Best Golf Shoes of 2019 – Buyer’s Review Guide

It's pretty easy to get overwhelmed with all of the golf shoe options available to everyday golfers. Lucky for you, we've been through the struggle, and have put together what we feel are the best golf shoes of 2019. 

Before we dive into the best golf shoe options, it's important to consider what it is that you deem important in a golf shoe. 

For example, if you're a competitive golfer, or someone that enjoys walking the full 18 as opposed to riding in a cart, then you may be more interested in comfort and durability as opposed to style or looks.

But if you're a weekend golfer that enjoys taking it easy and riding in a golf cart, then you may be more interested in sporting the latest golf shoes the pro's are using (see what the guys on tour are wearing in this article).

For that reason, we've decided to categorize our guide into the following buckets:

*We've also included a valuable Golf Shoes Buyers Guide down below our reviews to help you as you research. The buyers guide will include useful information about golf shoes, including the different golf shoe types, what to look for in a golf shoe, and much more.

Let's cut right to the chase, here are Golf Connection's top-rated, best golf shoes of 2019.

Now that we've got our recommendations out of the way, let's take a closer look at what makes these the best options available.

Remember, this guide is being made for the everyday golfer, with the intention of providing brief overviews of the items we feel are the best golf shoes in 2019.

We always encourage our readers try out any equipment we recommend before purchasing, and hope that this guide narrows down your list of candidates and makes the process a little less overwhelming, given all of the choices available. 

Let's get into our recommendations for the best golf shoes.


The first golf shoe on our list is the Adidas Tech Response Golf Shoe.

Although Adidas footwear is a favorite among many golfers today, tour pros included, you may be surprised to know that they are a relatively newcomer in the sport of golf. 

Fun fact, Adidas entered the golf market in 1997 when they acquired TaylorMade.

Fast forward to today, and the Adidas Golf brand has become one of the leaders in developing performance golf footwear.

Adidas Men's Tech Response Golf Shoes

Golf Shoe Pros

  • Lightweight 
  • Durable
  • Comfortable
  • Removable Cleats
  • Price

Golf Shoe Cons

  • Not Waterproof

The Adidas Tech Response Golf Shoe is a perfect embodiment of their R&D capabilities. The Tech Response Golf Shoe is designed with materials that are durable, lightweight, and extremely comfortable. They combine a low profile design and strong grip for maximum traction, allowing for a strong swing through impact. 

No slipping and sliding with these shoes. 

When the Adidas ThinTech EXP cleats start to wear,  they can be easily replaced extending the life of your golf shoes. Each pair comes with 20 replacement cleats, and a replacement tool.  

Circling back to the comfort of the Tech Response golf shoe...these shoes are quite possibly the most comfortable golf shoes I have ever worn. Certainly top 3. During a recent round of golf, in which I walked and carried my bag, I was amazed at how light the shoes felt on my feet. Maybe I'm old school, but growing up I was so used to my golf shoes feeling like a bag of bricks. I certainly didn't consider them comfortable. 

Not these though. The Tech Response shoes are extremely comfortable.

  • Thintech, adituff, thintech cleat, traxion, adiwear
  • Lightweight mesh and synthetic upper for enhanced breathability and comfort
  • Soft eva insole for lightweight comfort and cushioning
  • 6-spike configuration with thintech low-profile technology for improved traction and stability
  • 90 day comfort guarantee
The grip, which I touched on a bit, is phenomenal. I tend to tee off first thing in the morning, so the grass is still wet from the morning dew, and have had issues with traction with other golf shoes. Not sure how Adidas does it, but I didn't have any issues keeping my footing with this golf shoe. Keep in mind, I don't swing the club as fast as the Pro's, typically my swing speed is anywhere between 98-104 mph with a driver. So I can't speak to the traction of the shoe for swing speeds in excess of that.

But the everyday golfer, with typical swing speeds, would certainly find the Tech Response golf shoes to have amazing grip.

I mentioned that I tend to play first thing in the morning, so one of the features (or lack-thereof) I tend to notice right away is the golf shoe's ability to resist water. If there was a drawback to this golf shoe, it not being waterproof would be it. 

