Choose Golf Shoes Wisely

By Rhys Jones


Your swing could well change, your accuracy and distance will definitely improve with practice, and you'll become deadly accurate with at putting, but you will always do all these things while you are standing on your feet in your shoes.

So, your feet need to be quite comfortable, don't they! Have you ever developed 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 area where you shouldn't let your frugality make the decision for you. You will be wearing these shoes many times over a long time and they should be considered a good investment in your game of golf.

Comfort, not cost, should be your main concern when you are buying shoes. Your foot should not move at all at the heel when you walk, yet your toes shouldn't feel cramped. Have your shoes fitted professionally and walk around in them before you actually buy them.

Serious golf shoes should also be waterproof, so that your feet stay dry in damp conditions. Good quality socks are just as important too, as they will take perspiration away from you feet, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

All golf courses forbid the use of 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, purchase a few extra spikes as you never know when you might lose one. You should also replace the spikes when they become worn.

You have a lot of things to think 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.
