Cole Haan ZeroGrand Overtake Golf Shoe Review
Cole Haan is a brand some may be unfamiliar with, especially when it comes to the best golf shoes on the market. Starting off making exclusively men’s formal footwear, the brand now encompasses sports like running and tennis alongside its comprehensive casual footwear collections. For the last few years though, Cole Haan has been steadily growing its golf shoe output, with the OriginalGrand Tour a traditional, spiked golf shoe similar to some of the brand’s more formal off-course output. On the other end of the spectrum entirely, the new ZeroGrand Overtake is a sporty, lightweight spikeless golf shoe that has taken Cole Haan to the other end of the design spectrum entirely. For me, it’s certainly up there with the best-looking shoes of the year, but how did it actually perform once I took it onto the golf course?

They are featherweight when you take them out of the box and this translates to a very comfortable feeling on foot with extremely little foot fatigue after walking 18 holes. If a lightweight shoe is top of your priority list then I’d look no further than this. To add to the overall comfort is the impressive GrandFoam midsole which is soft and full of cushion, almost like a memory foam mattress. It really hugs the bottom of your foot when you walk which is obviously a lovely sensation – who doesn’t like lots of cushioning underfoot?
You’d think such a lightweight shoe would be a little unstable in some areas, but Cole Haan has added a TPU heel cup (seen on this shoe in bright orange by the heel) to give the shoe some real stability when you need it during the swing. It’s by no means as stable as some performance spikeless golf shoes like the Payntr X-003 F, adidas Codechoas 22, or Puma Ignite Elevate, but then again the ZeroGrand Overtake isn’t billed as a performance shoe.
For me, this is one of the best looking golf shoes out there right now…

Aesthetically, this looks like more of a sneaker than any golf shoe I’ve worn. Yes, there are options like the Under Armour Charged Phantom SL or Ecco Biom C4 that look like sneakers, but in my opinion, there is still traces of golf DNA running through them. That’s not a bad thing of course, but if you’re looking for a golf shoe that barely looks like a golf shoe, this is one of the best styles for that. Certainly, the ZeroGrand Ovetake is the antithesis of a…
