Golf Shoes for Women FAQs
When it comes to women’s golf shoes, there are two main types to choose from, spiked golf shoes and spikeless golf shoes:
- Spiked golf shoes: Spiked golf shoes can either have plastic or metal spikes. However, plastic spikes are more common due to clubhouses banning metal spikes for the damage they cause to the greens. Spiked women’s golf shoes offer excellent traction and grip, which is great for wet conditions.
- Spikeless golf shoes: While spikeless golf shoes were less common, they’re becoming more popular due to the innovations brands are making to help them compete with the grip and traction offered by spiked golf shoes. Spikeless women’s golf shoes come with an outsole with rubber lugs that increase stability during a golfer’s swing and add traction to prevent slipping.
The type of women’s golf shoe you choose depends on your personal preference. To ensure the shoes you pick remain in good condition, store them in a golf shoe bag and clean them regularly to increase their longevity.
The best women’s golf shoes should be comfortable and supportive. As you search for golf shoes for women, keep the following factors in mind to ensure you find the perfect pair:
- Breathability: Your feet expend a lot of heat, which means your pair of women’s golf shoes should be constructed from breathable materials with adequate airflow and moisture-wicking capabilities like leather.
- Supportive: Your golf shoes should also provide the support you need to get through each round of golf while keeping you stable and planted firmly on the ground during each stroke. You should also wear supportive women’s golf socks to support the foot as you swing.
- Size: The wrong-size shoe can leave painful blisters and calluses that can impact your performance. To find the right-sized shoe, use a shoe fitting guide to find the perfect fit.
- Style: Women’s golf shoes should also be stylish with the ability to match a wide range of outfits. Match your shoes with women’s golf bottoms or sun sleeves for a coordinated and stylish look on the course. The best women’s golf shoes should match your personal style, so shop for various colors and models to match your look on the course.
The features you look for in a pair of ladies’ golf shoes are also similar to what you should look for in other golfing gear, such as women’s golf apparel and women’s golf gloves. The clothes and gear you use should keep you comfortable and supported when out in the green so you can deliver your A-game every time.

Waterproof shoes are an essential asset for any golfer. We understand the importance of staying focused on the game rather than your feet and strive to provide shoes that help you perform at your best. Our collection of women’s golf shoes is waterproof to provide extra protection on damp courses. The closed-toe shoes in our line are entirely waterproof, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even in wet conditions.
Our waterproof women’s golf sneakers provide critical comfort whether you need to stay dry in morning dew or damp conditions from rain. But beyond just comfort, they offer traction and stability on slippery courses to enhance your performance and precision.
In addition, select styles come with our 1-year or 2-year waterproof warranty for peace of mind.
The support and stability of women’s golf shoes during the swing are due to their construction and various design features.
- Design: A golf shoe typically has a broad base compared to regular sneakers, offering increased ground contact and providing better stability during a swing.
- Fit: A snug fit offers better support by holding the foot and ankle in the proper position. The laces also play a role in providing this fit, contributing to the golfer’s overall stability.
- Traction: Golf shoes have traction features like spikes, cleats, or rubber lugs. These components offer superior grip on grass and turf to prevent slipping and sliding during the swing. This can be especially beneficial on uneven or slippery terrain.
- Midsole and insole: The midsoles of women’s golf shoes provide cushioning and shock absorption, while the insole offers additional support. Together, they distribute weight and pressure evenly across the foot to reduce fatigue and improve balance.
- Heel: A firm heel can provide additional support while helping to control motion to provide enhanced stability during the swing.
- Materials: The materials used in the construction of the shoe can also impact its stiffness and flexibility and the golfer’s stability. Leather, in particular, is widely regarded as the most supportive and stability-influencing material in golf shoes.
Our female golf shoes are made from various materials, each offering unique benefits. The construction of our golf shoes involves a carefully curated blend of different materials that enhance comfort and durability. Some of the most common materials we use include:
- Leather: Leather is commonly used for the upper part of the shoe because it offers durability and breathability. Over time, leather shapes to the foot, providing a more customized fit that’s more comfortable while you’re standing on the course. It’s naturally waterproof, making it resistant to various outdoor conditions.
- Synthetic materials: Synthetic materials make some shoe styles more affordable. They’re lightweight and often incorporate additional waterproof technologies to improve comfort, durability, and protection in wet conditions.
- Mesh:Mesh offers superior breathability and is lightweight, ideal for warm weather when good airflow is crucial. However, they offer less waterproofing and durability than other materials.
- Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA): EVA is a foam typically used for the midsoles of women's golf sneakers. It’s lightweight and flexible, providing cushioning that makes shoes more comfortable while absorbing impact and reducing overall strain on the feet.
- Rubber: Rubber is used for the outsoles of women’s golf shoes due to its durability and resistance to wear and tear. It also provides traction and stability.