It does an OK job at repelling water, but honestly lacks in this department compared to other golf shoes available. This is primarily due to the mesh material used. The mesh is nice and makes the shoe comfortable and breathable, but as you can imagine, does not allow for a waterproof environment.

Lastly, let's talk about price point. Consistently priced starting at around $40-$50, you'll be hard pressed to find another golf shoe at this price range that combines the level of comfort, performance, and durability.

It is for this reason, that the Adidas Tech Response is our recommendation for the Best Value Golf Shoes of 2019.

Best Mens Golf Shoes - Callaway Men's Balboa TRX Golf Shoes

The next golf shoes on our list are the Callaway Men's Balboa TRX Golf Shoes.

The TRX golf shoes qualified to be the top golf shoe in several categories listed on this guide, and therefore is our pick as the overall best golf shoe for men. 

These golf shoes are among the most comfortable shoes available, and are also waterproof - and come complete with a 1 year waterproof warranty offered by Callaway.

#1 Golf Shoes for Men - Pro's & Con's

Callaway Men's Balboa TRX Golf Shoes

Golf Shoe Pros

  • Comfortable
  • Good Traction/Grip
  • Sleek Design
  • Waterproof

Golf Shoe Cons

  • Cleats wear easily

With the Balboa TRX, Callaway put a unique spin on traditionally styled golf shoes by adding a carbon fiber design to the rear and a ventilated side. These golf shoes are designed with premium materials that allow for several features:

  • Dura-Rubber sole for maximum traction, grip, and stability
  • Waterproof microfiber leather
  • Soft EVA midsole for ultimate comfort & natural feel
  • Opti-Vent mesh liner for air circulation and breathability to keep feet cool
  • 5mm EVA sockliner
  • Slim lok cleats

Let's start with the dura-rubber sole. The sole is equipped with seven plastic slim-lok cleats, which are replaceable using a standard cleat replacement tool such as this Spike Wrench from Champ Spikes. We found that the spikes allowed the Balboa TRX to have phenomenal grip in both dry and wet conditions.

No issues were experienced with water intrusion, validating that the waterproof material Callaway used truly works on this golf shoe. I have a buddy that has had a pair of the Balboa TRX's for over 2 years, and they still keep him dry to this date.

Both grip and water repelling capability are important features of this golf shoe, but for me what really stood out was the breathability and comfort/feel of the shoe.

Breathability in particular is a big deal for me. I was pretty impressed with the Opti-Vent mesh liner and how it made the golf shoe fairly breathable. I had been familiar with the opti-vent technology, but primarily only experienced it on Callaway's golf shirts. I was happy to see that the feature translated nicely to golf shoes. 

When it comes to comfort, how the shoe felt on my foot, the Balboa TRX did not disappoint. The midsole does a great job of molding to the contour of my foot in the arch, creating a good amount of support and cushion. I found it to feel very soft, and natural. Another plus is that the inner soles are replaceable, so if you ever find the need to use something more to your liking, you have the ability to do so.

  • 5mm EVA sock liner
  • Champ Slim-lok cleats
One minor issue that I experienced had to do with the golf shoes' width. Now something to consider is that I have pretty wide feet, but that said, I did notice that the shoe was a bit narrow for me. I've only played a couple of rounds with them, and am starting to notice a bit more room after more use, so not sure this is a permanent issue or if it fixes itself with time.

But out of the box they were a tad bit narrow. The good news is that Callaway offers both a regular width, and wide shoe size option. If I were to do it all over again, I would have purchased the wide shoe size.

Again, this may not be an issue for many of you, but thought I would call it out for those like me with a bit wider foot.

Lastly, let's talk about price point. The Balboa TRX typically sells for around $75-$100, so it is a little pricier than some of the other options. But, overall, it's a great value for the quality of shoe you'd be getting.

It is for this reason, that the Callaway Balboa TRX is our recommendation for the Best Mens Golf Shoes of 2019.

Next up is the Adipower 4orged S Golf Shoes from Adidas Golf.

The 4orged golf shoe is the latest result of Adidas' continuous strive for performance and innovation. 

A welcome refresh to the Adipower line of golf shoes, the 4orged golf shoe is produced utilizing a new forging process that adds additional support and stability throughout the golf swing.

The improvements haven't gone unnoticed, catching the attention of several tour pros, most notably Justin Rose.

