If you're trying to find the right gift for a golfer this holiday season, golf shoes are a great place to look.
As long as you know their size, a fresh new pair of kicks is one of the best gifts you can buy any golfer, but there are hundreds of different options from dozens of different brands, which can make choosing the right pair a tough task. Golfweek is here to make that decision a little easier.
Check out these 12 great pairs of golf shoes you can gift the golfer in your life this holiday season.
Nike Victory Tour 4
Nike simplified its approach to the Victory Tour 4 golf shoe, with two things in mind: walking and swinging. Worn by several pros every week on the PGA Tour, these feature the brand's signature Flyplate technology, which is a carbon fiber plate that
flexes when you take a step and stiffens when you swing. Plus, its waterproof construction and two-pod spiked traction system promise comfort and stability in any conditions.
Adidas S2G Leather
Adidas brings casual streetwear style to the golf course with its S2G Leather Spikeless Golf Shoes. Its Lightstrike midsole cushioning enhances comfort and stability, while the full-length Adiwear rubber outsole provides long-lasting durability, so golfers can play round after round without having to worry about wear and tear.
Puma Fusion Grip 6 EVO
The Puma Fusion Grip 6 EVO prioritizes comfort and efficiency. Its Fusion Foam cushioning technology is designed to make sure no energy is wasted, while the spikeless outsole promises solid grip on the turf without sacrificing comfort and the microfiber upper provides breathability to keep golfers' feet cool and dry throughout every round.
FootJoy Originals
If the golfer you're shopping for is partial to the classic styles of golf apparel, then the FootJoy Originals Spiked Golf Shoes might be the shoe for them, because they are about as classic as it gets. Relied upon by golfers around the world for decades, the Originals provide a refined, timeless look with a full leather upper, but still feature the modern specs necessary for a functional golf shoe, like the DuraMax rubber outsole that enhances performance and stability in every swing.
New Balance Fresh Foam Contend V3
If comfort is the absolute No. 1, top priority for the golfer in your life, then it would be tough to find a better footwear option than the New Balance Fresh Foam Contend V3. While they don't really look like your typical golf shoe, these shoes boast a cloud-like feel thanks to the combination of their Fresh Foam midsole and CUSH+ insole that work together to provide maximum comfort, while the waterproof upper makes them suitable for wet conditions.
Under Armour Drive Pro Clone
The shoe entrusted by Under Armour's PGA Tour athletes (like Jordan Spieth), the Drive Pro Clone Golf Shoes were crafted with on-course performance in mind. The Swing Support System is designed to provide advanced stability and structure to help golfers get more power in every swing, while the brand's signature HOVR cushioning makes foot soreness an afterthought.
Skechers Slip-ins UNO
Another entry here that is geared toward maximum comfort, the Skechers Slip-ins UNO Golf Shoes are designed with all the cushioning technology that the brand uses in its casual streetwear, including their signature Heel Pillow that holds the golfer's foot in place and the removable Arch Fit insole that provides proper support for a better walking experience. And, as the name suggests, there's no tying of laces required. Just slip them on and go to the tee box.
Sun Day Red Pioneer Cypress
On the golf course, everyone wants to be Tiger Woods, so why not give the golfer in your life shoes that were designed specifically by Tiger and for Tiger. The Sun Day Red Pioneer Cypress Golf Shoes are loaded with all the specifications that Tiger requested, including a heel-to-toe drop that allows golfers to get more power when pushing off the ground while swinging the club. Not to mention, the classic design is about as sleek and stylish as it gets.
Air Jordan 1 Low G
Speaking of wanting to be like a professional athlete, golfers can now "Be Like Mike" out on the course with the Air Jordan 1 Low G. The brand essentially took the iconic Jordan low design and made it into a golf shoe, integrating a traction system for added grip on the turf with the classic leather streetwear vibe that features the world-famous Jordan wings logo on the heel.
True Linkswear OG3 Pro
Tired of the golf shoes that were built more like dress shoes or casual sneakers, PGA Tour pro Ryan Moore and his brother, Jason, founded True Linkswear and set out to create golf footwear geared toward athletic motion. The OG3 Pro Golf Shoes are a staple of their product line, featuring a wide, zero-drop design and naturally flexible material that maximizes comfort and mobility for golfers.
Adidas Tour360
A classic spiked design made for tournament players, the Adidas Tour360 Golf Shoes are made from premium materials and feature the brand's signature Boost cushioning technology, which originated in their running shoes. Waterproof, comfortable and stylish, the Tour360 will deliver everything a golfer could want in an on-course shoe.
FootJoy Pro SL
You might think soft, breathable material would allow water to get through, but that's not the case with the FootJoy Pro SL Golf Shoes, which feature 100% waterproof performance mesh that keeps a golfer's feet cool and dry regardless of the conditions. Plus, the brand's signature StratoFoam provides exceptional cushioning and comfort in every step.
