Cool weather, cooler kicks: 5 great golf shoes for this fall | Gear

If you played more golf this summer than last year, your shoes probably tell the story. The cushioning in your go-to pair may be a little flatter, the traction is likely worn a little thin, and those once white are now a permanent shade of spotted beige. We have it. Worn golf shoes are a badge of honor. But you’ve also earned a new pair, and with fall golf ahead and new models hitting the shelves, now’s a good time to find your next pair of kicks.

PGA TOUR Superstore The assortment of new shoes offers a little bit of everything now, including spikeless models focused on comfort, a suede take on a casual favorite and a Jason Day collaboration built for serious golf.

5 great golf shoes you should consider:

The new Quantum puts comfort first with SofFOAM cushioning, an engineered lightweight mesh upper and an OrthoLite Impression FitBed that molds to your foot. There’s also a waterproof inner membrane that adds protection for rough mornings, while the padded collar and TruFit tongue help keep things comfortable around the ankle and instep. Below, the spikeless traction model is designed to handle the rotational and lateral forces of the swing.

1 thing we really like: The new Vantage shape is designed to hold the heel securely while allowing full toe spread. This is a welcome feature in a category of shoes that have a very cutting edge design.
