Here at MGS, we know our choice of golf shoes when walking can make or break a good day. Beyond that, blisters and sore feet can put you on the sidelines when you would much rather be on the fairways. These are the top spikeless and spiked golf shoes we have found for walking the course.
Spikeless
ECCO LT1
ECCO LT1
Who Is It For?
-
You value comfort.
The upper and dual-foam cushion make the ECCO LT1 very comfortable.
-
You play in the rain.
The waterproofing on the ECCO LT1 is top-notch. You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything better.
Who Is It Not For?
-
You’ve got super narrow feet.
Like all ECCO shoes, the LT1 is roomier in the toe box, so it’s not suited for someone with a very narrow foot.
Why Buy
Kicking off the list of spikeless walking shoes is the ECCO LT1. This shoe ranked as our overall best spikeless golf shoe for 2024 and this holds true for walking as well. Comfort. Traction. Stability. It has it all in spades.
Skechers Go Golf Max 3

Who Is It For?
-
You value comfort.
The Go Golf Max 3 is very comfortable thanks to the underfoot cushion and arch support.
-
You need great traction.
The Go Golf Max 3 has some of the best spikeless traction we’ve experienced.
Who Is It Not For?
-
You need something super stable.
The Go Golf Max 3 sits a little high and doesn’t have enough torsional support to be considered super stable.
Why Buy
The features and performance the Skechers Go Golf Max 3 brings to the table for the price are crazy. This shoe tops our 2024 spikeless golf shoe list for value and is highly capable with the technology it brings to the table.
PAYNTR X 002 LE

Who Is It For?
-
You value comfort.

-
You need traction.
The PAYNTR X 002 LE has some of the best spikeless traction.
Who Is It Not For?
-
You need extra stability.
Due to its flexible design, the X 002 LE isn’t as stable as some other spikeless golf shoes.
Why Buy
The PAYNTR X 002 LE prioritizes comfort and traction with the tradeoff of stability being slightly lower due to the mobility of the shoe. The quality of the leather and hydrophobic treatment are solid as well.

-
You want great traction.
Despite its fantastic comfort, the Skechers Go Golf Max 2 Rover Slip In falls short in the traction department.
Why Buy
Comfort. The Skechers Go Golf Max 2 is designed around comfort. This shoe won in that category for our 2024 spikeless shoe rankings for good reason.
Spiked
adidas TOUR360
adidas TOUR360 24
Who Is It For?

The TOUR360 24 provides great stability thanks to its rigid TPU sole.
Who Is It Not For?
-
You have a wide foot.
The TOUR360 24 fits a little narrow, especially near the toe.
Why Buy

The PAYNTR X Tour Proto RS is built more like a running shoe in terms of stability – that is to say, it’s more flexible.
Why Buy
Like its spikeless counterpart listed above, the PAYNTR X Tour Proto RS prioritizes comfort, traction and leather quality. This comes at a slight cost to stability as this shoe has more flex than some might like.

Why Buy
When it comes to best walking shoes, comfort is king. The Skechers Go Golf Blade won our 2024 spiked shoe testing for comfort. Speaking of the 2024 testing, it also won the best value as well, making it a formidable contender on this list.

I came here to say Sqairz as well and to say that anyone who says Adidas shoes are comfortable either A) is getting PAID to say that or B) has the most basic / ordinary foot ever. Anyone with ANY kind of a narrow heel / wide forefoot issue going on cannot comfortably wear Adidas, and frankly, other than my wife, who can wear kids’ size shoes, I don’t know of anyone who likes Adidas for walking.
