Save for later

We love that golf apparel keeps getting more versatile. Now more than ever, we’re seeing golf clothes and shoes that work off the course as well as they do on it. As you’re building your golf shoe collection, a pair of spikeless shoes that can also pass as street shoes can be a useful addition. They transition easily from the course to dinner, or from your daily activities to a quick evening session at the range. Though they look like street shoes, these shoes also were built to be lightweight, comfortable and have ample traction for the golf course.

$160

The synthetic upper is waterproof, so you’ll stay dry on dewy mornings. The plush insole is balanced out by a stable foam in the midsole for comfort and support. The spikeless traction patter is grippy enough for the course but won’t get in the way of walking around town.

The geometric traction pattern on the outsole gives you sharp points of contact with the ground to dig in and maintain your balance during the swing. The upper is a soft leather, which creates a casual look and is comfortable for all-day wear.

The breathable upper material will keep your feet from overheating, and it helps keep the shoe lightweight. The midsole is thick reducing the strain on your foot throughout the day. The modern aesthetic and spikeless outsole will have people thinking you’re wearing an athletic shoe, not a golf shoe.

Peter Millar Drift Leather Hybrid Shoe

The ‘x’ shaped nubs on the outsole give you traction on-course. The leather and suede upper is water resistant for on-course wear and styled in a neutral, classic way that will work just as well off-course.

adidas SW5540

$130

This shoe is focused on comfort. Adidas used its ‘Boost’ midsole, which is used in other shoe lines, too. It has a lot of cushion, making it comfortable, and also gives some bounce back as you walk, making your walk a little less strenuous. The upper is leather and suede and has a casual street-shoe look that will work off-course.
