It’s incredible to think that the adidas Tour 360 franchise is approaching its 20th anniversary, which is a real testament to the longevity and popularity of this fantastic adidas golf shoe.
In all honesty, I have not previously reviewed an adidas Tour360 golf shoe, so this was my chance to find out if this latest version, which has been completely redesigned, would live up to my expectations as one of the best women’s golf shoes on the market.

The Tour 360 24 is available in two colorways for women – cloud white/silver metallic or white/core black/green spark.

I must admit, over 18 holes I felt completely locked in and especially on slightly slippery surfaces, knowing that I was fully supported and stable, this shoe gave me the confidence to still exert the same level of power into my shots, without feeling at all tentative.
The outsole has a glossy finish and it does a great job of gripping the turf even in wet conditions, making these one of the best waterproof golf shoes for women.
