If your partner plays golf, there’s no shame in rocking the same equipment. It’s reputable, convenient, and (oddly or not) kind of cool.
Some golf brands don’t sell women’s shoes, excluding them from this his-and-hers comparison. I’ve identified three top brands that are perfect for the golf power couple. Whether you’re looking to twin on the course or surprise your spouse, these brands have the golf shoes for you.
I will be honest. G/FORWARD does not make the best golf shoes in the game. In fact, they are very far.
That said, G/FORE is a solid option for those looking to match their course mate. G/FORE dominates the women’s shoe market with about a dozen options for lace-up ladies. To put that into perspective, that’s roughly 30 percent more women’s options than adidas.
If we’re playing the comparison game, the G/FORE golf shoes are your driver (show drive) and the adidas golf shoes are your putter (dough putt).
adidas clears G/FORE in terms of performance by leaps and bounds, but features a slightly smaller selection in terms of a his-and-hers catalog.
Featured above is the adidas Adipower 26. The Adipower 26 is available for men and women and is currently being tracked to be one of the top three contenders for 2026.
adidas may take the cake in performance, and G/FORE may rule the roost in terms of style, but NIKE clears both in terms of quantity.
I counted roughly two dozen options for both men and women that are readily available year-round. NIKE doesn’t make the best golf shoes in the game, but you’ll find gold with specific models like Victory Pro 4.
If you’re looking for something familiar and comfortable, NIKE is a safe bet when shopping for golf shoes for you and your spouse.
Final thoughts
Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to adidas, NIKE and G/FORE. There are many other OEMs that cater to men and women.
If you’re not into twinning, don’t be afraid to mix it up, too. If you want to rock a pair of NIKE and your spouse prefers G/FORE, there’s no shame in that. Some golf shoes help specific types of feet. Take it Skechers for example: they will help relieve most of your pain with immediate comfort. You may be looking for it, but your spouse may not be.
A good place to start would be with a pair of golf shoes that one of you already likes. If it works for one of you, chances are it will work for both of you. Notice where your feet tend to hurt the most and create a list of your top priorities, starting with comfort and working up to traction.
