Best Nike Golf Shoes 2024

Nike may not make any golf clubs, bags and balls anymore, but the brand, as you would expect, still continues to make some of the finest golf apparel. This undoubtedly includes a host of best golf shoes in the game and, in our opinion, Nike make some of the best casual golf shoes and best golf sneakers for those who prefer a more street-like style out on course.

Its apparel and footwear is seen on some of the world's best players including Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Tommy Fleetwood. The brand has plenty of styles including many inspired by its legendary street shoes including the Air Max. It has also shown a clear willingness to bring designs and technologies over from other aspects of the business, such as running shoes and basketball shoes. That way Nike continues to remain at the cutting-edge of golf shoe design not just in terms of looks, but in terms of performance. To help you choose which particular models are the right ones for you, here are the best Nike golf shoes on the market, ranging from spiked and spikeless shoes to more traditional and more street-styled silhouettes.

The Quick List

Best Nike Golf Shoes

Top pick

Replacing the Victory Tour 2 shoes, the newer 3 model takes total performance even further, getting 5 stars in our review. Why? Well looks wise Nike improved the aesthetics in several subtle ways - the new Full-grain leather upper has a supple feel and sophisticated look. The swoosh and midsole sections look slightly different and better in my opinion, and overall I think the shoe looks more refined. I also absolutely loved the color I got sent and there are also several other colors to choose from, as well as special edition designs too for events like The Masters. 

Comfort wise these are right up there with the best on the market thanks to the extra padding around the ankle, and the internal strap on the inside of the shoe which actually contours to your feet. Nike also stitched a Zoom Air unit directly to the upper which delivered exceptional feel, and the foam towards the heel felt very cushiony, almost bouncy when walking on the course. 

Grip and stability was also good, and the shoes are 100% waterproof as well. In short, I love this shoe and it covers all the bases to a very high standard. It may come with a pretty punchy price tag, but I really do think it is worth it.

Most comfortable

The Next% 2 is the next generation of golf shoe in the Infinity Tour line and is Brooks Koepka's shoe of choice at the moment and from our testing, it's no surprise that this shoe has also made it onto our lists for best golf shoes for walking and best spiked golf shoes respectively. 

Why you may ask? Well these are arguably the most comfortable golf shoe currently on the market. Straight out of the box, we tested the shoes on a 72 hole event with zero issues. The Air Zoom unit really adds that 'cloud-like' feeling under your foot. The cushioned upper feels excellent and importantly these are al-year round shoes thanks to the waterproofing and 2-year guarantee. 

The sporty look of the shoe will definitely divide opinion, it seems to have split the Golf Monthly team! But our tester loved it, the pops of green as well as the multi-colored sections on the bottom of the shoe really stand out and highlight the impressive technology on the shoe. Finally it has added additional spikes in the forefoot, raising the total of spikes to six, which is two more than the previous Infinity Tour Next%. As a result the traction during testing was outstanding.

Best looking

The Infinity Tour Next% is the choice of many golfers around the professional tours, including four-time major champion, Brooks Koepka.  Having put these to the test on the golf course, we were impressed with how well these shoes fit and how comfortable they were. The design offers a sporty and modern aesthetic that has a profile that is akin to some of the best golf sneakers on the market. The black and white colorway maintains an understated and premium finish that makes it usable on most golf courses, to the point I think these might be some of the best looking golf shoes anywhere. But there are plenty of other options out there including the yellow pair Koepka was wearing at The Masters. 

Taking them out on the course, the comfort was right up there with some of the most comfortable golf shoes on the market. The soft cushioning around the heel really felt nice and even when taking out of the box for the first time the comfort around the foot was excellent. They are very lightweight but this wasn't at the expense of stability because the two spikes on the forefoot and two on the heel deliver exceptional grip, especially when combined with the traction pattern on the outsole. The shoes are also waterproof and deliver excellent ventilation to your feet making them an excellent option to wear on the course in both summer and winter conditions.

Best spikeless

We love this recent trend of popular sneaker designs being made into golf shoes and the Pegasus from Nike is one of our favorites in this category. Our testing showed them to be a worthy addition to this guide because the blend of comfort and retro looks are as close to perfect as you'll find. 

The underfoot cushioning was remarkably soft, while we also enjoyed the hidden Zoom Air unit in the heel which contributes to that springy feeling when walking down the fairway. The heel area does feel slightly higher than other golf shoes so this may take a bit of time to get used to, but this is only a minor point.

