With winter just around the corner, it is essential to have a reliable pair of golf shoes that are fit for all conditions.
From keeping your feet dry in rainy weather to maintaining grip when it is greasy on the fairways, having a high-performing shoe will prevent your game from slipping.
And there are plenty of exciting new releases to consider adding to your Christmas list.
Adidas has backed up its ever-dependable reputation with the launch of the S2G RAIN RDY, a high-top that’s been created for comfort and stability on the golf course.
The FootJoy Tour Alpha shoe has revolutionised the grip provided with its Optimised Performance Stabiliser (OPS) that ensures you will never lose your footing and can have full confidence when ripping a full swing.
Finding the balance between comfort, grip, warmth, and durability is a tall task, with everyone’s preferences different, but here are nine winter golf shoes that may appeal to you this Christmas…
Adidas S2G RAIN.RDY
The Adidas S2G RAIN.RDY features a high-top ankle combined with a TPU heel clip to provide absolute waterproofing while maintaining stability and comfort around the course.
Despite its chunky appearance, the shoe features Adidas’ LIGHSTRIKE cushioning technology, meaning it’s more lightweight and comfortable than meets the eye, while lace closure on the upper ensures the foot stays dry.
FootJoy Tour Alpha
FootJoy’s winter variant offers the new OPS system, which features spikes that guarantee complete traction on any lie in any condition and comes with durability and comfort in mind as it moulds to the shape of your foot.
While the Tour Alpha is available laced, golfers can also sport this shoe in BOA and Dual BOA styles, a smart system where the fit can be fastened by a turning knob on the top of the shoe.
This is a testament to the brand’s efforts in making equipment accessible to all.
PAYNTR X-004 RS
Relative newbies to golf, PAYNTR are making waves in the sport following their boom in the cricket market, and new tech might make them worth the punt this winter.
The X-004 RS is the first spiked golf shoe to feature a carbon fibre propulsion plate, offering large levels of responsiveness and speed during impact.
It’s worth remembering that the brand recommends going down half a size on this shoe.
Nike Infinity Tour 2 GORE-TEX
Nike has come to play with a bright turquoise and pink colour scheme, bringing warmth to the winter.
The golfing giants have included an Air Zoom unit in the Infinity Tour 2 GORE-TEX, the same cushioning that’s used in their basketball shoes, to add maximum comfort and responsiveness.
Six spikes are bolted under the Air Zoom unit to provide better energy return and stability through the swing.
Under Armour Charged Draw 2
An ever-reliable golfing force, Under Armour has built this shoe around protection, whatever the conditions.
Their Ortholite
sockliner ensures the foot is locked in and safe from the elements while providing breathability.
The Charged Draw 2 also boasts a Never-Wet treatment, meaning your socks will stay dry on the course this winter.
Duca Del Cosma CHURCHILL
This Italian golfing brand has built the Churchill golf shoe in their attempt to combine style with practicality.
Priding themselves on using sustainable materials, the European shoe has a sock system made from recyclable microfibres, a memory foam insole and heel support from reused cork.
Their waxed laces and Italian Nappa leather make them among the trendiest shoes on course.
PUMA DRYLBL
The ultimate wet weather defence, the Puma DRYLBL comes with zip closure, meaning the entire foot and lacing system is safe from the rain.
Despite their clunky appearance (see main photo), the shoes have ultra-responsive rubber for energy return, and the zip closure will mean the shoe’s laces stand the test of time.
ECCO GOLF BIOM TOUR
ECCO golf shoes just get the job done with this well-balanced golf shoe, a great winter option.
The brand prides itself on quality and combines materials and aesthetics to make a shoe that is premium while getting the job done.
The BIOM TOUR has additional grooves and Pivix spikes that ensure traction and stability throughout the swing.
Callaway Chev Star
Despite being a budget winter golf shoe option, Callaway has pulled out all the stops with the Chev Star.
The shoe has a synthetic fused upper, meaning they are waterproofed from the outside in to minimise unwanted weak points.
In addition, the anti-clogging rubber outsole means your soles won’t fill with pesky grass on a wet day out on the course.
