This latest group features five exciting new options from FootJoy, Sun Day Red, Nike, Payntr and TRUE Linkswear.

Whether you prefer traditional spikes or the versatility of a spikeless sole, each model brings a distinct combination of performance, comfort and style to the course.
5 new golf shoes available now:
FootJoy has redesigned their popular Pro/SL and it’s better than ever. The new Z-TEC upper is engineered to provide flexibility where the foot needs to move and added structure where it needs support. Underneath, the ARCTrax/SL sole uses strategically placed traction elements to create tour-level grip without traditional spikes. A firm EVA forefoot and nylon spring plate add stability and energy return, while a StratoFOAM heel pad, padded ankle collar and OrthoLite FitBed help keep the shoe comfortable while walking. It’s also backed by a two-year waterproof warranty.
1 thing we really like: The wider, rounder box gives the toes more room to spread in one of the most comfortable golf shoes we’ve seen.

Nike Victory Pro 4
Nike built the Victory Pro 4 around a new Fly Wing support structure that connects the upper and midsole. It creates a firm surface for the golfer to push against during the downswing, helping the foot stay stable as speed increases. A Dynamic Fit system adds adjustable support along both sides of the foot, while the Cushlon foam midsole and inner foam collar provide sneaker comfort. A soft synthetic leather upper offers a consistent shape, and the nine-point sole provides reliable traction when the trail gets wet or the lie becomes uneven.
1 thing we really like: The Fly Wing addresses the lateral forces of the golf swing instead of just adding stiffness throughout the shoe. This is what athletic performance is supposed to look and feel like.

Using insights from the greats who go all out, we’ve created an all-new Fly Wing, which helps you push into your downswing for optimal speed and maintain stability through your finish. It is made to help you stay on the platform while going for the green. Details: Soft synthetic leather is soft to the touch and offers a consistent shape. The cushion foam midsole provides just the right level of comfort and stability. Inner foam collar offers sneaker-like comfort.
