Best Adidas Golf Shoes 2026 - Our favorite models tested and reviewed
We take a look at some of the best golf shoes made by adidas Golf, a trendy brand both on and off the course
Conor Keenan
When you hear the name adidas, your mind may not necessarily go to golf straight away as the brand is so widespread throughout sports, but don't under-estimate how big adidas is in the golf word too!
From our testing it is clear they produce some of the best golf shoes on the market and can be seen on the feet of some of the world's top golfers. In our experience, adidas shoes more than stack up against other popular brands like Puma or Ecco, two companies that are often seen out on Tour and in the amateur game. To its credit, adidas is also actively looking to reduce its carbon footprint and you'll find many of its products -including some of the best adidas golf shirts, adidas golf pants and shoes - are made from sustainable materials.
The Quick List
This iteration of the Tour 360 is a gorgeous, high-performance shoe that prioritizes both style and underfoot comfort, cementing its status as the gold standard for the entire series.
A standout spikeless golf shoe for 2025. Combined with an ultra-lightweight build designed to fight off leg fatigue, it’s the perfect choice for the golfer who prefers to walk 18 holes.
The S2G represents one of the best value options on the market, bridging the gap between high-level performance and an accessible price point. They look great both on and off the course, too.
A top-tier spikeless performer that proves you don't need studs to maintain stability, offering a truly versatile, all-weather solution for the serious golfer who wants a bit of a pop from their shoe in terms of looks.
The Adidas Ultraboost takes our top prize for comfort, offering a sneaker-like feel that held up brilliantly over 18 holes. What sets this model apart is its versatility for both on and off-course wear.
If you're looking for one of the best-performing shoes on the market, the Tour 360 is a standout for both men and women. It ticks every box - comfort, stability, and effortless style, but we recommend going one size up.
Best Adidas Golf Shoes 2026
Top pick
As far as we are concerned, there are only two golf shoe franchises that are truly iconic. There's the FootJoy Pro/SL and the adidas Tour360. The flagship performance golf shoe from adidas has gone by its 20th anniversary, which is a remarkable show of longevity. Whenever adidas revamp this iconic shoe our expectations are high and the 2024 offering didn't disappoint.
The 2024 model had a complete redesign from the inside out, as adidas introduced new technology into the familiar, well loved silhouette. The looks are pleasingly familiar but a lot has changed from the excellent Tour360 22. On the 22 version the spikes were moulded into the outsole to offer more grip, but they weren't replaceable. Additionally, the materials used in the heel area also needed some tweaking in our view. These issues have been addressed for 2024 and this shoe is definitely one of the best spiked golf shoes in its class this year.
It is significantly softer than the previous shoe and in testing we could immediately feel the difference. The new 'T-Shape' suede microfiber heel is a three-piece construction combining a soft, anti abrasive sandwiched textile, running from the inside heel to the top of the collar. This offers improved comfort and also adds to the durability.
Additionally, we could instantly feel more arch and heel support due to the reshaped insole, which added to the levels on comfort when combined with the rest of the shoe. All in all, this one of the most comfortable shoes we've tested.

Most lightweight
Perhaps one of the most comfortable golf shoes in the game right now, is the Adidas Adizero ZG. It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Adizero moniker in golf as the name is more famous for the brand’s groundbreaking lightweight running shoes, which were first introduced in 2004. We saw the Adizero for the first time in golf in 2013 but it was a brief and inauspicious run. The 2025 model is highly impressive though.
The new outsole is superb and matches the grip and security you get from a conventional spiked shoe almost identically. We would never say a spikeless shoe can offer more grip than a spiked shoe, but this isn’t far off. The aggressive lugs on the perimeter of the outsole do most of the heavy lifting in terms of lateral grip and our testing showed that this is a shoe that provides ample grip in all possible conditions.
Wearing a lightweight yet powerful shoe on your foot certainly helps when walking 18 holes, and the Adizero fits the bill as although they are lightweight, they still feel solid and premium. The materials are soft to the touch and the moulded heel cushion (inspired by the running shoe) provides targeted padding to a key area of comfort. The support is superb too as it locks your foot in place in the right areas while allowing the foot to move through the swing as it is naturally supposed to do.

