The Most Comfortable Golf Shoes To Walk Out Your Rounds In 2024

Ecco Golf makes many of the most reliably comfortable shoes in the sport. For 2024, the LT1 design arrives with a spikeless sole and advanced movement-ready materials. In keeping with its Ecco golf ancestors, the LT1 is a hybrid that’s comfortable immediately out of the box with its patented shock-absorbing foam embedded in the sole that pairs with the company’s Fluidform technology. The designers throw in an optional OrthoLite insole should you need extra cushioning.

On the outside, Ecco uses its performance leather that’s wrapped in a waterproof membrane. Where the shoe’s rubber meets the grass, the brand’s E-DTS Net outsole is new for 2024 and works to provide multi-directional traction and durability. While they’re a bit expensive, the LT1 is a model you can wear on and off the course. We wouldn’t recommend sporting them around town, but they eliminate the need to pack a second pair of shoes that you might normally change into once your round ends.

The Adidas Tech Response SL 3.0 is a go-to choice for budget-conscious golfers seeking comfort and performance on the green. Seamlessly blending plush comfort with the support needed to up your game, the spikeless design provides a grounded feel and the outsole offers excellent flexibility. Meanwhile, the Bounce cushioning provides all-day comfort that'll keep you focused on your swing, and not your feet.

But what really sets these shoes apart is their commitment to sustainability. Made with recycled materials, including at least 50% recycled content in the upper, Adidas’ budget shoe isn't just good for your game—it's good for the planet too. It’s a shoe that enhances comfort, aligns with your values and doesn’t break the bank, ensuring a positive impact on and off the course.

The G/Fore G.112 Kiltie golf shoes aren't just about style—they're also built to perform. A seamless synthetic upper is ready to tackle any weather conditions, ensuring you stay comfortable and focused on the game, stability and traction comes courtesy of their low drop design and meaningful arch support.

With removable kiltie accents, you can switch up your look on the fly, going from classic to something a bit more chic in seconds. The high-rebound EVA midsole and single rubber outsole provide unbeatable stability and mobility, so you can swing with confidence every time. Plus, with a TPU shank for lightweight arch support and heel-to-toe turf traction, you'll experience a smooth and steady motion with every step.

Up until 2024, footwear from True Linkswear leaned heavily into the casual and low-maintenance end of the golf wear spectrum. Their offerings were light, soft and flat—the equivalent of slippers on the golf course. You can still find shoes like that from True, but this year’s OG Tour line is a little more ambitious (while remaining low key and avoiding any pretentiousness).

The OG Tour makes use of a new top grain Napa leather that serves as the upper’s primary material, while the company’s midsole compound provides comfort and support underfoot. As with previous True shoes, there’s zero drop from heel to toe for an experience that better connects you with the ground, and the wide toe box allows your foot to splay with each step. While the leather takes a few rounds to break in, it quickly improves comfort and offers a unique fit. Plus, it’s easy to clean as you come in contact with grass, sand and dirt.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more iconic and instantly recognizable shoe than the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low. Originally released in 1985, the classic style receives a fairway-worthy upgrade by way of a traction pattern underfoot to keep you planted through every swing. Within the heel, Nike’s famous air cushioning offers a bit more support as you walk from one hole to the next, and the shoe’s genuine leather upper gets a bit more flexible with each wear. The more time you spend in these shoes, the more you’ll come to appreciate the comfort they supply.

Of course, it’s worth noting that these aren’t high-performance golf shoes—Nike has a much broader catalogue of golf-ready footwear that contains aggressive styles for the serious player. But because the Air Jordan 1 Low is so memorable, and so important in sneaker culture, it makes for a great golf shoe that transcends the sport, adding style (and a little swagger) to any golfer’s performance.

Oofos is well-known in the business of comfortable recovery shoes—athletic-themed slip-on sandals that offer similar support to traditional athletic footwear that’s intended for post-athletic activity downtime. For the FootJoy x Oofos OOahh Sport Slide, the sandal-maker partnered with FootJoy to create a unique, comfortable footwear option for golfers.

While only fit for the most casual and playful swings with club in hand, the sandals come in handy primarily when play ends. Impact-absorbing foam reduces forces that normally travel through the foot and up the leg, and the sandal’s shape cradles the arch of your foot to more evenly distribute pressure and apply relief. According to FootJoy, the design reduces load rates by up to 88% when compared to traditional footwear, which makes it that much easier to find relief and get back on the course.
