Many golfers prefer leather shoes for durability, water resistance, comfort, and a classic look. However, these premium shoes require proper care to maintain their quality. If you want to extend the life of your leather golf shoes and get a few extra years out of them, this guide will cover everything you need to know. We’ve covered you, from pre-round prep to post-round cleaning and storage tips. While avoiding obvious things like jumping in puddles helps, there are additional maintenance steps you can take to keep your leather shoes looking and performing their best.
Pre-Round Leather Golf Shoe Care
Your leather golf shoes probably came with a shoehorn in the box.
Use it!
The shoe horn prevents damage to the heel, which helps ensure a proper fit and can even help prevent blisters. Before you put your shoes on, also take a look at the spikes (if you own spiked shoes) and ensure they don’t need replacement.
Finally, consider rotating your leather golf shoes. If you wear golf shoes every day, try to alternate between two or three pairs. Constant wear with one pair of shoes is not recommended, especially in wet conditions.
