Out with the old

Old golf shoes have those spikes that are made out of metal.  These types of foot wear are no longer allowed on the golf greens.  Throw them out and get a new pair of great golf shoes.  Current makers of golf shoes use spikes that are soft and made of plastic. 

Brand it or not

The brand is not as important compared to fit, comfort and style.  You may have the shoes that Tiger Woods wears but that does not mean you will play like him if you wear the brand of shoes he wears.  Be realistic.  If you prefer the slip-on golf shoes rather than the ones that you have to tie, go and get those.  It is your opinion and preference that counts more than anything else.  Listen to what your feet are telling you. 

Why are they on sale?

Golf shoes are different and unique.  Though you could  simply settle for any shoe that fits or any shoe that looks good because they fit your budget, this should not be the only consideration.    Take this as an example, a golfer once bought a pair of golf shoes simply because they were on sale. Lo and behold when the golfer tried it on the actual greens, he found out that it was a pain to the feet and very difficult to keep on as well as to tie. 

So please do not forget to try it out first.  Your feet would know better and then let your wallet speak after your feet have decided on the shoes.  Walk around the store with the shoes you are intent to purchase.  Make sure though that you also try on other pairs.

Know your real golf self

However, if you do not play golf very much, it is best that you purchase the kind of shoes that just as well do not cost as much.  But if you are a devoted golfer, shoes that are waterproof is the best option.  These shoes are good for walking as well as sloshing along the greens.  But if you are a golfer that is not so serious in playing and you enjoy the walking over the hills, around trees and tees more than playing or putting, then going waterproof may not be an option for you.

Your feet need to be comfortable! Have you ever developed a blister while walking or running? It’s all you can think about and it ruins the experience. Don’t let uncomfortable shoes ruin your golf game.

This is one area where you shouldn’t let your frugality make the decision for you. You will be wearing these shoes many times and they should be considered an investment.

Comfort should be your biggest concern when buying shoes. Your foot should not move at all on your heel when you walk, yet your toes shouldn’t feel cramped. Have you shoes professional fit to your feet and walk around in them before you buy them.

Proper golf shoes should be waterproof so that your feet remain dry in damp conditions. Good socks are important too; they will wick perspiration away from you feet, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

All golf courses prohibit metal spiked shoes in the effort to protect their delicate greens. Purchase shoes that allow you to change the rubber spikes easily, and while you’re there, purchase some extras. You never know when you might lose one. Replace the spikes when they become worn.

With all the things you have to worry about while playing golf, your feet shouldn’t be one of them. When it comes to golf footwear, quality counts.