Top 10 Best Golf Shoe

Adidas Adipower 4orged S Golf Shoes

Golf Shoe Pros

  • Spikeless
  • Forged Design
  • Comfortable
  • Lightweight
  • Adidas Boost Cushioning

Golf Shoe Cons

  • Tongue Too Tall

Please note, although there is both a spiked and spikeless version available, our thoughts and opinions below are specific to the spikeless Adidas 4orged golf shoe.  

Lets talk a little bit about what makes this golf shoe special, and what changes Adidas incorporated. Adidas did extensive research during the design phase, paying specific attention at how weight shifts throughout the golf swing. As a result, they saw an opportunity and came up with a way to provide more stability without having to add extra material. That process, which is called forging, focuses on the areas where one could use extra stability and then heat presses those materials in that part of the shoe. 

The heat press results in the material hardening in those target areas which in turn provides extra lateral support, and helps keep the weight of the shoe down, making it even more comfortable for golfers.

That's all good and great, but I don't need to know how it was designed, what are some of the features ? Glad you asked, here are some of the features that make this golf shoe special:

  • Breathable Protection - thanks to Climastorm, you get both a breathable and water repellent golf shoe
  • Better Stability - the Forging process gives way to added durability, lateral support, and stability where you need it most
  • Energized Cushioning - Adidas Boost technology is the most responsive cushioning ever
  • Strategic Traction - Puremotion outsole with strategically placed Adiwear traction for top of the line grip

Adidas Adipower 4orged S Golf Shoes

Adidas Adipower 4orged S Golf Shoes
  • Forged microfiber leather and textile upper with a thin TPU film
  • Puremotion spikeless outsole with strategically placed Adiwear traction
  • Flexible Bounce forefoot cushioning with responsive Boost midsole
  • Adaptive and breathable with soft stretch
  • Breathable, water-repellent Climastorm
I personally found this golf shoe to be quite comfortable and lightweight. The grip is amazing, especially for a spikeless golf shoe.

I'm also a big fan of the aesthetics and the way the shoe looks like a regular Adidas running shoe. The spikeless version adds versatility in that you can wear these golf shoes for almost any occasion. 

One minor drawback is that I found the tongue to be a little long, and as a result has a tendency to rub up against your shin while walking. You won't feel this while you're trying on the shoe, so its best to walk around a bit first and see if it is an issue for you. For those that ride in a golf cart it may be a non issue, but its something those that walk will want to take into consideration.

All in all, the Adipower 4orged S Golf Shoes are an absolutely stunning golf shoe, and checks all the boxes from an aesthetic and performance standpoint.

Golf Shoe Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Great Shock Absorption
  • Waterproof
  • Spikeless
  • Stylish
  • Zero Break In Required

Golf Shoe Cons

  • Narrow Toe Box

The Pro/SL golf shoes provide superior feel and comfort both on and off the course, thanks to its Fine Tuned Foam technology and the spikeless approach. 

FootJoy Pro/Sl Golf Shoes
  • Exceptional stability - a perimeter weighted outsole allows for extreme stability and added lightweight comfort
  • Laser plus fit - The laser plus last offers a full rounded toe character, standard fit across forefoot and instep, with a slightly narrow heel. Thicker insole provides increased underfoot cushioning for enhanced comfort
  • Performance Leather - chromoskin leather, developed by Pittards of england, is a supple, lightweight, durable and 100% waterproof leather
  • Versatile traction - a one-piece outsole combining 2 blends of our fine tuned foam (ftf) for cushioning and stability, With a TPU molded sole for traction, creates an outsole that is perfect for on course performance with wear-to-the-course versatility
  • Waterproof - FootJoy warrants that this golf shoe will be 100% Waterproof in normal use for two years (U.S. Warranty)
I've always been a fan of FootJoy's classic looking golf shoes. Reminds me of playing golf as a kid. 

I also remember the FJ's to be quite heavy, and rather uncomfortable (keep in mind the last pair of FJ golf shoes I owned was in the early 2000's).

Not the case with the Pro/SL Golf Shoes. I was pleasantly surprised at how light they were on the feet. They were exceptionally comfortable to walk 18 with, thanks to the added cushioning made possible by FootJoy's fine tuned foam.

