Finding the perfect pair of golf shoes can feel more daunting than a 200-yard par-3 over water. But it doesn’t have to be.
I’ll sum it up very quickly: if you follow my advice, I promise you’ll find a pair of shoes that works for you. At the end, I’ll also share some of my favorites (you won’t necessarily agree with all of them). Use this guide as a jumping-off point on your quest to find the shoe that fits you best.
Do: Shop in-store
With the rise of Amazon and other online retailers, heading to an actual brick-and-mortar store can feel archaic at times. That said, it’s the best way to shop for golf shoes. There is simply no substitute for being able to touch, see, feel and, most importantly, try on the shoes you’re looking to purchase.
Unless your favorite online shop has a liberal return policy, it’s best to go somewhere in person to make sure the shoes fit. The reality is that shoe sizing is inconsistent. Brand to brand, and even within one single brand, shoes fit differently. Make sure you try before you buy.
Don’t: Stick with one brand
I know you’re tempted to just stay with your favorite brand. I get it. I’m that way, too. When you find something you like, you stick with it.