Best value
Another shoe that comes into the versatile, crossover category is the S2G SL, which offers golfers a shoe that can be worn from dawn until dusk, on and off the golf course. Much like the Ultraboost above, the new S2G SL (there is also a spiked version available) is also based off a running shoe design, giving it a modern, sporty silhouette.
It was engineered for on-and-off-course versatility, and our testing confirms it delivers on both fronts with ease. This is a genuinely cool, understated shoe that looks just as natural at the pub as it does on the 18th green. Plus, with an great range of colorways available, there’s a version to suit every golfer’s personal palette.
When it comes to comfort, again it ticks every box as it's a much wider fit than most other adidas golf shoes, so it does indeed fit true to size and is one of the best golf shoes for wide feet. Also, adidas have used their Lightstrike technology through the midsole, something which we see in some of the spiked models in this list too. The final point we must make is the cost easily falls into the best budget golf shoes category.

Most eye-catching
One of the most noticeable differences on the new Codechaos is the outsole. On the 2022 version, which was a big favorite among our writers, the outsole actually bled onto the sides of the shoe, providing a eye-catching look as well as the benefit of extra grip on the instep of the shoe. Unfortunately that's gone in the 2025 version, with the silhouette returning to what we might consider a more conventional looking shoe.
The evolution of the Codechaos is most evident in its redesigned outsole, where the traction lugs have been strategically reconfigured across a significantly larger surface area. You can truly feel this engineering at work from the moment you take your first swing. It delivers a level of grounded confidence that used to be reserved for traditional spiked shoes, performing flawlessly across all turf conditions we tested it on. Plus, the signature neon green and pink accents add that flair that not all of adidas' golf shoe collection has, ensuring the shoe looks every bit as bold as the technology inside it.
In terms of comfort, the feeling underfoot through the insole and midsole is firmer than some other spikeless shoes we've tested this year, but the Codechaos franchise continues to be a remarkably comfortable golf shoe despite the relative lack of softness underfoot. Much like the shoe it is replacing, the support it provides laterally as well as the Boost cushioning is still comfortable making it one of the best golf shoes for walking.

Most comfortable
Our choice for the most comfortable adidas shoe - a difficult decision given the stiff competition - is the Ultraboost, which looks almost identical to the Ultraboost running shoe, which should go down well with admirers of the original sneakers. The materials are very similar too, with a Primeknit mesh upper - which is breathable and water resistant - combined with the sock-like material around the tongue of the shoe. There is plenty of padding around the ankle and there have also been some reinforcements around the toe area, which is helpful during the follow through.
The comfort from this shoe is off the charts, as it's very sneaker-like and you are getting something very similar to running shoe comfort. We found the breathability to be excellent too, as the mesh upper gave us a supreme sense of comfort when we tested out on the course. This does mean, however, that the shoes are only water-resistant and not fully waterproof, so it's more of a summer shoe.
The Ultraboost is not pretending to be something it's not and we really like that. It’s not a shoe to play your 36-hole club championships in, but it is perfect for a casual round on a nice summer evening. As they look so much like a sneaker you can wear them away from the course too, as they blend into pretty much any environment. Alongside the Cole Haan ZeroGrand Overtake, True Linkswear FS-01 and Air Jordan 1 Low G, they are the most versatile golf shoes we’ve ever worn.

