Golf shoes are an essential part of any golfer’s gear because your game starts from the ground up. But does purchasing a pair require spending hundreds of dollars?
Not necessarily.
We found it’s possible to find quality golf shoes for less than $100 that offer comfort, stability, traction and can handle wet conditions.

While we appreciate having numerous choices under the $100 mark, some golf shoes in this category might not stand up to your typical standards.
New Balance 997 SL Men’s spikeless
These New Balance offer a stylish, casual option for 18 holes and dinner after but if you prefer supportive cushioning for the balls of your feet, you’ll find these lacking.
PUMA Fusion Crush Sport Sustainability Limited Edition Men’s spikeless
The PUMA Fusion Crush Sport has earned a reputation for extreme comfort. However, waterproofing (or even water resistance) is almost non-existent with its mesh design. Only purchase if you’re confident you’ll be golfing in dry conditions.
NIKE Infinity G Next Nature Men’s spikeless
The NIKE Infinity G Next Nature spikeless shoe blends a sleek design with a water-repellent outer layer. However, the shoes are quite narrow, even with a wide width, so order with caution if you can’t try them on pre-purchase.
PUMA Slipstream G Men’s spikeless
PUMA Slipstream G Men’s spikeless shoes offer a stylish option for a casual round and many reviews praise its comfort. However, it offers limited traction and stability, making it a questionable choice for wet conditions.
Callaway Pacific SL Men’s spikeless
The Callaway Pacific SL Men’s spikeless shoes offer a comfortable choice for on and off the course but their lack of stability features may leave you slipping with a full swing.
Final thoughts
Let’s celebrate the fact there are many golf shoe options in the $100 or less category. Many of these cost-conscious models offer similar features you find in the $180-and-up price point.
