At Golf Monthly we have tested a lot of women’s golf shoes recently, especially spikeless models and one of these is the G/FORE’s 112 Kiltie. I was looking forward to finding out how well it performed against the other shoes in this category and if it would prove to be one of the best women’s spikeless shoes for 2024.
G/FORE is a brand that is renowned for creating modern shoes, apparel and accessories that have a colorful and youthful energy about them, and the G.112 leather shoe exemplifies this beautifully.

I have never seen before a design that features so many different bright colors. There’s a lot going on here with bright pink, blue, yellow, orange laces and a kiltie (that’s removable) in a lighter shade of pink. At the front of the shoe there’s some tiny perforations and a small G/FORE logo, while on the outside of the shoe at the back are a few words about the shoe. I’m not a fan of the spiked rubber wrap on the outside of the shoe and at the back of the slightly raised heel, it makes it look a little clunky.
I must admit, my eyes popped out when I opened the box, but they also really made me smile, and that’s important, whether it’s shoes or apparel, they need to make you feel good. I should add that this model is also available in tamer color options, and you receive two pairs of laces so, I could have replaced the orange with white, but I was ready to make a big impression!

These shoes grew on me when they were on my feet, probably because they felt so comfortable, similar in that regard to Ducal del Cosma’s Alesi and Ecco’s LT1. They are a fairly narrow fit, you might want to size up. I like the way they felt secure around my heel, but more roomy at my toes, no pinching anywhere. I have previously tested another pair of G/FORE shoes – the Perf Dsrpt and I absolutely love this brand’s footbed, it’s a soft foam with a ripple design that acts as a massager. It takes a while to get used to, but it’s brilliant.
This athletic-looking shoe gets a big tick for comfort, and as for performance, I found that the single rubber outsole provided me with the stability and traction I needed, not quite as much as FootJoy’s Pro/SLX spikeless option, but enough, as I felt secure and steady on every shot.

Because of the colorway, you cannot help but make a fashion statement in this shoe and it will suit the personality of many women. It’s very cool and…
