Best Spikeless Golf Shoes Reviewed & Rated for Quality
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Materials
Most crucial and important element that we wanted to consider when it comes to the design of a shoe is the upper material. The upper material ensures the durability of the product as well as the structural integrity of the item. We discovered that most shoes are made from two common materials, textile fabric or synthetic leather. With that said, both of these materials have many different properties to them. Let’s cover both in better detail.
Comfort
Comfort is most crucial in these five different areas when it comes to golfing for many different reasons. First, without a comfortable shoe an individual can come out of the course in pain and although the course is always calling a golfers name, the pain of uncomfortable shoes says, “don’t go back!” We wanted to ensure that individuals were receiving quality shoes that were designed for all-day comfort. What we discovered is that most shoes when it comes to the sportswear industry are designed with cushioned insoles, some are even shock absorbent and moisture wicking depending on the brand. However, this is where an individual must consider what are the most important aspects when it comes to comfort because not all shoes are designed the same.
Value
The third most crucial and important element that we wanted to consider when it comes to the design of a shoe is the upper material. The upper material ensures the durability of the product as well as the structural integrity of the item. We discovered that most shoes are made from two common materials, textile fabric or synthetic leather. With that said, both of these materials have many different properties to them. Let’s cover both in better detail.
Leather
Leather happens to be highly durable, is dirt resistant, and can be easily cleaned. With that in mind, leather is also one of the most high-quality materials and high end when it comes to the sportswear shoe industry. For golf, leather is also an appealing addition to any outfit. However, leather is less breathable the fabric, so brands have to take different approaches to design the shoe’s structure, so it is breathable and comfortable to wear all day long. This design is usually perforations on the upper to ensure airflow in and out of the shoe.
Fabric
Now, the fabric is known as the most common material that a shoe is made from. The reason being is that fabric is slightly less expensive, durable, and allows for different design elements. For example, the fabric can be made to be moisture wicking, water-resistant, and also breathable. However, the fabric also gets dirtier than leather and can be difficult to clean if the shoe gets really dirty. With that said, the fabric is the most common choice and it can be nylon, textile, polyester, or mesh, which is the most common upper.
