Some golfers brave the rain. Others (some might refer to them as less passionate) avoid it altogether.
If you’re part of that first group and you’re itching to play regardless of the conditions, we have a few golf shoes for you to consider. This information will be especially relevant if you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain.
Each year during our Most Wanted testing, we determine which golf shoes are best suited to weather the elements.
Here’s my list of the top three waterproof golf shoes.
Sun Day Red Presidio
The Sun Day Red Presidio ws chosen “Best Low-Profile” golf shoe by the 2026 spikeless testing pool and features above-average waterproofing.
You’ll notice an upper with different patterns and shapes that help divert water off the shoe. The upper also features water-resistant reinforcements in the form of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) film which helps prevent water from entering the shoe.
Skechers Blade Tour
The Skechers Blade Tour finished tied for the highest grade in terms of waterproofing in our testing, scoring a perfect 15/15. It’s not very often you can tell how waterproof a shoe is from a picture but the image above exemplifies that this is a winner when it comes to battling the elements.
On top of premier waterproofing, the Skechers Blade Tour performed well in every other category and took home the Best Overall honor in this year’s Most Wanted Spiked Golf Shoe testing.
NIKE Victory Pro 4
Would it be a real party if Scottie Scheffler’s NIKE Victory Pro 4 was marked absent?
Absolutely not.
I’m a huge advocate for the NIKE Victory Pro 4 and I’ve spent a fair amount of time with them. At the time, I was living in Utah (which gets a fair amount of moisture) and I was impressed at how well the Victory Pro 4 held up. NIKE has struggled to make a contending golf shoe for quite some time but they finally did it with the Victory Pro 4.
Final thoughts
If you’re still hesitant on which shoe to buy, you can head over to our Most Wanted Buyer’s Guides (linked below). When you get there, look for the “elements” section. This section references how waterproof that particular golf shoe is and will also provide other sections with important data.
The best golf shoes are waterproof and high-performing in our other categories. What categories do we test?
- Elements
- Traction
- Comfort
- Stability
Choosing a golf shoe can be difficult, but we hope to make it easier. Rain or shine, it’s birdie time.
