The Best Golf Shoe for Walking

By Steve Silverman

Golf shoes are often the most overlooked piece of equipment in the game. Golfers will invest over $1,000 to buy a set of clubs, but they will continue to wear the same golf shoes year after year. Golfers who tend to walk the golf course and pull or carry their own bag know they have to invest in comfortable and supportive golf shoes if they want to enjoy their round of golf.

ECCO Classic Saddle golf shoes

ECCO is know for its comfort and support. The collar of the shoe is padded for extra support and the leather insole is easily removed and changed after signficant wear. It also has a shock point in the heel that takes the sting out of a long walk on the course.

Adidas Tour 360 golf shoes

The Adidas Tour 360 shoes provide plenty of support to the golfer who walks 18 holes. These shoes provide stability and have a very low center of gravity. That factor helps the golfer's ability to stay in control when trying to hit a long shot.
