Golf Shoe Bags

Technically you don’t “need” a shoe bag for your golf shoes, you could simply throw them in any old bag to take them to and from the course. But there’s a reason professionals and the most dedicated players use them.

Your golf shoes are, arguably, the most important part of your golfing wardrobe because they offer you the greatest tactical advantage:  the ability to remain firm in your stance throughout your swing.

If you want to give this golf shoe technology the most robust protection possible, a golf shoe bag is definitely the way to go.

Absolutely. The beauty of golf shoe bags is that they allow you to carry your shoes to the clubhouse, so you can put them on in peace just before heading onto the course. 

This is in comparison to putting them on in the car park or, heaven forbid, just before you leave the house, which could make for some difficult walking - especially if you’re wearing spiked golf shoes.

Once you’ve put your golf shoes on in the clubhouse, simply fold down your golf shoe bag and slip it into your golf bag or stow it away in a locker with your street shoes before heading to the first tee. It’s that simple.

Yes. If you’ve been golfing for years without a dedicated bag for golf shoes, you’ll be well aware of just how easy it is for stray muck and grass to find its way from your shoes to your car boot, no matter how well you think you’ve cleaned them before you head home.

But golf show bags do all the hard work for you by catching dirt particles you’ve missed, preventing them from turning your car into a sandbox. Simply give your golf shoe bag a quick clean every week and you’re good to go.

Perhaps not all the time, but you should keep them in your bag while carrying them to and from the course.

Not only will this help keep your car clean, but shoe bags for golf act as a brilliant defender against damage, so should your shoes be thrown around as you’re driving from A to B or something be dropped on them, they will be safe.

However, like most items of clothing, golf shoes need to be allowed to breathe every once in a while to help keep the materials in top condition and to avoid the build-up of dampness or mould - something that can happen if they’re bagged up at the bottom of a wardrobe all day.

Overall, keeping them in the bag some, or even most of the time, is fine. Just make sure you don’t pack them away and forget about them if you’re not going to be playing for a while!
