Puma Swing GTX Golf Shoes

By Chad Buleen

Puma Swing GTX Golf Shoes
Puma Swing GTX Golf Shoes are not shoes for the casual golfer. Thanks to Puma's focus on making efficient spikes, these shoes are effectively able to help golfers dig in and move properly. However, these shoes are not cheap and weekend warriors may not want to pay the hefty price for the shoes.

Features

These shoes feature "Smart Quill" spikes that are made of TPU plastic and should last for at least two years. Puma has designed the spikes on the shoes to face different angles. The angles are effective at making sure you have solid footing on the backswing, follow-through and downswing. The quills on the left and right shoes are designed differently because each foot moves differently during the swing.

Considerations

Because the quills are evenly distributed across the bottom of the shoe and because the shoe has a glass fiber sole plate, the Puma Swing GTX golf shoes are lightweight and easy to walk in.

Effects

These shoes are made of water-resistant leather and Gore-Tex lining that helps keep the shoes dry, even when playing in wet conditions. Even if you play in hot weather and your feet sweat a lot, your shoes should stay dry. The Gore-Tex lining is is under a two-year warranty and the leather is also under warranty for the same time period.

Style

The shoes are designed to have a sporty look. They are low-cut shoes and include lace-up shoelaces. The shoes are white and have a clean, flowing stripe on top of them. The pink sole features the Puma logo. The logo is also found on the instep of the bottom of the shoe.

Warning

Before you fall in love with these shoes, make sure you can afford them. Because professional golfers like Geoff Ogilvy wear these shoes, they are a little more costly than the shoes you might find at a local department store. In most cases, these shoes will cost you around $250. Because the warranties on these shoes are good for only two years, you need to ask yourself if you would be willing to spend $250 on shoes again in a couple of years.
