Choosing Golf Shoes

Published by Rhys Jones at 9:46 am under Golf Apparel

Your swing may change with time, your accuracy and distance will improve with practice and strength, and you will become deadly accurate with a putter in time, but you will always do these things while standing on your own two feet and they can get tired.

So, your feet need to be quite comfortable, don’t they! Have you ever got a blister whilst walking or running? It’s all you can think about and it ruins your enjoyment of the experience of what you are doing. Don’t let uncomfortable golf shoes ruin your game of golf too.

This is one time when you shouldn’t let your natural tendency to save money make the wrong decision for you. You will be wearing these shoes many times over a long period of time and they should be thought of as a good investment in your game of golf.

Comfort, not cost, should be your biggest concern when buying shoes. Your foot should not move at all on your heel when you walk, yet your toes shouldn’t feel cramped. Have your shoes fitted to your feet and walk around in them before you actually buy them.

Proper golf shoes should be waterproof so that your feet remain dry under damp conditions. Good socks are important too; they will take perspiration away from you feet, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

All golf courses prohibit metal spikes on golf shoes in an effort to protect their delicate greens. Purchase shoes that allow you to change the rubber spikes easily, and while you’re doing that, buy some extra spikes. You never know when you may lose one. You should also replace the spikes when they become worn.

You have a lot of things to worry about when you are playing your round of golf, but your feet shouldn’t be one of them. When it comes to golf shoes, quality counts, honestly.
