One of the great things about colder temps creeping up on your golf habit this time of year is that it helps promote more walking, especially since you’re not so worried about being worn out and drenched with sweat after a round.
Of course walking a round of golf requires comfortable shoes, and some of the most comfortable golf shoes you can find are of the hybrid and spikeless varieties, meaning you can wear them from your home straight to the course and back, with minimal to no wet grass ever touching your hands. It’s a beautiful thing.
So here’s a look at some good ideas for fall footwear to get you started. Because you know what they say: happy feet, happy golf game. Well, we’re saying it at least.
Starting with the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low G, an iconic shoe remade for the course. It’s got air in the heel for a cushioned ride, an integrated traction pattern to keep the foot grounded and the obvious point: you look fresh for a full 18 holes. And we’ve told you about the J. Lindeberg Vent 500 Golf Sneaker, which features a one-of-a-kind custom outsole that helps make this shoe lightweight, versatile and stylish.
Another good option for cooler temps is the LUX Hybrid from True Linkswear, with an “All-Weather” innovation featuring advanced waterproof bootie technology that keeps the foot dry. Plus a midsole with cushioned comfort, an Achilles heel pad to support the back foot and a full grain Napa leather saddle to stabilize the foot. Meanwhile, the LUXG/Fore MG4+ golf shoe is a great combination of lightweight comfort and technical performance, with a washable, triple density foam cushion footbed and fully padded lining.
Also looking to make your upcoming golf rounds comfortable and dry is the New Balance Fresh Foam Contend spikeless golf shoe, with a molded insole for comfort and a Fresh Foam midsole for stability – and with a cloud-like feel too. And don't forget about this brand we’ve been talking about called Redvanly and their Challenger Spikeless golf shoe, with a jogger-style construction and an innovative design that makes putting them on and taking them off easy peasy.
Hopefully these options can help you take the right steps toward optimal walking conditions in the coming months. If you need some guidance on transitional layering you know we’ve got your back – literally and figuratively. And one more thing when it comes to your feet: don’t forget the socks!
