Long gone are the days of leather soles and the clickety-clack of metal spikes as you walked into the pro shop. They’ve been replaced by soft spikes and spikeless golf shoes that are ever growing in popularity thanks to their comfort and casual ‘street’ style.
We don’t necessarily have a preference, but they each offer inherent benefits and slight drawbacks. For example, if you tend to play in the mornings when there’s dew on the grass or generally play in a wetter region where turf is wet, you probably want a pair of soft spikes for a bit of added grip and better waterproofing. Whereas, if you like the idea of going straight from your car or office to the first tee and then to the 19th hole, there are plenty of spikeless options that look just as much like a cool pair of sneakers as they do golf shoes.
Spikeless

Nike recently introduced the idea of bringing some of their classic sneakers back and reimagining them as golf shoes. One of those biggest hits is the Nike Air Max 1 G. Nothing gets more classic and sporty than these. With durable rubber traction outsoles these can be worn pretty easily from the 18th green to the 19th hole, and the visible Max Air Unit is the icing on the cake.
