A new wave of golf shoes is landing for fall 2026, ranging from cushioned spikeless designs to a suede casual model and a tour pro collaboration. The picks below are grouped by the technology each brand is leading with, from foam cushioning to waterproofing.

FootJoy Quantum

The Quantum uses SofFOAM cushioning, a lightweight engineered-knit upper and an OrthoLite Impression FitBed that molds to the foot. A waterproof inner membrane adds weather protection, and a new Vantage shape is designed to hold the heel securely while allowing a full toe spread.

adidas CODECHAOS 27

The CODECHAOS 27 pairs full-length BOOST cushioning with a new AXISLOCK stability system for underfoot comfort and swing support. A TWISTSKIN upper provides weather protection, and a TWISTGRIP outsole is built to maintain traction across changing lies.

Sun Day Red Osprey Suede

The Osprey Suede takes the brand's existing Osprey platform and adds a premium suede upper in four new colorways, keeping the same sole engineering while giving the shoe a more casual look.

PAYNTR Eighty Seven SC

Developed with Jason Day, the Eighty Seven SC features a CLARINO Trivela microfiber upper, a waterproof breathable membrane, PMXNitro+ cushioning in the footbed and midsole, and a CARBITEX GearFlex propulsion plate designed to help golfers use ground forces during the swing. A TPU outsole uses a Fast Twist spike system for traction.

Puma AP Avant 2.0

Inspired by Arnold Palmer, the AP Avant 2.0 pairs a white leather upper with forest-green detailing and a TPU clip. PROFOAM cushioning and a spikeless rubber outsole are backed by a one-year waterproof warranty.
