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 looking
As Cole Haan are one of the lesser-known brands in the market, we've had many playing partners asking us what these shoes are when we've been wearing them out on the course. That's how visually stunning these shoes are, and if you're the type of player who likes to wear golf gear that's a little less well known. These are perhaps some of the best golf sneakers in the game, simply for their versatility and stunning aesthetics. We felt really comfortable wearing these both on and off the golf course and they also kept our feet both warm and dry on the golf course thanks to their 100 percent waterproof outer.
Equally, having tested these shoes out on the golf course, we think they are one of the best spikeless golf shoes in the game, offering up ample traction and support on wet ground, thanks to the many rubber lugs that line this shoe's sole. We also really loved how comfortable they were to wear with the padded and thick sole being a great addition and support to your feet during a long day on the golf course. The GrandPro AM comes in three color options and I had it in the white, with the lovely yellow detailing and sole. The all-black also looks superb.

Best unique design
A golf shoe that oozes class and comfort, the G/FORE G.112 shoes are a versatile addition to this list that we think you'll really enjoy wearing both on and off the golf course. Similar to many of the best G/FORE golf shoes, they come with an innovative design that delivers a premium aesthetic thanks to high quality leather upper. That twins nicely with the raised and supportive midsole, to deliver a look and profile that we really enjoyed.
The highlight of this shoe was the comfort it offered, which is up there with many of the best golf shoes in the game. The padded interior wrapped around our feet nicely during our testing sessions, delivering bags of comfort while also mitigating the chance of the G.112'S rubbing your heels and causing a blister. The insoles come with the raised nubs that we've come to know and love in G/FORE golf shoes, and while they might feel a bit odd at first, they work very well to massage your feet during your round.
The grip on the G.112s was also good too. The traction offered by the spiked rubber sole worked really nicely in both dry and wet conditions. While we'd perhaps steer clear of wearing these on a really wet day on the course, opting instead for one of the best waterproof golf shoes, if you do find yourself caught in a downpour, you'll be reassured in the knowledge that these shoes are 100 percent waterproof too!

Best value
While Under Armour refers to themselves as ‘The golf brand for athletes’ it’s no surprise that the brand has created this outstanding crossover shoe. What we mean here, is in testing we noticed we could easily use this shoe at home, to the gym, walk 18 holes, have a drink in the bar and stop to pick up groceries on the way home.
We enjoyed the sleek athletic style, with the upper really offering breathability and comfort all day. The Storm Flat Knit Collar around the ankle provides a locked-in feel while also being extremely comfortable.
We felt very stable even when swinging hard in the Charged Phantom SL however we should say that whilst the shoe performed really well in dry to damp conditions, we would recommend a spiked model if you play more golf in wetter conditions. Finally style wise we enjoyed the blue color we tested above, but there are three other colors to choose from as well, each of which really look great.
