Spikeless golf shoes have made huge inroads in the market in recent years. They certainly have their benefits, including comfort and convenience.
adidas TOUR360 24
One of the most notable spiked shoes in the game, adidas TOUR360 has been around for 20 years and it is the marquee shoe for the noted sports company. There’s a big overhaul this year, and adidas is stressing durability and increased performance. One of the areas you’ll notice a difference from past generations is in the heel. Adidas wants the new version to be able to be worn for 18 holes with no break in time, and the company tested multiple versions of heel designs to make sure it landed on the right one. Even the sockliner was modified to hold the foot in place and reduce any sliding during the swing.
Ecco BIOM Tour
Like all Ecco shoes, these feel great right away. One of the big changes though is offering this in a spiked version, something Ecco isn’t immediately identified with. Perhaps a little heavier than Ecco’s spikeless shoes, these excel in wet conditions. With national motion technology, and eight Pivix spikes locking you in place, as well as a three-year waterproof warranty, these are comfortable shoes from a manufacturer known for making some of the best in the business.
adidas Women’s S2G BOA 24
With the Boa system making these spiked shoes easy and quick to lock in, Adidas has created a golf shoe for women that is ideal for an emergency nine or that important match on Saturday morning. A lightweight athletic shoe, the S2G uses an Adiwear outsole that makes it durable and waterproof. The shoe uses reusable materials in its design to reduce unnecessary waste.
SKECHERS Go Golf Torque 2
Sketchers shoes are noted for feeling great as soon as you put them on, and Men’s Go Golf Torque 2 are no different. A well-considered shoe in terms of overall performance, they are based on an Ultra Go midsole and Goga Max insole designed to offer soft but responsive cushioning throughout your round. With a full-grain leather upper, you get an excellent fit that never feels heavy.
UNDER ARMOUR HOVR Drive Pro
Biomechanically engineered to offer great traction, UA’s HOVR Drive Pro is the next generation of an underrated golf shoe. Using UA Swing Support System, the shoe offers great traction, dual-foam cushioning and lockdown lacing, while a Swing Support Strap reinforces the upper to really lock in performance. With new UA S3 spikes for a great connection to the ground, and an updated fit, HOVR Drive Pro is an athletic golf shoe designed to help you play your best.
NIKE Air Zoom Victory Tour 3
Nike Golf has been through a lot in recent years, and this new version of the Victory Tour 3 offers a new look and subtle design changes. Extra padding in the ankle makes these comfortable right out of the box, and Nike added an internal strap that fits to the contour of your feet, adding stability. There’s a Zoom Air system directly under the upper that creates great feel, exactly as you’d expect from Nike. There’s a huge move from manufacturers in tapping into other sports for their golf shoes, and that’s exactly what Nike has done here.
adidas Women’s Tech Response 3.0
The adidas Tech Response 3.0 Golf Shoes are focused on traction, with a six-cleat design and easy-walking flex of an X-Traxion outsole to its Bounce cushioning. Overall, this is a shoe focused on performance, with an upper that features 50 percent recycled content, one of the keys to adidas’ green approach.
adidas Bounce 3.0
A replaceable spike shoe that offers great value and stability. With a six-cleat design, and adidas’ noted Bounce cushioning making the shoe super comfortable, you’ll find Bounce 3.0 is a great update to the line, providing tremendous traction. With at least 50 percent recycled material in the shoe, adidas’ goal is to help reduce waste while keeping you connected to the fairway on that big drive.
