On Course Comfort: The Golf Shoes MyGolfSpy Staff ACTUALLY Plays 18 In

When it comes to golf footwear, we don’t just test shoes, we play in them. Some don’t last more than a round and others are our go-to selections even after the testing is complete. If you are wondering which ones are favored by the team at MyGolfSpy, here’s a list and some of the benefits of each of these shoes.

adidas TOUR360 24

The adidas TOUR360 24 features a premium leather upper paired with BOOST cushioning. It’s a strong mix of comfort and stability. The TOUR360 24 has a seven-spike outsole that ensures reliable traction, even in wet conditions. It was the best overall spiked golf shoe of 2024 and 2025. Needless to say, that’s a well-earned reputation and that’s why it’s on the feet of several MyGolfSpy staffers.

PAYNTR X Tour Proto RS

Designed with a premium leather upper and PMX foam midsole, the PAYNTR X Tour Proto RS offers a comfortable fit with excellent traction. It was the runner-up in the 2024 Best Spiked Golf Shoe test. Testers liked its comfort and grip even though it wasn’t the most stable of the spiked shoes.

Under Armour Drive Pro

The Under Armour Drive Pro features a dual-foam midsole and S3 stability system. It was the Editors’ Choice in the 2024 Best Spiked Golf Shoe test. What testers loved most about the Drive Pro is that its design allows higher swing speeds stability without compromising comfort.

FootJoy Premiere Field LX

The FootJoy Premiere Field LX offers classic styling with modern performance features. If you see PGA Tour players wearing FootJoys, there’s a good chance it could be the Premiere series. The FootJoy Premiere shoe was one of the best options for traction in 2025 but some golfers find it a little stiff.

adidas ZG25 BOA

The adidas ZG25 BOA is a lightweight, spikeless golf shoe featuring a BOA System for a customizable fit. Its design works well for players who prefer walking.

Women’s FootJoy Fuel BOA

Another BOA fit shoe. The FootJoy Fuel BOA combines athletic styling with the convenience of the BOA Fit System. It’s designed for golfers seeking a sporty look with reliable performance. For everyday play, the FootJoy Fuel BOA holds up quite well, especially considering the price.

G/FORE Gallivanter

The G/FORE Gallivanter merges classic golf shoe aesthetics with modern comfort technologies. It features a waterproof leather upper and cushioned footbed.

NIKE Victory Pro 4

The NIKE Victory Pro 4 is designed for golfers seeking a balance between performance and comfort. It features a full-length Cushlon midsole for responsive cushioning and a nine-spike outsole for traction. While we haven’t tested this one in our full shoe testing, it was quickly identified by our staff as one of the best golf shoes NIKE has made in a long time.

PAYNTR X 005 F

The PAYNTR X 005 F spikeless golf shoe is not a new release but it’s one of the more popular shoes PAYNTR has made. It features a dual-density PMX foam midsole for energy return and a Clarino Trivela microfiber upper for lightweight support. It earned a top-five spot in our 2023 Best Spikeless Golf Shoes test thanks to its comfort and grip.

adidas MC80

The adidas MC80 comes in men’s and women’s sizes. If you want a classic-looking golf shoe in a modern spikeless style, this could be a good one to try. It’s known for comfort thanks to the BOOST cushioning in the heel.

Final thoughts

Now you have a better idea as to which shoes made our personal lists for 2025. They aren’t all new releases and some didn’t win the Most Wanted Testing but for one reason or another, MyGolfSpy staffers are choosing these over other options on the market.

      I’ve been a fan of True Linkswear but sometimes the fit can be a little wide in the heel. Other than that, very comfortable and easy to take care of with decent grip. Does anyone at MGS have any experience with this brand? I’m specifically curious about their “zero drop” options and how they performed.

      Do any of the MGS team walk when they play, which is their choice if so?

      I’m probably 50/50 on walk vs. ride – I wear primarily FJ Premier.

      Didn’t anyone try the Sqairz shoes? I have them and swear they live up to the hype. I have gottnen faster and longer with them, and for an older gentleman like myself, says a lot.

      I agree. I really like my Squairz shoes. Very supportive and comfortable. Bought them towards the end of last season, and I just realized today that I have worn them every single time I have played. And I play a LOT of golf. Got to be 100 rounds. No wear and tear. I’ll definitely buy another pair.