The rubber traction delivers superb multi directional grip on all types of terrain and the outsole will maintain a good grip when the ground underfoot is damp. That being said, we wouldn't want to use these shoes in the rain because of the suede elements on the shoe. While synthetic leather overlays  give the shoes full waterproof protection, we would recommend spraying some protector on the suede areas before you start using them.

These are a fantastic summer shoe because in addition to being great for golf, you can wear them off the course too. In fact they are our favorite Nike spikeless golf shoe at the moment.

Most snug fit

The G version differs only slightly to the original Air Max 1 as Nike have added a synthetic upper that is water-resistant, whilst the sole of the shoe has been given an update, with a new traction pattern providing more grip.

Starting with that, in our testing we felt that there was ample traction in good conditions and the shoe performed well in slightly wetter weather. Obviously, these aren't going to rival the best spiked golf shoes and, given their sneaker-design, it's likely that you won't want to wear them in winter, as the '86 OG G is definitely more tailored to summer months.

We would definitely put these amongst the best sneaker golf shoes on the market as we love the subtle details, such as the paint splatter around the length of the sole and the iconic swoosh, which give the Air Max 1 '86 OG G a really premium aesthetic. 

Although the fit is snug, it does have a somewhat locked-in feel, but if it is possible to try the shoes on before buying them we would highly recommend that.

Most versatile

Perhaps one of the best golf sneakers in the game, the Air Max 270 G shoe is a sporty and stylish option that can be worn both on and off the course. It comes in three different colorways with each delivering a clean and crisp aesthetic, that looks great paired up with some of the best golf trousers.

The shoe certainly appeals to a younger audience, but there is no mistaking that it is great for those looking for more comfort too. it does fit fairly snug so you may want to order a size up if you want a non-restrictive fit. It is extremely breathable and offers up plenty of ventilation thanks to the mesh covering around the upper, which is water-resistant and easy to clean. 

Akin to many of the best spikeless golf shoes out there, the Air Max 270 delivers plenty of traction on the turf thanks to the rubber ridges and bumps on the sole of the shoe. We felt pretty stable in damp conditions and that also adds to the versatility of the shoe, which we felt could be worn in almost any situation, from the course to the shops.

Best casual

A high-quality and stylish pair of golf shoes, the Air Jordan Low G Golf Shoes are built from genuine leather to deliver extreme comfort on the course. Their classic look pays tribute to the original Air Jordans, first released in the early 80s. But these have been re-designed for golf and feature encapsulated air in the heel cushions that make every step a joy.

While the outsole has been adjusted to suit added grip on the golf course, it's still incredibly low profile. The adjustments on the outsole include a forefoot pivot circle, which offers extra traction on one of the most vital areas of the foot. We found no problems with grip in dry and damp conditions. That being said we certainly wouldn't wear these shoes in properly wet conditions, but the grip in damp morning conditions was impressive.

While these shoes are designed for use in warmer conditions, they do also come with a 1 year waterproof warranty, which is a great addition as you can never predict when the heavens will open on the course. Ultimately, these shoes exist to look really good on - and off - the golf course with the comfort we had while walking was an added bonus. With that in mind, these are brilliant casual spikeless golf shoes and the color choice is excellent. The Pine Green finish is one of our absolute favorites.

Most lightweight

The Nike Free technology has been used in the Tiger Woods 13 golf shoes and, for 2024, it returns, with the design of the shoe offering complete freedom of movement as well as a natural, flexible feel when wearing and walking. 

Aesthetically, we think the Free Golf NN are a really good-looking pair of golf shoes, as the low profile and reflective details on the toe of the shoe really stand-out. What's more, it is available in a number of colorways, which means there should be a style or look for everyone. (We expect many more colors to come as well). 

Grip-wise, they performed well for a spikeless model, but the main standout was the lightweight comfort, as the NN felt and moved like a running shoe, and didn't require any breaking in at all - they were comfortable straight out of the box. Along with the comfort, it is very well made and also boasts a one-year waterproof warranty.

How we test golf shoes

We test out golf shoes very regularly because each member of the Golf Monthly team plays golf regularly as well. The procedure revolves around using the golf shoes over several rounds and in different conditions to test things like grip, stability, comfort and so on. We always test shoes for waterproofing too which either means playing in the rain, or pouring some water on the shoes if the weather doesn't deliver some dark clouds!

Our ethos is to be as honest and insightful as possible in our reviews and guides so you are more informed. 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

There are a number of factors to consider when picking out your next pair of golf shoes especially if you have wider feet than others. Let's take a look at them.

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.

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.
