6 spiked golf shoes for the golfer who just won’t go spikeless
Plenty of tour players are wearing spikeless golf shoes, which should be proof enough that you can get all the traction you need from such offerings. But we understand that there are golfers out there who love the feel of a spiked shoe and won’t go for anything else. Or maybe you like to have a spiked option in your closet for those wet, slippery days. If you’re one of those people, we suggest you take a look at these shoes. You’ll find all the grip you could ever need in a variety of aesthetic options—from the classic leather look to more athletic silhouettes.
For the first time since his junior golf days, Justin Thomas is wearing a new style shoe—and he chose this HyperFlex. It has spikes for plenty of grip. Under the midfoot, there's extra support to prevent any twisting and help keep you stable throughout your swing.
This limited-release yellow ochre shoe is a tour de force with its powerful monochrome, premium spikes and waterproof uppers, all of which will make them the envy of your foursome.
There are six cleats on the outsole of this tour-trusted shoe. You can see the Air Zoom units near the forefoot. The pockets of air in the midsole compress when your weight pushes down on them and then rebound as your foot comes off the ground, creating comfort and some energy return. Two of the cleats are under these air units, allowing you to compress those spikes deeper into the turf for more grip.
Jason Day has been wearing these shoes in 2025. They have a sock-like interior as well as a tongue, to give you a secure, snug fit. A plate in the shoe gives and releases as your foot engages and disengages with the ground. This gives you a little bounceback as you walk as well as the ability to use the ground more during your swing.
There are a lot of classic elements in this shoe, including the leather upper, the saddle-oxford look, the spiked outsole. But one thing that is decidedly not classic is how you can put these on: With Skechers slip-in technology, you can get these shoes on without having to bend over.
