This guide gathers five golf shoes that drew the most attention from GOLF's gear team this year, chosen for standing out in staff reviews and features rather than a single lab test — a mix of spiked and spikeless options for anyone shopping for a golfer this holiday season.

Key takeaways

  • Five shoes stood out in GOLF's staff reviews and features this year: the UA Drive Pro Clone, TRUE Antigravity, Tomo Anthem, FootJoy Premiere Series and Skechers Blade Tour Slip-ins.
  • Wyndham Clark has worn FootJoy's Premiere Series Field shoe for every win of his PGA Tour career.
  • Skechers' Blade Tour Slip-ins were co-designed with Matt Fitzpatrick and use hands-free "Heel Pillow" construction.
  • Under Armour's Drive Pro Clone features a directional spike design that is uncommon among modern cleats.

Which spiked golf shoes made the list?

Under Armour's Drive Pro Clone drew notice for its styling and a directional spike setup that's uncommon among modern cleats. GOLF's Jake Morrow called it "probably the best-looking shoe they've had in the past several years" and said it felt comfortable walking in straight out of the box.

FootJoy's Premiere Series Field shoe takes a different approach, built from hand-selected full-grain leather with an OrthoLite EcoPlush FitBed cushioning system. Wyndham Clark has worn it for every win of his PGA Tour career, despite its dress-shoe look.

What about spikeless options?

TRUE's Antigravity, Tomo's Anthem and Skechers' Blade Tour Slip-ins round out the list. TRUE's Antigravity held up through a month of regular wear and competition rounds in GOLF's testing. Tomo's Anthem is built for walkers who want sneaker-level comfort without changing shoes before or after a round. Skechers' Blade Tour Slip-ins, co-designed with Matt Fitzpatrick, use the brand's "Heel Pillow" construction to let a golfer step into the shoe hands-free while cushioning the Achilles.
