With the kickoff to the season just around the corner, we can’t wait to head out and enjoy the sunshine. Of course, a big part of being prepared for golf is making sure our equipment is just how we like it, and what’s more important than wearing the kind of shoes that really speak to you and make you feel good when you’re playing golf?

Picture the coming days: It’s nearing the best time of the year, the sun is out, flowers are blooming, and there’s more time in the day to play golf. With the turn of a new season beginning, you deserve a new change to your game too, so why not spruce up your wardrobe?

Getting yourself a new golf shoe will be a breath of fresh air and you’ll be playing down the fairway with a spring in your step. We have lots of new shoes landing in the pro shop in the near future and we can’t wait for you to take them in.

 

What should you look for in a golf shoe?

As with all shoes, they need to have that comfort factor so they feel snug and familiar when we slip them on. We also need shoes that will keep us protected from the elements when it’s wet underfoot so a soggy sock doesn’t dampen our fun on the course.

Once we’ve considered the fundamentals it’s important that they look good too. Looking stylish will tap into that feel-good confidence boost that comes when we’re playing well and we just know we’ll ace the next shot. Read on to explore some excellent golf shoes to consider if you’re after a new pair.

Our shoes that are on the way have all these factors covered and will have you falling in love with being on the course all over again. Here are some fantastic new releases from Skechers that we’ll be stocking this year.

These shoes will help you get about the course safely and in style; A waterproof material covers the exterior so you won’t get bogged down in any turbulent weather. The upper and underfoot sections are well cushioned to keep your feet feeling secure and comfortable as you move around. You’ll also have a firm grip on any terrain thanks to the diamond traction plate and cleated spikes on the sole of the shoe.

There’s a pull tab at the back of the shoe, giving you something to tug should you want to slip your shoes off. Available in both eye-catching blue and white colour patterns, the Pro 5 Hyper looks great and will help you shoot low whatever your golfing occasion.

Elite 5 Grip Max Flex
