G/FORE G/Drive Twilight Golf Shoes Review

Glance at a cross section of today’s golf shoe market and you’ll notice just how much the styling has moved on in recent times. Perhaps the brand that best epitomises this is G/FORE. Whether you’re looking for something sporty or more traditional, its eye-catching and edgy designs are vying for your attention. It is this combination of stand-out aesthetics and impressive, golf-specific performance that has enabled G/FORE models to be considered among the best golf shoes on the market in 2022.

The G/Drive is a spikeless design that features a cable lacing system. As you can see from the images, this consists of two dials that sit to the side of the tongue. I was impressed by how well they helped pull the top of the shoe down onto my feet for a snug but very comfortable fit. Just as you'd find with the BOA lacing system on some of the best FootJoy golf shoes, the dials were easy to use and I also felt they added to the premium look.

The blue and white ‘Twilight’ version I tested combines a fairly traditional colour combination with some ultra modern flashes, like the large heel area and the trademark G/FORE skull and crossbones branding on the tongue. For me, this worked really well in creating a modern, premium look that could be worn with both trousers and shorts.

Of course, anyone investing in new golf shoes will likely want excellent traction and good waterproof protection too. In this regard, the G/Drive model performed exactly as we’d expect from a premium offering and I’d be confident wearing these in all weather conditions. The success of this sole in particular, makes this one of the best spikeless golf shoes we have tested this year. 

One final thing worth pointing out is, having heard that G/FORE shoes can come up a little snug, I went up half a size from my usual 11. This was a good decision as the pair I tested were very comfortable, straight out of the box.
