As we break into summer golf where the ground is firming up and a soft spiked golf shoe’s may seem more suitable, I truly believe the performance of a premium spiked golf shoe is unrivaled. The Ringer 2 golf shoe from TravisMathew is the perfect blend between style and performance and is the footwear choice of players such as Jon Rahm and Sam Burns for that reason.
I have to say, before seeing these shoes in person I was a little sceptical of the design and initially thought they looked a little ‘chunky’ but as soon as I opened the box my feelings changed.

The combination of spikes and the rough rubber sole create superb friction for those rounds in the rain and while the white color option may not be the way to go in the wetter conditions, The Ringer 2 golf shoe…
