It’s once again that magical time of year when the sun is out longer, temperatures are rising, snows receding, and golf courses across the hemisphere are optimistically opening up for business. It’s also, not coincidentally, the perfect time of year to upgrade your golf footwear, since these early days are also characterized by wet areas, mud patches and lingering dew.
The wrong shoes won’t just look out of date; they’ll leave you playing golf in soggy socks, hating every step you take and stealing your attention away from where it belongs: your next shot. And unlike, for example, running shoes, which wear down very quickly from constant use and abuse, the right golf shoes can easily last you multiple seasons, making it more than worthwhile to invest in a pair that look great and perform well.

There’s one more reason that now is a great time to be shopping for golf shoes: competition. In years past, only a handful of companies even made golf shoes, let alone good golf shoes, but in 2025 there are a record number of companies eagerly competing for your golfing dollar, with the result being that prices are kept in check, quality keeps improving, and innovative new technologies are being incorporated to keep weight down and improve stability.
Reebok Nano Golf
Reebok recently made a giant splash in the golf world by signing social media sensation and LIV professional Bryson DeChambeau, and he’s been dominating the professional scene in these gorgeous Nano Golf shoes, based on the blueprint of their bestselling Nano training shoes. They look great, perform well, and offer incredible on-foot comfort, no matter what conditions you’re playing in.
Sun Day Red Pioneer Cypress
If you’ve got the budget and want to dress like the greatest golfer of all time, the Pioneer Cypress shoes from Sun Day Red should be on your radar. They offer a modernized take on the classic golf shoe aesthetic, while also upgrading the performance with modern technology requested by none other than Tiger Woods himself, including a 6mm heel-to-toe drop to allow for maximum power generation from the ground up.
Nike Victory Tour 4
Assuming you can manage to get an order in for these in-demand shoes, we promise you’ll be satisfied with your purchase. The sleek, almost understated aesthetics belie the incredible engineering put into making these shoes top performers, including a carbon fiber plate that’s stiff when you’re standing still or taking a swing but flexible when you’re in motion, allowing for maximum performance without compromising on comfort.
FootJoy Traditions Golf Shoe
FootJoy is one of the oldest players in the golf shoe game, famous for creating classically-styled shoes that are actually comfortable on the course, and their Traditions model upholds that standard effortlessly. Made from full-grain leather and sealed for maximum waterproofing, these shoes can stand up to even the worst weather conditions, though they will need some regular TLC to look and perform their best over the long term.
G/FORE MG4+ O2 G/LOCK
G/FORE is one of golf’s upstarts, breaking the style mold with every offering, but their quality and performance are second to none. The MG4+ O2 G/LOCK combines the comfort of a sneaker with the performance and hold of soccer cleats, allowing you to keep your balance, whether your ball is in the middle of the fairway or stuck in a slope in the sand trap.
Under Armour Drive Pro Golf Shoe
Under Armour might have begun with football but this sports behemoth brand has also taken the golfing world by storm, offering an excellent and surprisingly affordable array of performance clothing and footwear. The Drive Pro keeps the price down by foregoing water resistance, but these shoes look so good you won’t want to get them wet anyway, while Under Armour’s proprietary UA HOVR and Charged Cushioning technology maximizes energy transfer and stability while minimizing foot fatigue.
adidas Tour360 24 Boa Golf Shoe
If you have the cash to splurge on a high-performance golf shoe with modern styling, the Tour360 from adidas should be high on your list. The rubber sole and leather upper combine to offer a no-compromise construction that can hold up in all weather conditions, while the 7-spike traction design creates a firm hold on all terrains, including harder muds, compacted sand, and extra-thick rough (not that you spend any time there, right?).
Payntr Golf All Day SC
MyGolfSpy’s Most Wanted Golf Shoe of 2025, the Payntr Golf All Day SC combines a waterproofed, breathable membrane with microfiber on the upper to keep unwanted moisture out of the shoe while still allowing your foot to breathe on warmer, dryer days, so you can use these shoes rain or shine. The cherry on top, though, is the molded Ortholite footbed, that gradually gets more and more comfortable the more you play in it.
