Outsole isn't class-leading

I was a big fan os the previous Ecco Biom C4 so was excited to see if the new version, the C5, could improve on it. I am pleased to say that there are a lot of similar performance characteristics in what I would say is a more refined aesthetic package.

Overall I think it blends a balance of softness and stability nicely here - you’re getting the firmness you need when swinging the club with the underfoot comfort for when you’re walking between shots. This support was especially noticeable towards the heel as well. From a fit perspective, as usual with Ecco, this is a must-try option for those with wide feet. The overall shape is better suited to wider footed people whilst you can also remove the insole to offer extra-width as well which is a design feature we always talk about.

Again Ecco have struck the right balance between a traditional looking shoes and something more sporty. As for the tech, it utilises Gore-Tex Surround, which means it’s both waterproof and breathable. You also get Ecco’s exhaust grid scoops, which are holes that sit between the mid and outsole, which effectively move fresh air to the underside of your foot. Combined you're getting class-leading breathability for a waterproof shoe.

The final two points to mention is the outsole won't offer as much grip as other spikeless shoes in my opinion and the C5 does come in at the top end of the price spectrum, but overall if you need a shoe for wider feet, it is well worth considering.

Not as breathable as some other spikeless golf shoes

The spikeless iteration of Under Armour’s latest Clone line stands out as a one of the signature golf shoes of 2026, largely thanks to its highly adaptive upper material and slick, improved aesthetic. This fabric dynamically contours to unique foot shapes, delivering a snug, glove-like fit that completely eliminates pinching while balancing flexibility with structural support for those with all sizes of feet, be that flat or wide. As mentioned, the Clone Pro receives a major cosmetic upgrade over the previous Drive Pro model, boasting a much more refined aesthetic complete with textured finishes and sophisticated design details.

On the course, performance remains elite because Under Armour carried over its proven 2024 outsole design, which smartly pairs rubber nubs with strategically placed TPU for excellent lateral stability and turf penetration. While the robust construction does limit breathability when temperatures spike, the shoe's overall stability and out-of-the-box comfort make it a highly versatile option. Our only critique is the minor trade-off in airflow, but the shoe remains one of the best released this year and a great option for those with wide feet.

Quite a narrow fit

The MG4+ O2 shoes are the spikeless version of the impressive MG4+ shoes that we were gave a glowing review to earlier this year, so it may not come as a surprise that the spikeless iteration also got a very positive review!

Released in September, Conor Keenan wrote in his review that they "set the standard for comfort" on the golf course, mainly thanks to the signature massaging insole we've become accustomed with with the best G/FORE shoes. For those with wider feet, we'd recommend going one size up as they're a little tighter than most shoes we've tested, but once you find the right size for yourself these will likely become a pair of golf shoes you will wear every round of the year, no matter the weather or conditions under foot.

The walking experience is enhanced by the Performance Mesh Lining inside the shoe that adds breathability and combines wonderfully with the Moulded External Heel Counter that keeps your heel where it needs to be during the golf swing. Full waterproofing is another big tick in the positives column and hanks to the T.P.U sole and what G/FORE call their 'Heel-to-toe Sawtooth Traction', we experienced flawless grip despite wet conditions under foot during the first round of testing.

There are softer underfoot shoes on the market

The FootJoy Packard stands as one of the most luxurious golf shoes available and is easily one of the prettiest golf shoes money can buy, complimenting a classic silhouette with high-end leather craftsmanship. Its sophisticated aesthetic is defined by the little details, most notably a nubuck leather center panel with striking bison texturing and elegant accents around the toe. These refined touches ensure the shoe will catch the eye on the course but not in an attention-seeking way, offering a polished, head-turning look that is bound to earn compliments on the first tee. These shoes are also available in both regular and wide fits, perfect for those who have trouble with skinny shoes.

On the performance side, the Packard is just as functional as it is fashionable, offering a stable and secure foundation throughout the golf swing. While it delivers a slightly firmer underfoot feel than modern athletic models, it maintains superb comfort levels for those with wide feet that keep your feet feeling great over a full round of walking. Furthermore, the advanced outsole is engineered for exceptional multi-directional traction, easily conquering damp turf and uneven lies. For the golfer who covets a traditional, brogue-style aesthetic, this Premiere Series firmly remains the undisputed gold standard.

