Stepping into a new generation, the G/Fore MG4+ O2 golf shoe is a fresh take on the brand’s popular MG4+ design. I’m already a fan of G/Fore’s MG4+ O2 G/Lock spiked model that launched earlier this year, so I was keen to test this latest model to find out if it provides the same level of performance and competes as one of the best women’s spikeless golf shoes.
There’s no doubt G/Fore sets the bar for style, and this shoe is no exception. The MG4+ O2 has a sleek, athletic silhouette that’s both modern and functional. I tested the stone colorway, which is accented with tasteful pops of navy and a vibrant green. It’s a combination that adds just enough flair without being over the top. The inclusion of two pairs of laces -navy/beige and a solid beige – allows for a quick style change. I must admit, I’ve never bothered changing laces, but it’s an appreciated detail.

The comfort of this spikeless shoe is exceptional from the moment you put it on and compares to FootJoy’s Quantum, Payntr X 007 and Ecco’s Biom H5 Textile golf shoe as the most comfortable golf shoes for women.
The fully padded mesh interior feels soft against the foot and the midsole provides a feeling of springy energy. It’s no secret that my favourite feature of G/Fore shoes are the removable inserts that offer a gentle, stimulating feel, like a mini massage, so this helps to reduce foot fatigue over 18 holes. was particularly impressed with the removable cushion inserts. They provide a unique sensation underfoot, offering a gentle, stimulating feel that helps reduce foot fatigue over 18 holes.

In terms of design and aesthetics, other than the sole, there’s not a lot of difference between the spiked and spikeless MG4+ O2 model. I noticed this shoe has a heel counter with a matte look finish and an extended heel tab, whereas the spikeless shoe’s heel counter is shiny and without a tab, so minimal difference unless I’ve missed something!
As previously mentioned, I’ve worn the MG4+ O2 G/Lock spiked shoe a lot and one thing worth mentioning is that the soft heel collar, which in this case is a light pink, has become quite grubby and not the easiest to clean. In contrast, the rest of the shoe, which is predominantly white has come up spotless! The good thing is that the collar in this colorway is navy, so won’t show the dirt.
