Choosing golf shoes isn't about the traction and stability of spiked, or the comfort of spikeless shoes anymore. With technological advances, performance, comfort, and fashion can now readily be had in the modern golf shoe.
And while cleaning is as easy as a wipedown, chucking shoes into the car boot is still a bad idea. Using and caring for golf shoes the right way will extend its life.
Footjoy has been the first name in golf shoes for over a century, and Golf Asia spoke with Patrick Trubiano, Senior Product Line Manager, on how to choose and care for the modern golf shoe.
GA: Spiked or spikeless, how does a golfer choose?
PT: Each swing is unique, so the choice depends on the preferred feel with respect to a golfer's footwork during the swing.
Having said that, FootJoy has developed the traction and grip of spikeless golf shoes to be as close to, if not on par with spiked shoes.
Spikeless shoes come in two forms - the versatile shoe worn on and off the course feature important traction and water disbursement properties, but adding an off-course end use does affect the final execution.
