Picking the Right Golf Shoe For Your Needs

While golf shoes aren’t a requirement on most golf courses, wearing them will improve your game and your golfing experience. Golf shoes are built to offer you comfort and support that other shoes do not give. They are designed to allow easy maneuvering throughout the different terrain of a golf course; the spikes offer traction on short grass that can be slippery when wet, support on the hilly terrain, etc. The spikes allow for a nice grip so that your swing is steadier but it will also not do extensive damage to the course itself. As a result, for a better experience when golfing, consider investing in a high quality shoe! For some tips on selecting the best golf shoe for you, please read on!

Frequency of Play

If you plan to play a lot, you will want to invest in a higher quality shoe than someone who will only play a couple of times a year. The better quality shoes and materials will usually cost a lot more and as a result, if golf is a game you want to invest a lot of time into, you will have to be prepared to invest money as well! If you plan to play a lot, you will want a shoe that has a lot of breathability, comfort, and support.

Fitting Process

Finding the right golf shoes shouldn’t be a quick thing. You also want to make sure you come ready to try on shoes with everything you’d wear on the course. You should wear the socks you wear when you golf and also bring your clubs you use. Walk around in the shoes for at least 10 minutes and take several practice swings. If the shoes don’t feel comfortable, do not spend any extra time thinking about them and especially, do not buy. If they don’t bring comfort right away, they typically will not, even over time.

Also, if you are prone to ankle or foot problems, you will want to consult one of the experts at Palm Beach Golf Center for brands and styles that are better suited to you needs!
