Golf Shoes

A pair of golf shoes with little spikes on the bottom is ultimately the best way to facilitate good footing during the golf swing.

Beginners can play in a nice pair of gym shoes with modest tread on the bottom. Some tread is helpful in keeping one's feet from twisting out of position on the ground On the other hand, too much tread could damage the greens.

A pair of golf shoes with little spikes on the bottom is ultimately the best way to facilitate good footing during the golf swing. The type of shoes bough, in my opinion, is mainly a matter of style and preference, as most golf shoes on the market today seem to be built more for riding in golf cars than for walking. That is, few shoes, if any, on the market seem to have the supportive construction or overall quality necessary to provide comfort and durability over many rounds of walking the golf course. Basically, when you start shopping for golf shoes, expect to find stylish dress shoes on the shelves. If waling is the intended mode of transportation around the course, I suggest inserting personal orthotics in your golf shoes for support. Also, if you walk the course several times per week, expect to replace in your golf shoes every year or so. On the more optimistic side, as more and more people insist on walking when they play, manufacturers will come out with golf shoes offering better support and more durable construction.