From a maintenance standpoint I'm excited that the golf shoes are spikeless, which means I don't have change them every couple of months. I didn't notice any issues with grip or traction either, which is always a concern when switching to a spikeless shoe.

Best Golf Shoes for Walking - Skechers Men's Max Golf Shoes

The Skechers Golf Shoes, the shoes made famous by Mr. Matt Kuchar, are known to be one of the more comfortable golf shoe brands in the market.

The Men's Max golf shoes are designed with a mesh outer for increased air circulation and added comfort.  

They're spikeless, but the sole design grips well and provides good traction. 

Please note, these golf shoes are flexible, so if you want something with a firm platform you may want to look elsewhere.

Golf Shoe Cons

  • Spikes Wear Easily

The Men's Max golf shoes are pretty stylish, and look more like tennis shoes than traditional golf shoes. They're built with an Ultra Flight midsole and Goga Max insole, and have nice rebound and cushioning for a comfortable feel throughout the round.

  • Durable Grip TPU Outsole with a spikeless bottom
  • Lightweight
  • Water Resistant
  • Synthetic upper
In the past I've owned several pair of Skechers tennis shoes, and have always thought their memory foam shoes were among the most comfortable available. I did experience some issues with breathability though.

When I first tried on the Men's Max golf shoes, my first impression was "man, these are pretty darn comfortable too".  Aesthetically they look nice on the outside, but have a cheaper look than most of the other golf shoes on this list. 

After playing a couple of rounds with them on, I was fairly EXTREMELY satisfied with them. The comfort and support was the best, and the shoe was quite breathable thanks in part to the mesh lining.

It rained for parts of a round, and did notice that my feet got a bit wet - I think this is also a byproduct of the mesh material - so I wouldn't count on them being 100% waterproof. Maybe Skechers knows this too since they don't offer a waterproof warranty like some of the other big name brands.

All in all, the Skechers Men's Max golf shoes are a great, budget friendly golf shoe that doesn't skimp on comfort - and our recommendation as the Best Golf Shoes for Walking.

The Nxt Lace Golf Shoe is the latest iteration of Puma's Ignite franchise. It was designed with a thinner TPU frame, which surrounds the midsole resulting in a more durable & lightweight design.

This golf shoe was also designed with a unique sole. You won't find any replaceable spikes, or built in spikes, but rather over 100 hexagon shaped lugs that provide increased grip and traction.

This combination of innovative materials and progressive design make the Puma Ignite NXT Lace golf shoe a versatile option, giving you the performance you need on the course and the looks you're looking for off it.

My experience with the Ignite NXT Lace golf shoes was a positive one, although it didn't start that way. After receiving them I realized that they run big...about a half size too big. Not a big deal since I was able to exchange them and get the right size, but something to consider and take note of when considering to purchase this golf shoe.

From a performance standpoint, the Puma's are light and sturdy throughout the golf swing. The frame is sturdy yet flexible, thanks in part to the TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material, and overall it felt very snug and as if they molded around my feet. Not too tight, not too loose, but just right. 

I was very interested to see what kind of grip and traction the golf shoes had on the course, as these are not spiked, but at the same time not a traditional spikeless golf shoe. 

Surprisingly, they do a fantastic job. I didn't have any issues with slipping, and felt that my balance over the ball during my swing was improved.

The anti clog bottoms do a great job too, as I haven't had to clean out the bottoms to date. Furthermore, the shoe cleans up nicely after every use. I just used a moist rag to wipe off the dust/dirt and the shoe looks as good as new.

I found the golf shoes to be very breathable, and the non stretch waterproof mesh has done a good job at keeping my feet dry. 

All in all, the Puma Ignite NXT Lace Golf Shoe is a great option, and certainly one of the more stylish golf shoes in our list.

The Skechers Go Golf Elite 3 are an upgrade when compared to the previously reviewed Skechers Men's Max golf shoes. 

These golf shoes are built with an upgraded cushioned insole for improved feel and comfort.

The Skechers Go Golf Elite 3 are definitely a step up from the Skechers Golf Max shoe, but I still have some reservations.

