6 women’s golf shoes that look and feel like a sneaker
Historically, golf shoes and sneakers haven’t had a lot in common. But now, we’re seeing crossover between golf shoes and running shoes. Some companies that make running shoes are taking their running-shoe technology and putting it into their golf shoes. And even golf shoe manufacturers who don’t make running shoes know the benefits of thick, responsive midsoles and lightweight, knit uppers, putting those features into their golf shoes.
The result is shoes that provide support and comfort for golfers who walk 18, or even 36. With thicker midsoles, plenty of support, and comfort, these shoes are a great option for golfers who love the feel of their running shoes and want to bring that to the course. And don’t worry, these shoes also have the traction necessary to give you plenty of grip on-course, too.
This shoe leans into the chunky sneaker trend. The thick midsole is a new foam, softer than what FootJoy has used in past shoes. Inside, the footbed molds snug to your foot for a comfortable fit.
Thanks to Taylor Swift and other celebrities, New Balance is back. Several retro styles have been reimagined as golf shoes. Here, you get the 1970s running shoe aesthetic and fit, with golf-specific traction. It might even have you singing “You Belong With Me.”
In collaborating with golf apparel company Greyson, Saucony has brought its running shoe technology to the golf space. This is the second model that the companies have released together. The upper is mesh, so it’s lightweight and breathable. The liner is also breathable, keeping your feet comfortable on hot days.
