Like any other sport, golf is more fun with the right equipment. When buying golf shoes, however, the focus should be on functionality rather than looks. If you are looking for the perfect equipment but don't know what is important when buying golf shoes, then our guide is just the thing for you.

Which shoes are suitable for golf?

A good basis for playing golf is a good pair of golf shoes on your feet. Because everything in golf depends on your stance, i.e. your feet. With this in mind, you must be able to stand securely. The shoes must be comfortable and fit perfectly. This is the only way to avoid injuries or the formation of blisters and swelling on your feet. As your feet quickly work up a sweat during a round of golf, it makes sense to opt for high-quality shoes. This ensures that the shoes do not rub against your feet or cause unpleasant pressure points. High breathability also makes wearing golf shoes much more comfortable.

Ultimately, it can be said that you should only wear shoes for golf that offer you a good fit and good wearing quality. However, this does not mean sneakers or sneakers, but golf shoes with or without spikes, as required by golfing etiquette.

Choose the right shoes: You should pay attention to this

No matter what level you are at in golf, your golf shoes are the most important part of your equipment. Accordingly, you should weigh things up carefully before you go shopping. The first thing you should look for when buying golf shoes is a last that offers enough room but also protection for your toes. Look for shoes that adapt to the shape and angle of your toes. To cushion the strain on your body when walking and standing during the round of golf, it is also advisable that the shoe has a removable and supportive sole inside the shoe. A coarse profile or studs ensure that the shoe has a better grip on the ground.

Only golfers with the right golf shoes can hit the perfect tee shot with a firm footing, manage the eight to ten kilometers per round in any weather and make it to the clubhouse at the end. And to make sure you can do this, when buying golf shoes you should make sure that the model has a high level of quality and comfort. After all, if you choose high-quality shoes for golf, you minimize the risk of injury and have a firm and comfortable stance when teeing off. Care should also be taken to ensure that the foot is not restricted in its natural movement. It is therefore essential to look for stability, lightness and a perfect fit when buying golf shoes. If these criteria are met, golfers will be wearing the perfect shoe for their needs.

In addition to the above-mentioned criteria for a good shoe, you should also focus on good wearing comfort. This means that the golf shoes should be waterproof, but at the same time have good breathability. To put it simply: shoes that fit your foot well and do not pinch or constrict it are the best golf shoes.

Which golf shoes for beginners?

For those who have just taken up golf, it also makes sense to have a good pair of shoes right from the start. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to buy the Mercedes of golf shoes. Especially not if you are not yet sure whether you want to stick with golf. With this in mind, golf beginners should take a realistic approach.

If you want to swing your golf clubs once or twice a year for fun, you don't really need to buy expensive golf shoes. There are also comparatively inexpensive models available on the market that are a good introduction to the sport. However, if you are thinking of joining a golf club and want to play golf regularly, you will need to buy golf shoes that fit well and are comfortable to wear, which will of course be worth their price. No matter how intensively you want to play golf in your free time, in the end only one thing counts for hobby and occasional golfers, but also for pros: well-fitting and comfortable golf shoes with good stability. Beginners are best advised by trained sales staff in the Golf House store.

Where can you buy golf shoes?

Golf shoes with spikes, golf shoes without spikes or golf shoes with studs - either golf shoes for women or golf shoes for men - are available in the golf store closest to your home or can be ordered in the online store. However, both options have their advantages and disadvantages. Each golf store only offers a certain selection of different models, but not the full range. This is where the online store has a clear advantage. Almost all models, designs and sizes are presented here. However, despite the huge selection, you don't know whether the shoe model ordered from the online store will really fit perfectly. If you are looking for certainty, it is better to seek advice from a specialist in the golf store. A good place to go for the perfect golf shoe is Golf House. There you can browse the huge selection of shoes in the online store as well as get advice in the Golf House store.

1. A better golfer with the right golf shoes

Golfing means walking and standing a lot. For example, golfers take around 12,000 steps during a normal 18-hole round. In between, they stand by the ball to make the perfect shot to or onto the green. To play golf successfully, it is therefore important to have a good grip around the foot and secure contact with the ground. And with properly tested shoes, your feet will definitely not be tired after the round. That's why a variety of golf shoe brands offer a carefully selected range of stylish and sturdy golf shoes for all weather conditions.

2. Walking and standing requires suitable golf shoes

In summer, when it is pleasant on the golf course, you need lighter and thinner golf shoes with good breathability. Possibly also spikeless shoes so that you can wear them on other occasions. But as we all know, the weather can change in summer, so you should choose your golf clothing accordingly. And especially in fall and winter, golf shoes should be sturdy and robust. Most players opt for a shoe with a practical membrane that keeps water out and wicks away moisture at the same time.

3. Golf shoes with spikes and without spikes

At this point, however, it should be mentioned that the trend is increasingly moving towards spikeless golf shoes. Instead of spikes, they have soles with studs or a coarse profile. This makes the shoe lighter and more comfortable, softer to walk in and still offers good grip. And the good thing is: spikeless shoes can also be worn away from the golf course. Nevertheless, you will also find many models with the tried and tested soft spikes in our Golf House stores.

Important! Regardless of which golf shoe you decide to buy, you should feel and try on all the models you are considering. Because the most important thing is that a golf shoe really fits - to your foot and to your swing. Only then is it a perfect golf shoe.

What do golf shoes cost?

As already emphasized several times in our golf shoe guide, when buying the right golf shoes, it is important to find footwear that has the necessary characteristics for golfing: the perfect combination of stability and flexibility. Consequently, the price of a good pair of golf shoes cannot be the only deciding factor. Therefore, when trying them on and walking around, pay attention to how comfortable and secure the shoe is on your feet. If there are already pressure points before you buy them or you don't feel comfortable in the shoes, then you should try a different model straight away. So don't get stuck on a particular brand or the recommendation of your neighbor or golf partner. Try on other shoes first, and if the shoes feel good on your feet, then you have found the perfect golf shoe for you.

At this point it should be mentioned that the more you want to use your golf shoe, the more durable it needs to be, but the more expensive it is to buy. And if you want to be out on the course in wind and weather, you need waterproof shoes, which is also reflected in the price. You can find a good selection of golf shoes in the Golf House store or online store, for example from the brands Adidas, Ecco, Footjoy, Nike and Skechers.
