My Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour Next% 2 golf shoes arrived the day before I was due to play a 72 hole event over a weekend and while I would never normally put new shoes into action for such a lengthy event, these shoes felt so unbelievably comfortable when I first slipped them on I was confident they would be up to the challenge.

I have fairly wide feet and had previously identified Nike golf shoes as being more on the narrow side, causing some issues with rubbing and foot pain. I was delighted to discover this was not the case and while there may be wider fitting shoes on the market, these were perfectly comfortable out on the course.

I felt as though I was already on to a winner with the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour Next% 2 golf shoes as not only would I class them as some of the most comfortable golf shoes, I would say they look outstanding. The colorway I tried is a little bold, I admit, but there is the option of a classic white and black for those looking to be more discreet. I really feel as though the green, blue and pink tinge on these shoes help it stand out, not only highlighting some of the really impressive technical features but also attracting plenty of compliments over the weekend from playing partners and spectators alike. The sporty style may not be to everyone's taste but I honestly felt a little more athletic in these shoes just because of how they look and felt, although this was probably helped by the fact they are worn by one of my favorite players in Brooks Koepka.

While the previous model of this golf shoe was highly rated and deemed one of the best golf shoes on the market, I really feel as though Nike has made some big improvements from a performance standpoint. It has integrated additional spikes in the forefoot, raising the total of spikes to six, which is two more than the previous Infinity Tour Next%. This provided excellent traction while walking and swinging from different lies. 

The Air Zoom unit offers exceptional comfort and a cloud-like feeling under your foot, solidifying its position as some of the best golf shoes for walking. This was enhanced by the cushioned insole and updated midsole foam, which not only provided comfort but good levels of stability when hitting from uneven lies on the course.

The Flyweave material of the upper is comfortable and also offers protection from the elements as you receive a two-year waterproof warranty with these golf shoes. While this may not be as necessary if you’re lucky enough to live in a warmer climate, this is essential for those that experience harsher winters and these shoes really will rival the performance of any of the best winter golf shoes.

This particular pair dealt with 72 holes fresh out of the box admirably and felt as comfortable as though they were designed to run marathons. This is the most complete golf shoe I have worn in a while and so I thoroughly enjoyed wearing them. Retailing at $170/£159, I believe the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour Next% 2 golf shoe offers great value for money and provides you with everything you need out of an all-year round golf shoe.