Best women's
adidas Tour360 24 Women's Golf Shoe
As stated above, the men's Tour360 shoe is truly outstanding, but we have also tested the women's version too and can report that the performance is exactly as you would expect - excellent. The women's Tour360 is available in two colorways - cloud white/silver metallic or white/core black/green spark. We tested the latter and while we found it's aesthetic was distinctive from other women's shoes such as the Duca del Cosma’s Alesi, or Puma’s Fusion Crush Sport, we are definitely fans of the modern, cutting-edge design.
In terms of the technology, it's very much the same as you find in all of the best adidas shoes. The Torsion Bridge improves stability and the cushioning is top notch thanks to the Lightstrike and Jet Boost technology, making these undoubtedly one of the most comfortable golf shoes for women.
We were blown away by how secure they felt after our first 18 holes of testing. Whether you're dealing with a side-hill lie or a damp fairway, the 'locked-in' fit ensures you never lose your footing. It’s the kind of reliability that makes them perfect for all-year use. Overall, this is a top-tier, high-performance shoe that we highly recommend for any woman who prioritises her on-course comfort and stability.
How we test
We take all product testing very seriously at Golf Monthly and our golf shoe testing methodology revolves around putting models to the test over a number of rounds as well as in different conditions. This is to ensure that we can give the best possible feedback to you on things like grip, comfort, stability, how the shoes actually look in real life, as well as other factors.
Our reviews and recommendations are built on a foundation of authentic, hands-on experience. Every shoe featured in this guide has been personally put through its paces by a member of our expert testing team. We believe that true performance can only be measured on the course, which is why we test each model over several weeks in real world conditions. By subjecting these shoes to shifting weather, varied ground conditions, and the awkward lies and stances you face during a round, we ensure our reviews reflect how they actually perform when your game is on the line.
Our testing process allows us to uncover the nuances, like whether a brand's sizing runs large or small, which designs start to rub after 36 holes and which stay comfortable over the long term. While we regularly collaborate with R&D experts at global product launches to understand the latest tech, our loyalty remains with the reader and always will. You can’t buy a good review from Golf Monthly - our assessments are written by golfers, for golfers, and we pride ourselves on delivering verdicts free from bias so you can make the best informed buying decisions possible in a sport that is only becoming more and more expensive.
How to choose golf shoes
Spiked or spikeless?
adidas makes some of the best spiked golf shoes as well as some of the best spikeless golf shoes on the market, and there are pros and cons to each.
While spiked golf shoes remain the gold standard for maximum grip and stability, they typically feature a slightly higher profile than spikeless shoes. This extra grip makes them the superior choice for winter golf or damp morning rounds.
However, modern spikeless technology has narrowed the gap significantly, with many current models offering traction that rivals a traditional shoe. Because spikeless shoes are lighter and sit lower to the ground, they provide a more sneaker-like feel and unmatched versatility; you can comfortably drive to the course, play 18 holes, and head straight to the clubhouse without ever needing a shoe change. Today, many top manufacturers even offer their flagship models in both configurations to suit every player's preference.
Getting the right fit
Finding the perfect fit is non-negotiable when you consider that a standard round requires over four hours of walking. A shoe that is even slightly off can cause blisters and fatigue. When testing a new pair, perform a walking and swing test; your foot should feel locked in at the midfoot and heel, with roughly half an inch of room in the toe box for natural swelling. Finally, consider your closure system - while traditional laces offer classic customization, BOA systems provide a more consistent, micro-adjustable fit that won't loosen during your round, making them a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize convenience.
Waterproofing
To ensure your on-course experience remains professional and comfortable, prioritize shoes with a fully guaranteed waterproof. Steer clear of models labeled merely 'water-resistant' if you play in regions prone to rain like us here in the UK, as these are typically only treated with a surface coating that can't withstand sustained moisture. If your budget allows, investing in a high-performance winter model alongside a 'sneaker-style' summer shoe, like the adidas Ultraboost, ensures you’re perfectly equipped regardless of the forecast.
Styling
From the retro-inspired MC80 to the athletic look of the Tour 360, adidas has successfully bridged the gap between heritage and high-performance. While purists will love the timeless lines of their more formal models, those seeking a casual look will be attracted to the S2G, one of the best value for money shoes you can buy on the market. Find out what sort of angle you want in terms of your footwear fashion, then apply what you value in terms of shoe performance and go from there.
