FootJoy Men’s HyperFlex

 

 

 


The first feature to grab your attention will likely be the unique mesh design, which is made with “Hot Melt” yarns for enhanced structure and support. This eye-catching upper is engineered to provide lightweight, breathable comfort, and it also features a waterproof membrane barrier to keep your feet dry in soggy conditions.


On the bottom of the shoe, the OptiFlex plate serpentines along the entire sole and flexes naturally with your foot. That means more stability on each swing and less fatigue on each step, making the HyperFlex one of the best men’s golf shoes for walking. The Pulsar LP Cleats by Softspikes deliver the turf-gripping traction you need to swing with power and confidence. Looking to fine-tune your footwork even further? Check out the HyperFlex BOA version for an even more precise fit with reduced pressure on top of the foot.

If you prefer a classic look on the course, FootJoy Traditions are for you. Available in styles for both men and women, these shoes feature a full-grain leather upper to provide a sophisticated look and complete waterproof protection.

Nike Men’s Air Zoom Infinity Tour




When four-time major champion Brooks Koepka said that he’d prefer to play golf in a pair of running shoes, Nike took notice. The company worked with Koepka to design a shoe that blends the lightweight, responsive performance of Nike running shoes with the stability and traction needed in a golf shoe. The result was the Air Zoom Infinity Tour.


The latest version features a new traction pattern with piston spikes for improved grip. The three spikes are placed directly under Nike’s famous Zoom Air units to give you extra energy return and comfort. Additionally, a full-length Air Zoom unit is stitched directly to the waterproof Flyknit upper for cushioned support on every step.

PUMA Ignite Fasten8




If you’re a fast swinger in need of extra stability, consider this innovative, spikeless design from PUMA. The shoe’s namesake Fasten8 Fit System features a total of eight internal straps (four on each shoe) that cradle your feet. When you tighten the laces, you’ll also be tightening the straps, which helps provide an incredibly secure, personalized fit. But PUMA didn’t stop there. A lightweight, highly durable saddle wraps around the exterior to keep you from swinging out of your shoes.


When it comes to comfort, these golf shoes feature PUMA’s popular IGNITE foam throughout the midsole to deliver exceptional cushioning and energy return. The breathable mesh upper will help your feet stay cool and fresh throughout each round, complete with waterproof protection to keep you going in rainy conditions.


DICK’S carries the PUMA Fasten8 in both men’s and women’s styles.

FootJoy Pro/SL




Since its debut back in 2016, the Pro/SL has remained one of the most popular shoes in golf. Pros and amateurs alike rave about its superior stability and comfort. The latest Pro/SL outsole features 30% more traction elements while covering 17% more surface area, giving players greater control in all conditions. Up top, premium ChromoSkin leather is designed to offer a soft, lightweight feel and total waterproof protection.


The Pro/SL features two layers of FootJoy’s Fine Tuned Foam (FTF). A firm layer around the perimeter enhances stability, while a softer layer runs the length of your foot to provide serious cushioning.


At DICK’S, you’ll find Pro/SL styles for both men and women.

Nike Men’s Air Max 270 G




Chunking is typically something to avoid on the course, but you might make an exception for these Nike shoes. That’s because the “chunky shoe” look is currently a hot trend in golf, and the Air Max 270 G is one of the most popular styles in this category. This shoe earns its chunky status mostly through its extra-large Air Max bubble in the back, which measures 32mm in height and wraps a generous 270 degrees around the heel (thus the name).


So, what does all of this mean for your game? The sizeable Air Max unit is designed to compress and return to its original shape, providing exceptional energy return. The stylish upper is fully waterproof and easy to clean, while the spikeless outsole is specially designed to grip the turf as you rotate through the swing.

PUMA Men’s PROADAPT DELTA




Do you play frequently in early morning dew or in rainy weather? If so, the PUMA PROADAPT DELTA can help provide the traction you need on slick turf. A total of nine Dual-Density Tornado cleats grip the ground firmly to promote advanced stability in tough conditions. In the heel, PUMA’s popular ADAPT foam provides incredible cushioning and high energy return on each step.


The upper features a molded Comfort Collar to provide a secure, locked-in fit, while premium Atlantis leather encloses the shoe in sleek, waterproof style. The unique ADAPT WRAP tongue surrounds the foot to provide additional support where it’s needed most.

FootJoy Flex XP




The waterproof Flex XP offers the perfect blend of performance and casual style. What separates this shoe from other spikeless styles is FootJoy’s VersaTrax outsole. This revolutionary design features three unique traction zones for optimal grip on or off the course.


The mesh upper provides the lightweight, breathable feel of an athletic sneaker while remaining fully waterproof to keep you dry during rainy rounds. The EVA midsole delivers supportive cushioning with plenty of stability to help you swing with confidence.