Not that much cheaper than the fully kitted out Eighty Seven SC

As much as I try, I really struggle to find something worth critiquing on Payntr's Reserve Classic Tour RS shoes. It wraps the foot in a high-grade Clarino Trivela microfiber upper that feels incredibly soft, remains adequately breathable, and offers complete waterproof protection. Underfoot, by swapping the expensive carbon-fiber plate found in Payntr’s flagship Eighty Seven SC model for a specialized PMX Speed Plate, these shoes deliver excellent energy return and high-end materials at a more accessible price point without sacrificing any comfort or support.

In terms of performance, this model stands out as a premier contender thanks to a seven-spike TPU outsole that delivers superb grip and an excellent, low-to-the-ground feel. Ultimately, without sacrificing a shred of the comfort or stability that we need as golfers, this impressive release firmly cements Payntr's reputation for engineering stellar golf footwear.

Well-priced option

More support around the ball of the foot section would be welcomed

The New Balance 997 SL further proves the common myth that adopting one of the best golf sneakers means compromising on-course performance is just that - a myth. Equipped with an Ndurance rubber outsole and strategically positioned nubs, this shoe delivers remarkably secure grip and rock-solid stability throughout the entire golf swing. It proves that you can absolutely enjoy a relaxed, modern aesthetic without losing the foundational grip required on the golf course to perform your best.

During testing, the levels of comfort shone through particularly due to the plush padding around the ankle and heel that ensures a securely locked-in feel while walking and swinging. This supportive design completely prevents painful rubbing or blisters right out of the box. Adding to its massive appeal is a highly accessible $100 price tag, making it a very budget-friendly option. Just keep in mind that the fit trends a bit snug, so for those with wider feet we highly recommend ordering at least a half-size larger than your standard fit to ensure complete comfort.

Skechers Go Golf Blade Tour Slip-In Golf Shoe Review

Too much writing on the shoe

Skechers' latest slip-in shoe stands out as an exceptional all-rounder that combines the brand’s signature comfort with top-tier on-course performance. As mentioned, the star of the show is the hands-free Slip-In technology, which relies on a rigid rear framework so you can slide your foot right in without collapsing the heel. This firmness is countered by an high quality, plush internal Heel Pillow, securing a locked-in fit that completely eliminates painful rubbing or blisters. Your feet are given plenty of room to breath and move, but there is enough tightness to ensure these shoes aren't flopping around as you walk and causing comfort issues.

The only real compromise comes in the styling department, as the shoe remains a bit aesthetically challenged compared to its sleeker competitors, largely due to a clean silhouette being cluttered by excessive branding. Nevertheless, the on-course performance is so stellar during testing that it makes any fashion shortcomings incredibly easy to forgive. For golfers prioritizing function over fashion, it easily ranks as one of the best performing and highest-value options available this year and one of the best Skechers golf shoes to date.

Not as breathable as some

Adidas offer an array of golf shoes and, in the case of the S2G SL, it may be their most versatile option yet. To begin with, it features in both a spiked and spikeless model and is based off a running shoe design, which is what gives it its modern, sporty silhouette.

It's priced at under $100, meaning it's up there with the best budget golf shoes on the market and, thanks to a mixture of synthetic materials and a leather upper, the premium feel is a definite highlight. What's more, it has a much wider style than other adidas golf shoes, with the true to size fit meaning you don't need to go half a size up. As a result the shoes were comfortable and the Lightstrike technology offered plenty of cushioning, so they were a pleasure to walk in, and there is a wide version available too.

From a looks perspective we are big fans as well, it sits right on the line of looking both like a modern golf shoe and a modern sneaker, further adding to its versatility. The outsole was solid in our testing, indeed it performed better than we expected in wet conditions, and this shoe is waterproof as well which is a must.

FootJoy 2026 Pro/SL Golf Shoe Review

Very firm forefoot cushioning

The iconic FootJoy Pro/SL franchise undergoes its most radical transformation since 2016, trading its traditional luxury leather for a modernized synthetic build. While this dramatic aesthetic shift may upset traditionalists, the shoe's technical qualities remains top-tier, hence their inclusion in this guide. Featuring an innovative 'Z-Tec' upper, the redesign strikes an ideal balance between targeted, reliable stability and the natural flexibility needed to release into your swing with complete confidence.

