Selecting The Right Golf Shoes For Your Game

Selecting Better-Than-Par Golf Shoes

Golf shoes can make or break your golf game. If they're not comfortable they can make an enjoyable afternoon on the green a miserable one, or they can interfere with your golf swing as you alter your stance to relieve the discomfort.

Cleats & Spikes

Golf shoes have several unique features that should be considered when purchasing them. The first is the cleats or spikes that golf shoes have on the bottom to improve traction. Some golf shoe manufacturers, such as Dexter, offer spikes that have wear indicators so that you know precisely when it’s time to change them. This is a great feature whether you play a lot of golf or only the occasionally game because one glance lets you know if it’s time for new spikes.

Breath ability & Moisture Control

You'll also want to look at the golf shoe’s ability to let your foot breathe. Since most people play golf in warm weather, and exercise can cause your feet to perspire, you'll want a shoe that can keep your foot dry through small air vents or a moisture absorbing insole.

Speaking of moisture, you will also want to consider if you need a waterproof shoe for golfing. Depending upon your climate, the course you play, and how soon you like to get back on the course after it rains, you may be walking on wet grass. Early morning golfers may also encounter dew on the grass. In these cases, you will want to consider waterproof golf shoes.

Comfort & Stability

Finally, you want to find a golf shoe that offers both comfort and stability. Because your stance shifts as you swing your club, you want a stable shoe that allows you to maintain your footing without rolling your foot. A good golf shoe can offer this stability while also providing cushioning for comfort.

When you're hitting the links, your golf shoe can make all the difference. Make sure yours are helping you play like a pro!
