Having a hard time finding a golf shoe that incorporates style, tradition, modern appeal and performance? G/FORE golf shoes could be a solution. G/Fore makes things simple with a few core styles but features lots of different colors and designs.

Here’s our take on which G/FORE golf shoes could be right for you. 

What are G/FORE Golf Shoes?

G/FORE golf shoes started in California more than 10 years ago. The idea was to create a more modern design that brought a young and fresh look to the golf course. At the same time, G/FORE aimed to ensure that golf’s traditions and history were not ignored.

What makes G/FORE Golf Shoes unique?

All G/FORE golf shoes feature a massaging insole. The insole is antimicrobial, removable and washable. As you walk the course, your foot should feel as though it’s being massaged, always a good choice for the walker.

Behind the Design

TaylorMade teamed with local artist James Haunt to create the Summer Commemorative collection for the U.S. Open. Haunt describes his style as both gritty and vibrant, something he attributes to the dual-sided nature of living in Los Angeles.

The design itself is a juxtaposition of the buttoned-up, traditional side of golf and the gritty street culture of the city. Graffiti overtones and paint textures can be seen throughout the collection.
