Golf shoes are an essential part of any golfer’s wardrobe because your game starts from the ground. But do you want to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a pair?
Not necessarily.
We found that it is possible to find quality golf shoes for under $100 that offer comfort, stability, traction and can handle wet conditions.
5 golf shoes worth serious consideration
If you’re skeptical that $100 or less can buy you a legit pair of golf shoes, check out these five options that might change your mind.
1. Skechers GO GOLF Max 2 Rover Spikeless Slip-Ins for Men
Why we like them:
- Lightweight with a hands-free design so you can slip on and off. Extra cushioning and a relaxed fit make this an ideal shoe for regular and wide feet.
Good to know:
- It can be too cheap for a narrow leg and only available in two color options.
2. PUMA Phantomcat Nitro
Why we like them:
- Made from waterproof leather so your feet stay dry in the wettest conditions. It is not only lightweight, but also has a low profile and high stability with its Flexspike technology (a built-in clip that you cannot remove).
Good to know:
- Not all colors can be under $100.
3. FootJoy Fuel
Why we like them:
- An affordable studless option from FootJoy, these shoes offer moderate cushioning along with great traction. Available in narrow, regular, wide and extra-wide widths so you can tailor it to your foot size.
Good to know:
- Features a rounded box with a narrower toe and heel.
4. Adidas CourseCup
Why we like them:
- A more traditional take on this contemporary shoe, the adidas CourseCup incorporates full-grain leather on the upper. Although studless, it features extra rubber on the outside for better traction.
Good to know:
- It’s worth noting that these are water resistant, not waterproof. It also has a tighter fit.
5. adidas CODECHAOS 25
Why we like them:
- Another studless option from adidas, the CODECHAOS 25 includes a waterproof film. Offers strong traction and extra layering on the outside for durability.
Good to know:
- Available in a medium width size only.
5 golf shoe options that you can leave in the store
While we appreciate having many choices under $100, some golf shoes in this category may not be up to your typical standards.
New Balance 997 SL No Spikes For Men
These New Balance offer a stylish and casual option for 18 holes and dinner afterwards, but if you prefer supportive wrap for the balls of your feet, you’ll find them lacking.
PUMA Fusion Crush Sport Sustainability Limited Edition Spikeless Men’s
The PUMA Fusion Crush Sport has earned a reputation for extreme comfort. However, waterproofing (or even water resistance) is almost non-existent with its mesh design. Only buy if you are sure you will be playing golf in dry conditions.
NIKE Infinity G Next Nature spikeless for men
The NIKE Infinity G Next Nature studless shoes combine a stylish design with a waterproof outer layer. However, the shoes are quite narrow, even in wide widths, so order carefully if you can’t try them on pre-purchase.
PUMA Slipstream G No Studs For Men
The PUMA Slipstream G Men’s Spikeless Shoe offers a stylish option for a casual round and many reviews praise its comfort. However, it offers limited traction and stability, making it a questionable choice for wet conditions.
Callaway Pacific SL Men’s Spikeless
The Callaway Pacific SL men’s spikeless shoes offer a comfortable choice for on and off the course, but their lack of stability features can cause you to slip with a full swing.
Final thoughts
Let’s celebrate the fact that there are plenty of golf shoe options in the $100 or less category. Many of these cost-conscious models offer similar features that you find at the $180 and up price point.