On-course performance remains the shoe’s greatest asset, highlighted by a spikeless outsole that provides incredible traction even on wet and slippery surfaces. The grip is so secure that it closely mirrors the locked-in feel of a spiked model, though walkers should note it delivers a firmer underfoot sensation, particularly in the forefoot area. Ultimately, while the Pro/SL is a highly supportive shoe that is a great option for those who often find it hard to find the right pair of shoes to compliment any potential issues they have with their feet, be that wider size or flat soles. It remains one of the best Footjoy golf shoes, although golfers who prioritize maximum cushioning above all else may find softer alternatives, like the FootJoy Quantum, more to their taste.

How we test golf shoes

When it comes to testing golf shoes, we put models through a thorough test over a number of rounds and in different weather conditions. You may wonder, why do we do this? Well, it's to gain a much better idea of the overall performance of the product in terms of factors like comfort, grip, stability, waterproofing and how they actually look on the golf course.

It is important to stress that each of the shoes listed above has been personally used by a member of the Golf Monthly team, with our ethos being as honest and insightful as possible in our reviews and guides so you are more informed. Additionally several members of the team have wider feet so this allowed us to see if shoes were actually suitable for those with wider feet.

Specifically the shoe testing is overseen by shoe expert Dan Parker, who has tested countless models and knows how to eloquently pass on golf shoe buying advice, as well as test models properly.

Finally, to learn about the products in great detail, we usually attend product launches and meet with the manufacturer’s R&D experts to understand the new technology. That isn't to say manufacturers can buy a good review though, because we tell it how it is for all golf product reviews, not just golf shoes.

How to choose golf shoes

Measurements

Obviously, you should start by knowing what size your feet are not just in terms of length but width too. Because shoe sizes often vary from brand to brand, you yourself knowing your feet size is invaluable to knowing which models to go for.

It is worth saying here that wearing the wrong size and wrong type of golf shoe can even cause injury so be sure to know which models are better suited to your feet, whether they be wide, flat or whatever the case may be.

Comfort

Once you know the right size to go for, comfort is the next factor to be aware of. If a shoe isn't comfortable, you aren't going to wear it so we recommend trying on different models before you buy.

When you are trying shoes on, listen for a 'whoosh' sound which should indicate air leaving the shoe which usually suggests a good fit. Walk around in the shoes too so you can feel any pinching and whether your feet are moving around inside them. A correctly fitted shoe should so neither of these things.

This is important because if your feet slide around inside, or you get rubbing and blisters, you won't wear them again and they could damage your feet and performance.

Spiked or spikeless?

Next up is to decide between spiked and spikeless. There is a mix of styles above but you should know that they have pros and cons.

Spiked golf shoes offer better grip and stability but don't sit as low to the ground as spikeless models.

Spikeless golf shoes offer off-course versatility but might not offer as much traction. Have a think about which factor is most important to you here.

Waterproofing

If you have large, small, narrow or wide feet, waterproofing is always important. Us golfers are outside all day sometimes and that means the occasional bit of rain is inevitable sometimes and your shoes need to be able to deal with this. Therefore always check if a model is waterproof.

Styling

We are sure you agree the models above show how golf shoe design is so diverse and different at the moment.

Brands not only create traditional, classic-looking shoes, but also modern styles that can be used off the golf course too.

Therefore it is important to think about what your shoes look like and what style suits you. Whatever you like or dislike, there is something for everyone these days.

Budget

Finally be aware of your budget because you can find a good, comfortable golf shoe for your wide feet at every price point.

FAQs

Is it better for golf shoes to be tighter or looser?

This is a personal preference, but we'd having them as tight as possible without being uncomfortable is the best fit. You want to tightness to be there so your foot is locked in place during the golf swing. But, obviously, you don't want it to be so tight it's uncomfortable. Finding the balance between these two factors is the key to finding the right golf shoe.

How do I make golf shoes wider?

Buying a leather pair of golf shoes will mean they will stretch over time and provide you more room. If you have wide feet, avoid plastic, synthetic or knit golf shoes as these won't give an extra room over time.

Are BOA golf shoes better?

The answer here really depends on your preferences. BOA golf shoes will be better for those who can't bend down as easily or have a bad back because they tighten and loosen so easily. They can also help spread pressure better around the foot too.

Traditionalists will prefer lace-up shoes instead and there is an aesthetic consideration here as well. Many golfers don't like the look of BOA shoes whereas others don't care because the lacing system makes their life easier. In short, have a think about what you value in your golf shoe and then pick accordingly.
