Perfect golf shoes for summer
We love the warmth and pleasant sunlight during the summer months, but when we’re moving around on the golf course for hours on end it can be a battle to stay cool.
Golf clothing is specifically designed to keep you feeling flexible and free from sweat and odour however, and summer golf shoes are crafted with the same intention. You wouldn’t stomp about in wellies in the height of summer, so why not give your winter shoes a rest and find a pair more suited to the current climate?
The nature of summer golf shoes
Clothing in general is looser and more comforting in the warmer summer conditions, from wearing a swimsuit at the beach to slipping on a pair of sandals at a family barbecue.
Summer golf shoes are similarly lighter and easier to wear in the warmth of the season. Crafted from more breathable materials like mesh and synthetic leather, these shoes keep your toes well-circulated and feeling fresh with every step you take.
Lightweight shoes also help your energy-return to keep you going for longer. The internal cushioning hugs your feet and offers both comfort and protection whether you’re walking with pace or focusing on your next shot.
Another key component that makes these shoes perfect for activity on the golf course is the strategically-designed sole. Typically spikeless, these summer golf shoes have moulded plastic studs on the bottom that give you plenty of grip when the course is firmer in the summer.
Modern brands like Under Armour make their shoes to be as familiar and trainer-like as possible while still being built-to-purpose for golf. You can play golf and still live your day-to-day life running errands in your comfortable summer golf shoes. Here’s a few examples of some of the great Under Armour golf shoes you can expect to find in the pro shop.
