G/FORE shoes always make a statement when it comes to style and colour, and the updated G.112 for 2026 is no exception. This spikeless model has been refreshed with a focus on improving your connection to the turf while maintaining a sleek and modern look.
It’s a shoe that manages to be simple yet standout stylish, particularly in the white colourway with that bright pink and green stripe on the side. But the question is: did it perform well enough to be considered one of the best women’s spikeless golf shoes?
I wore these straight out of the box, and there was no reason to fault the comfort, which is on par with the FootJoy Pro/SL. The fit is impressively compact, securing your foot in all the right places, especially at the heel where stability is key. When paired with the comfortable EVA midsole and mesh lining for breathability, my feet still felt completely fresh even after 18 holes.
One thing to note is that the tongue comes up quite high, which might be a factor if you have a high instep. It was absolutely fine for me, but it’s worth considering as it could feel different depending on your foot shape.
I’m also still a big fan of the massaging insole, similar to the one in G/Fore’s MG4+ O2 G/Lock shoe. It’s removable and machine washable, which is a fantastic bonus that helps keep you comfortable and your feet feeling fresh through all 18 holes.
The tech story for 2026 is the updated anti-slip grip outsole, which comes in a vibrant pink and green to match the side stripes. Combined with the low-drop design, it’s clearly built to get you closer to the ground. I can definitely vouch for the grip, as even on some tricky lies, I felt completely stable through every shot.
The G.112 is constructed with a synthetic upper and water-repellent P.U. leather, so it will hold up well against the elements. However, I did have one slight concern, as the fabric around the collar picked up quite a bit of dust after just one round, so this area will probably not be the easiest part of the shoe to keep sparkling clean.

One of the best things about this shoe is the versatility. I chose to wear it without a kiltie, but there's the option to add one to the shoe depending on what look takes your fancy. Whether you want that classic, traditional golf aesthetic or a more modern, streamlined look, the shoe adapts easily. Combined with one of G/Fore’s outfits, it’s a look that works just as well in the clubhouse as it does on the course, and it will definitely be one of my go-to shoes this summer.
