Finding great golf shoes can take time and research, and even then you’ll never really know how shoes perform until you take them out to the course. We took the guessing game out of the equation by sending six pairs of the newest spiked and spikeless golf shoes with two TGW customers and let them take to the course. After three weeks of testing, each pair was rated on a scale of 1-5 for features like stability, style, arch support, comfort, traction, value, durability, and moisture protection. See all the shoes in action in our exclusive video, then read on for the full results and the winners!
SPIKED GOLF SHOES
Spiked golf shoes are a staple for any seasoned golfer because spikes provide a higher level of traction and a secure grip throughout the golf swing. Shoes with replaceable cleats remain a top choice thanks to the sure-footing and performance they provide. Our top picks for 2019 that we tested were the adidas Tour360 XT, FootJoy Fury, and ECCO Biom G3. See the results in our exclusive video to see which one our customers picked as the best.
Spikeless golf shoes have come a long way since their introduction. All the biggest names in the game of golf make spikeless options. They are sporty, comfortable, and versatile. Golfers love the ability to wear their shoes on and off the course without having to stop to change shoes before and after a round of golf. Our favorites for this year that we tested were the adidas Tour360 XT Spikeless, FootJoy Flex, and Puma Ignite NXT. Watch the exclusive video above to find out the results and which design came out on top.
THE WINNERS
SPIKED GOLF SHOE WINNER - ECCO Biom G3

- “I couldn’t name a single negative about this shoe.”
- “The attention to detail is remarkable, it would definitely be worth the money.”

SPIKELESS GOLF SHOE WINNER - adidas Tour360 XT Spikeless
Why it won:
- “This is a traditional-looking golf shoe so I really liked it coming out of the box. It looks like something I could wear with dress pants or on the course.”
- “The shoe kind of flexes and is a little more bouncy than what I expected.”
- “I like the fact that adidas puts this toe cap on it. That toe cap will help the durability of the golf shoe.”
- “At the end of the day, after performance, I really liked the bottom of the shoe.”
- “It’s more similar to my other shoes, it’s more of a traditional look. The grip was amazing. They were more of a style that I would play.”
- The adidas Tour360 XT golf shoes had a winning combination of comfort, style, durability, support, and performance that set it apart on the golf course.
I have a pair of Puma NXT Pros- Totally agree. Great shoe and as comfortable as it gets.
Unless shoe is offered in at least two widths, i.e. med and wide, it should not even be considered. I for one, am tired of being left out because I have a wide foot.
Ecco. Comes in 2 widths. The adidas are way to narrow for a lot of feet. Foot joy changed their last about 6 yrs ago. I used to buy foot joys every year and now I can’t even lace them up. I’m an Ecco guy. Try em.
