We can talk all we want about what type of golf shoe is best for your game: who should wear spikes, who is better off going spikeless, what the tour pros do. But sometimes the most interesting data point is what players are spending their money on.
To find out, we asked PGA TOUR Superstore for a look at their best-selling men’s and women’s golf shoe styles so far in 2026.
Here’s what we found.

Women’s Golf Shoes: No Spikes in a Landslide
