To start playing golf, you need a variety of gear and goods, but "don't skimp on shoes, choose good ones," says the staff of Golf 5 Prestige. Shoes that support your feet, which are important in the sport of golf, ultimately have a direct impact on your score. This time, we will introduce six pairs of golf shoes recommended by our staff from the three perspectives of high functionality, comfort, and design. Try them on carefully and find the pair that's right for you.

Golf shoes support your feet. They should be comfortable and not tire your feet.

Golf shoes are one of the most important golf accessories because you will be walking around in them all day when you step out onto the golf course. Shoes not only support your feet when you swing, but also reduce foot fatigue during a round. Broadly speaking, there are spiked shoes and spikeless shoes, but recently there have been an increasing number of spikeless shoes that offer the same level of support as spikes, so spikeless shoes are sufficient. If your feet get tired, your swing will not be stable. The key points to consider when choosing shoes are how comfortable they are and how fatigue-resistant they are. In-store, you can try on shoes, and we will recommend a pair that will suit you.

[Functionality is key] FOOTJOY's excellent grip is trusted by pros

FOOTJOY's "Pro SLX" is a favorite among golf pros. The "X-Wing" is made of durable and elastic TPU (urethane resin), which gives the shoes a sense of stability and grip as if they are sticking to the ground. The BOA Fit System dial is placed on the heel instead of shoelaces to improve the fit of the shoes. The insole is made of "X25", which has excellent shock absorption.

The dial of the BOA fit system, which is usually placed on the upper of the shoe, is located on the heel of the ProSLX BOA. This creates a smart design on the front part.

[Functionality-oriented] Adidas Golf's best grip performance in history, without any spice

The latest in the "Code Chaos" series of golf shoes, which represent adidas. The shape, number, and placement of the lugs on the sole have all been revised from the previous model, improving grip performance by up to 40%. The spikeless shoe provides a sharp feeling of gripping the ground. The upper is made of a new material called "udon knit upper," which provides a soft and comfortable fit. The PU film also provides high waterproofing.

[Comfort is key] The supple ecco original leather ensures comfort.

Among the golf shoes from Danish leather shoe brand ecco, this is the BOA model of the "BIOM C4 SHOE," the highest spec model. The sole is equipped with GORE-TEX SURROUND®, making it 360-degree waterproof and breathable. The upper is made of "Driton Nappa Leather," which is synonymous with ecco, and is durable, breathable, and flexible, so it is guaranteed to be comfortable to wear.

The ventilation holes on the sides of the midsole allow moisture to escape from the inside of the shoe, reducing stuffiness inside the shoe. The shoes are also designed to be comfortable as sports shoes.

[Comfort-oriented] Triple sole construction pursues the best cushioning in ecco's history

Among the golf shoes from ecco, the LT1 is a model that specializes in lightness and comfort. The three-layer midsole, made using a unique manufacturing process, creates amazing cushioning and elasticity, providing a perfect fit between the sole of your foot and the shoe. It's so light that you feel like you're not even wearing shoes. The premium leather upper will also become more comfortable as you wear it.

[Design-focused] Adidas' high-spec shoes that go well with classic styles

The latest technology is fused with a classic design inspired by golf shoes from the 80s. The midsole is made of lightweight and highly resilient LIGHTSRIKE, which is also used in competitive running shoes, and the heel is equipped with a BOOST core, achieving both lightness and resilience. Although it looks like it, it is actually a comfortable "high-spec" shoe.

These golf shoes were created through a collaboration between UNITED ARROWS and Cole Haan, a leading American lifestyle brand founded in 1928.
