Leather Golf
The Importance of Purchasing the Right Golf Shoes
The importance of selecting an appropriate pair of golf shoes has never been so important. Fundamentally, a pair of golf shoes should provide a high degree of comfort in a majority of conditions – in the United Kingdom the importance of waterproofing cannot be overlooked. Golf shoes must also provide a fair amount of grip and provide a suitable degree of breathability if you are fortunate enough to play overseas.
Historically, golf shoes were fitted with metal spikes – this type of golf shoe is no longer permitted; manufacturer’s today fit soft plastic spikes to shoes to prevent irreversible damage to putting greens. The sudden abundance of high performance drivers in the market has increased the number of players attempting to increase their tee-shot distance – this has lead to a greater number of players ripping into the turf whilst performing faster and harder swings. Player’s may also find the addition of plastic spikes will increase the overall comfort of walking the entire 18-holes.
The soft-plastic spikes fitted to the current generation of golf shoes are designed to penetrate the ground without damaging fairways and greens beyond repair.
Today’s generation of golf shoes exhibit unprecedented levels of waterproofing and breathability thanks to extensive research and development in the past twenty years; the transfer of this technology from outdoor clothing to footwear has allowed a greater abundance of affordable golf shoes to emerge from brands such as Confidence Golf at a fraction of the cost of heavily marked-up high street brands.
If you’re planning to brave the winter conditions this season – especially so in the United Kingdom, consider a darker coloured pair of golf shoes or investin a pair of waterproof, winter golf boots such as the latest range from Forgan of St. Andrews which feature a 12-month waterproof guarantee for ultimate protection against the elements. Confidence Golf is currently offering two pairs of golf shoes for the price of one allowing players to keep one pair for good conditions.
No matter which brand of golf shoes you purchase nothing can compare to the fit, comfort and style. Lesser known brands can offer the same features and level of comfort promised by bigger brands and can be more suitable to beginners and the occasional player. Confidence Leather Golf Shoes for example offer a 12-month waterproof guarantee, are fitted with a highly breathable membrane called Golftex and can be purchased in three colour variations: white/brown, white/black and all-black.
In addition to an extensive range of men’s golf shoes – The Sports HQ can also supply ladies and junior golf shoes from Callaway, Hi-Tec and Stuburt at the lowest online prices. A shoe bag is also recommended to store soiled golf shoes during transportation – a breathable material is typically used to allow maximum moisture ventilation and the build-up of odour smelling bacteria.
