Golf Shoes

Golf shoes should merit the same consideration as others areas of your golfing game because if your shoes do not fit your feet properly than all aspects of your game may suffer as a result.

Consideration must be given to the look, feel, fit, durability and quality of golf shoes, but, having acquired the perfect golf shoes a golfer should, then, do their upmost to preserve and extend the life of their purchase:

Always tighten spikes before commencement of play.
Always place golf shoes on a shoe tree whilst not in use. A shoe tree allows the shoes to dry naturally and helps them to maintain their shape.
Remove shoes from car boot, golf bag, etc, when not in use; instead place in a well ventilated area away from artificial heat sources. Leaving shoes in an unventilated location can cause them to become brittle.
Remove moisture from shoes with a towel and lean shoes toe down against a wall to dry naturally. For drenched golf footwear; scrunched up newspapers packed into the shoes will removed excess moisture.
Remove dried mud and grass, from spikes, with a stiff brush.
Remove dirt from leather or synthetic golf shoes with a mild detergent (soap) and water or with a specialist cleaning product after every round.
Check cleats and spikes are tight and well seated into their respective receptacles.
Use shoe polish to condition golf shoes and remove scuff marks.
Buff shoes with clean dry cloth to promote a shine and to work polish further into the grain (leather shoes)

Using a shoe horn to put on golf shoes prevents damage to the heel area of golf shoes. Failing to utilise a shoe horn could cause heel distortion and a golfer’s, once, well fitted shoe heel could cause discomfort and blisters.

Buying two pairs of golf shoes may prove to be a sensible option for golfers that play on a regular basis because this allows the golf shoes (true for regular footwear also) to dry out properly and can extend the life of your golf shoes by three times the length of only one pair. Thus saving money in the long term and that, surely, makes it a sound investment.
