The new MG4+ O2 G/Lock golf shoe from G/Fore builds on the design and comfort of the popular MG4+, but aimed at enhancing greater performance with a high-tech sole for better grip and balance. It’s a spiked option in the brand’s extensive women’s collection, so is it one of the best women’s golf shoes on the market?
Like the MG4+ women’s golf shoe, this latest offering is a very athletic looking shoe, and in fact I think it’s hard to beat this fashion-forward brand when it comes to golf shoe styling. It’s available in three colorways – snow/blush, snow/twilight or snow/multi – with a lot of detail packed into this shoe.

I really like the soft pink color that highlights the top of the mid sole and the shiny external heel counter, as this color compliments the white upper really nicely. The laces also have a touch of soft pink, but it these details combined that makes you want to give this shoe a second look.

In fact, one of my favorite golf shoes last year was Duca del Cosma’s Alesi, which had a platform sole.

When it comes to comfort, this shoe has a foam footbed and I have to mention the removable insole, which gives you a mini massage as you walk, and is just what you need over 18 holes. It’s genius.
Now let’s look at the performance of this shoe – does the sole do a good job. First off, it’s largely bright pink and extends through to the protective toe cap, which many golf shoes have nowadays. There are lateral traction lugs and ten replaceable Softspikes, six at the front and four at the back.
I wore these shoes over a couple of rounds when the ground had started to dry out. I felt very locked in from the ground up and the grip was…
