Oakley Golf Shoe Reviews

Oakley currently features eight golf shoe makes on its website.
Specs

Oakley currently features eight different kinds of golf shoes, ranging in price from $90 to $130 in 2009, depending on the retail outlet. Certain soft-spiked shoes, such as the Bow Tye Two (approx. $100) are available in a number of colors, while others--including the Wide Bow Tye Two and the Limited Edition Superdrive shoe--are available in one design or color only. Oakley golf shoes feature a waterproof membrane to help keep your feet dry, as well as "Net Shape Stability," which aims to maximize support. Oakley offers 2-year limited waterproof warranty on certain shoes as well.

Perks

The waterproofing (and its accompanying warranty) is a major bonus, as some golf shoes simply don't provide the dryness required of a day on the links, particularly if the course is wet from rain or a fresh sprinkler watering. In addition to performance and comfort, all Oakley golf shoes are quite sleek-looking as well.

Sacrifices

Not much. Oakley could feature more color/style selection in its golf shoes, and the design isn't in the classic mold of other golf shoes, but these are minor quibbles with a fine golf shoe.

Bottom Line

Comfortable, sleek, durable and affordable; Oakley's line of golf shoes are some of the most desirable shoes on the market.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Using Frequency to Test the Flex of Your Shafts
by Jeff Jackson
What's the flex of your shafts? At one time, a golfer could safely answer that his or her shafts were stiff, regular or ladies flex. That simply isn't the case any longer. Most manufacturers have their own method of shaft measurement. What this means is that one company's "R" flex shaft may actually be softer than another's "A" or even "L" flex. How, then, can a golfer select the appropriate shaft if no manufacturing standard exists? In a word: frequency.
