Golf Shoe Choices
We all know that walking round a golf course can be hard
work, 4 hours of trudging after a ball can really take it
out of your feet. All the more reason to ensure we have a
good pair of golf shoes on our feet! In recent years
manufacturers have made a lot of technical advances and
there is such a wide range of golf shoes available. Today's
shoes really are game improving with advances in sole
design, spike effectiveness, waterproofing, breathability
and weight and that doesn't take into account the look of
the golf shoes. So what to look for when you are buying a
pair of shoes, well the main things to look out for and
compare are; comfort, style, waterproofing, breathability,
traction and price.
Most golf shoes are made of leather and this is probably the
best material to choose, leather provides a stretch free
waterproof shoe. You normally get a guarantee of water
resistance with the shoe to give you some reassurance that
it will do the job for which it is intended. The only down
side to leather is that it isn't the cheapest material out
there but as always you pay for what you get and it is worth
paying that little extra. Within the shoe there will be a
waterproof liner and if you can get one with Gortex than all
the better though there are other options that may be as
good. Most of these materials will be breathable and
waterproof to ensure you are comfortable in both hot weather
and wet weather.
So you have decided on a breathable, waterproof shoe, now
the hard bit, style. There are so many out there it is
frightening. Different colours, different designs so which
to choose? Well really it depends on your personal taste you
can go for a classic look, one that looks like a trainer or
a brogue or go for something a little different like a golf
sandal or a golf boot. Yes I said it a golf sandal and a
golf boot! Golf has become so much about the look and the
design of your outfit that almost anything is possible to
get these days. Golf sandals have made an impact as players
look to find a lightweight shoe that isn't as restrictive or
as hot as a traditional Golf Shoe. The open toes make them
cool in summer and because of they use less material they
can be cheaper. Golf boots are rarer but are available
non-the-less, they are designed to look like hiking boots or
even wellies and offer the best waterproofing. The downside
is they cost more as they use thick waterproofing material.
Best idea is to visit an online golf shop and have a good
look through all the options before making a purchase or
even two if you want a summer and winter shoe.