  • High-Performance Resamax cushioned insole
Important to note, my reservations are strictly due to the aesthetics. In my opinion, although it is apparent that the materials are better than the Golf Max shoe, it still looks like a "cheaper" grade shoe when compared to some of the other golf shoe brands such as FootJoy, Puma, Callaway, etc.

But from a comfort standpoint, the Skechers Go Golf 3 shoes truly excel. The comfort level, for which Skechers are well known for, is among the best in the industry. 

Skechers used a combination of highly responsive 5Gen cushioning, and Resamax cushioning in the insole, to offer all day comfort and support. Honestly, had it not been for the lower price tag on the Golf Max shoes, these would have been my choice as the most comfortable golf shoe.

The waterproof design works, and although I haven't played through any severe downpours, the golf shoes hold up really well against the heavy morning dew. Skechers also offers a nice 2-year waterproof warranty, which goes to show how much they believe in the technology.

I thought the shoes were a bit heavier than some of the other golf shoes on the list, but still within the acceptable range.

All in all, if you're looking for something that is very comfortable and waterproof, and don't mind the Skechers aesthetic, then the Go Golf 3 shoes are a great option.

For those familiar with New Balance's running and walking shoes, you'll be happy to know that their golf shoe counterparts fit exactly the same.

The comfort and support for which New Balance is so widely known for, is also evident in their golf shoe line. 

These golf shoes are also among the lightest available, weighing just 11.6 ounces. New Balance is able to achieve this thanks in part to their FantomFit support system.

Aside from keeping your feet dry, the New Balance Nbg2004 golf shoes feel light and comfortable. New Balanced incorporated their proprietary revlite midsole, which was originally used to provide lightweight cushioning to runners and marathoners, into these golf shoes, and have created what I feel are some of the lightest golf shoes available.

The support is on par with I've experienced with their running shoes, and the grip is top notch thanks to the Champ slim-lok cleats.

The cleats are removable, which is a nice feature, so you don't have to worry about wearing them out and having to buy a new pair of golf shoes. Just buy a pack of replacement cleats and you're good as new.

These golf shoes come in three different color options: black with green accents, white with red accents, and grey with blue accents.

Aesthetically they did a great job with the design, and I'm very pleased with the looks.

They have held up nicely playing in wet conditions, and my feet have remained dry thus far. For these reasons, we selected the New Balance Nbg2004 Golf Shoe as our Best Waterproof Golf Shoe of 2019.

I was impressed with the grip provided by ECCO's dynamic traction system (DTS). I found it to be light and flexible, yet incredibly supportive.

You can definitely tell that this is a high quality, well designed golf shoe made with the most premium of materials.

I did get them a little muddy during one of my outings, but they're a breeze to clean off thanks to the Yak Leather. It's not really a cleaning that's required to restore them back to new after each round, more of a wiping off, and all the dirt and dust comes right off.

One of the rounds was played during a light, steady rain. Feet were dry at the end of the round, so the ECCO golf shoes did not disappoint in that department.

All in all I've been very impressed with the ECCO Biom Hybrid 2 shoes. They're super comfortable, provide great support, and are a more premium golf shoe. For these reasons, the ECCO Biom Hybrid 2's are our choice for the Best Spikeless Golf Shoes of 2019.

It also has power transfer zone technology which allows for a smoother transition from the top of your swing down through impact.

I have to admit, I've always been partial to a clean looking pair of Nike's. Something about them just makes a statement. It's kind of like a peacocking effect in a way.

These Nike Lunar II golf shoes are no different. I love the way they look. There are so many color variations available too. If you're a shoe fanatic, you won't get bored with the various color possibilities.

Ok, enough about the looks 🙂

How do these golf shoes perform? Pretty darn well. I am a big fan of the wider sole base, as it gave me really nice support and control throughout my swing.

The removable spikes are a nice feature, and result in tremendous grip. I also like that I can slap on new replacement spikes when I feel that the current ones are wearing.

In terms of shoe size, these fit true to form. I'm the same size in my Nike running shoes, as I am in my pair of Nike Lunar Control II's. Also noticed that they were exceedingly comfortable right out of the box, there was no typical breaking in required.

If you care about style and looks, just as much as you do fit, comfort, and performance...you can't go wrong with a pair of these Lunar Control II Golf Shoes.
