Golf shoes

Great golf starts with the right shoes. If you're comfortable and cool, with a good grip on the fairways and greens, you only have to worry about the game. There are two main types to consider.

Golf cleats: These shoes with spikes on the soles are the traditional choice. They're breathable and durable, and the cleats provide excellent traction as they dig into the dirt. That traction translates directly into stability for your swing. Originally, cleats were metal, but most modern cleats are plastic, so they're kinder to the surface of the green and are a bit more forgiving on your feet when walking long distances.

Spikeless golf shoes: These shoes are a more recent development. They combine style and comfort in a lightweight shoe. They're also ideal for the driving range.
