11 waterproof golf shoes that will get you through fall golf season
Fall golf: It is the best of times, and also the coldest of times. In order to truly enjoy the crispy, glorious end of the season, you have to have the right gear. And that means shoes that are waterproof. Whether you’ve waited out a frost delay and are hoofing it through wet grass, or are brave enough to play through a chilly, misty afternoon, keeping your feet dry is crucial. Once your feet get wet and cold, there’s no warming them back up. But, if your feet stay dry, you’ll find yourself much more likely to make the turn. Here are 11 pairs of waterproof golf shoes that provide a protective layer between you and the damp, cold, fall weather.
Ludvig Aberg’s shoe is spikeless, but you might think you’re wearing nails. Larger traction wings around the perimeter provide incredible stability. The shoe makes a contemporary and athletic statement, too.
This updated wingtip is a lot comfier to walk in than the wingtips your grandpa wore—while still having that classic style. Cutaways in the outsole make it not only lighter, but also more flexible so your foot can move more naturally. The foam midsole cushions your foot as you walk.
Ecco aces comfort, thanks to its generously sized footbeds, interior knit sock and soft leather upper. If the look of the lace-less closure system isn't for you, there is a standard lace option.
At the midsole, there is a plate that prevents folding and twisting of the shoe. This makes it more stable and keeps you better connected to the ground. The additional material you can see on the upper creates a 'shell' that provides added support.
The heel counter prevents your foot from rolling in or out, creating a more stable base while you're swinging. The rubber outsole is durable, so it can handle being worn off-course, too.
Having a simple, classic shoe in your wardrobe is a good thing. You never know when you're going to get invited to your boss' club or you might just want to make your outfit look more refined from time to time. This is an easy go-to. The synthetic-leather upper is waterproof, and the foam used in the midsole is lightweight.
For those who like that cushy feel underfoot, the midsole is soft. Meanwhile, the outsole has a traction pattern that features the most aggressive nubs in the areas where you need the most grip.
You’ll see Brooke Henderson in these on the LPGA Tour. A spike-shaped traction element is at the ball of the foot. In Skechers’ testing, it was found to provide a stronger grip while being more comfortable than a removable spike.
