Many amateur golfers or those with a golf career tend to ignore the importance of high-quality golf shoes. In fact, even some of the best instructors teaching golf neglect to mention how important golf shoes are to your overall performance on the course. The fact of the matter is, without decent golf shoes, your game will undoubtedly suffer. So, here are some things to consider when purchasing golf shoes:

• Say “No” to Metal Spikes—Old golf shoes used to have metal spikes on the soles. This is no longer allowed on the majority of courses because the metal spikes tear up the greens. Nowadays, soles are permitted to have soft plastic spikes or subtle treads.
• Think Comfort—Remember, 18 holes is a long day. You want to be comfortable. Make sure you buy comfortable shoes.
• Safe & Secure—Your shoes should fit securely. The whole point of golf shoes is to allow you to take advantage of leg power during a swing.
• Cleats—Lightweight cleats should only be worn on wet, rainy days when the chance of slipping is high.
