up top, Ecco’s performance leather upper not only looks good but also breathes surprisingly well for a natural material. And underneath the performance leather lies a layer of Gore-Tex (GTX) that delivers 100% waterproof protection. Add in a layer of cushioning and you’ve got yourself a supportive, stable spikeless shoe that transitions seamlessly from the fairway to the clubhouse.

Why more golf shoe manufacturers don’t inject their kicks with cushy, comfy foam remains a mystery. After all, golfers who forgo a cart spend hours on their feet and therefore deserve as much support as a modern running shoe might provide. Fortunately, Adidas had the good sense to make this S2G golf shoe with its patented Bounce midsole that’s cushioned yet flexible and responsive. In addition to its added support, the S2G uses a waterproof upper to offer walker-worthy weatherproofing. And underfoot, a spikeless V-Traxion outsole, though not quite as grippy as the Ecco Biom C4, offers reliable grip whether you’re swinging from the tee box or facing a bad lie.

By and large, golf shoes are designed for golf as you might assume, but every now and then a shoe comes along that we’d love to wear beyond the course. Currently, that shoe happens to be the Puma Golf Ignite Elevate.

Underfoot, Puma’s patented Ignite foam is so stable and comfy that we actually look forward to walking for hours. Up top, a breathable mesh upper comes complete with a one-year waterproof warranty. And if we’re being honest, this shoe just looks good, plain and simple, which is why, if it weren’t billed as a golf shoe, we’d find every excuse to wear it beyond the course. High praise aside, keep in mind that Puma shoes often run narrow, so if you have wide feet or need additional room, consider the wide fit version that’s available in the same colors for the same price.

When it comes to making the most of your time on the fairways, the G/Fore MG4+ women's golf shoes are hard to beat. Built with a waterproof outer, they keep your feet dry and comfortable through every round. But it's not just about protection—the antimicrobial triple density foam cushion footbed contains massaging nubs that provide unparalleled support and comfort, while the fully padded interior lining enhances breathability, keeping you cool even on the hottest days.

Stability is key on the course, and with a molded external heel cap and a responsive midsole, these shoes offer stability and support for every swing. The rubber non-slip outsole, featuring a hybrid knurled and sawtooth traction pattern, ensures you stay grounded and confident in your footing with every step. Plus, with an extra set of laces included, you can customize your look to match your style.

There’s no reason an enthusiastic young golfer shouldn’t have the same quality shoes that a grown-up player dons before a round. Fortunately, FootJoy puts the same research and development into their junior golf shoes as they do other pairs in their line.

Sized for growing feet, the Fj Fuel Junior Golf Shoe employs synthetic uppers, molded rubber traction soles and a cushioned outsole. The construction focuses on comfort above all to keep the kid coming back to the game. FootJoy keeps the price for these junior golf shoes at a junior level, offering them for around $75—a price that’s easier to stomach when you know full well that junior will grow out of these in a year or so.
