Frequently Asked Questions

Spiked or spikeless: Which is better for summer?

For firm and dry summer fairways, spikeless golf shoes are always a winner. They’ve got a real "trainer-style" vibe, making them very comfortable and lightweight right out of the box. Don’t worry about slipping, either - technology has come so far that the grip on spikeless shoes is now top-notch, and you’ll even see some pros wearing them on tour. That said, if you’re an early bird who plays while the grass is still soaking with dew, spiked golf shoes are still the king of grip and stability in the wet. Plus, since you can replace the spikes when they wear down, they often last a bit longer than spikeless models.

How should my golf shoes actually fit?

The goal is to avoid that "heavy foot" feeling on a hot day. Your shoes should feel snug, but not tight. You want a nice, supportive fit around the heel, but make sure there’s plenty of room in the toe box so your toes aren't cramped during your swing. Every brand fits a bit differently; one might be narrow while another is wider - so it’s always a good idea to try on a few different pairs to see which brand’s "last" works best for your foot shape.

What should I look for in a summer shoe?

It’s all about staying cool. Look for shoes with mesh or synthetic uppers, as these are designed to let heat escape so your feet don't overheat. If you’re worried about the odd summer shower, keep an eye out for premium breathable membranes like Gore-Tex; they let air out but keep water from getting in. Also, look for responsive cushioning and lightweight materials. The lighter the shoe, the less tired your feet will feel after walking four or five miles in the hot sun.

Can I wear spikeless shoes away from the course?

In many cases, yes. That’s one of the best things about the "sneaker-style" construction of summer shoes. They’re perfect for a session at the driving range or grabbing a drink at the clubhouse after your round. They feel just like a normal pair of trainers, so they're much more versatile than traditional spikes.
