There are few brands quite like adidas when it comes to breadth and depth in its best golf shoe offering. From the new Tour-level Tour360 24 and ZG23, to its ultra-casual Ultraboost golf shoe and bold Codechaos 22 shoe, there really is a golf shoe for every style and performance preference on the golf course. For 2024, the brand has introduced another shoe into its crossover category, aiming to offer golfers a shoe that can be worn from dawn until dusk, on and off the golf course. The new S2G SL (there is also a spiked version available) is based off a running shoe design, which is what gives it its modern, sporty silhouette. The shoe is designed to be worn as much off the golf course as it is on it with the lightweight, responsive feel of a running shoe coupled with some key elements that make it adept on the golf course too.

The version I tested uses a mixture of synthetic materials and a leather upper to create what is a very premium looking and feeling shoe. It’s a much wider fit that adidas’ other golf shoes so they fit very true to size, unlike other adidas shoes where I need to go half a size up. This makes for a very comfortable fit and certainly a more relaxed one that some of the other best spikeless golf shoes I’ve tested this year. Despite this relaxed fit, the shoe still does a solid job at supporting the foot throught the swing. This mixture of materials won’t make it the most breathable spikeless shoe on the market, but that has to be one of the considerations when considering the £90 RRP. It uses adidas’ Lightstrike technology through the midsole, a technology borrowed from its running division and one that has been executed brilliantly in the recent Tour360 24 and ZG23 golf shoes. It once again works very well in the S2G SL, offering plenty of cushioning and energy return that make it very pleasant both to walk in while offering a good sensation as you swing the club.
Style wise I think this hits all the right notes. It certainly borrows heavily from the styles we see in modern running shoes as well as motifs from modern sneakers too, with the angular rear section in particular very on trend right now. It sits right on the line of looking both like a modern golf shoe and a modern sneaker, meaning it’ll look as good with a pair of trousers on the golf course…
