Are Golf Shoes Essential to Play Golf?
No, they are not, but I feel more comfortable when I have on my golf shoes. Putting on the shoes gives me a feeling that I am now in golf mode. I don’t play better golf than my friend who does not wear golf shoes, but I feel more like a golfer and that is half the game. One day I may get good enough to think about getting a handicap but that day is far down the road. As for now, I play duffer golf, don’t keep score, enjoy the company and the weather.
As for shoes, most people know, there are shoes for virtually every sport imaginable. There are very few sports that do not have a special shoe that is intended to improve the way you play while wearing them and gold is no exception if you believe the ads. Many of us wonder if it is really necessary to purchase golf shoes in order to play golf well.
If you are a highly skilled player or even tend to play quite often, you may need to invest in a good pair of golf shoes. Typically investing in golf shoes will require you to find a pair of shoes that you are actually thoroughly comfortable wearing. I use a cart when I golf but I do spend a great deal of time walking the course, as sometimes I hit the ball out of bounds or where a cart fear not go. Even if you do use a cart you might be like me and do a lot of walking so you need something that fits comfortably. Something with plenty of cushioning as well as a good fit is essential.
Taking your time to shop around for golf shoes is a very wise idea. There are dozens if not hundreds of different colours so sometimes selecting the best colour that you like can be a bit of a hard decision. In addition, not all shoes are created equally. The shoe that is best for your foot may not be best for someone else. In addition, there are numerous different material styles that you can choose from, specifically those that are hard materials or even soft materials.
Choosing the right shoes to play in will ensure that you are comfortable, as well as have the traction that you need while playing. If you are playing a lot of golf, you will quickly see how a good pair of golf shoes can do wonders to help improve your comfort level. My shoes improve my comfort level but have not yet improved my game. I have never discounted the ability of a pair of shoes to dramatically increase my overall performance during a game but to date, it has not happened, maybe next time. Taking the time to really try on several pairs of shoes will ensure your final selection is durable as well as comfortable in a style that you like and enjoy wearing and you will feel like a golfer and you may even play like one. A goal I am still striving for and one day…..
