Yes, seriously, I test golf shoes for a living. If you want to hear all about my career arc please feel free to join me for a beer at my local, and I can talk you through the whole journey. Niche though my job may be, it does put me in a rather powerful position and I reckon I know just about all there is to know about the golf shoe market. I can tell you what a good golf shoe is from a bad golf shoe and – most importantly around Black Friday – what a good golf shoe deal is from a bad golf shoe deal.
Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to pick up a new pair of the best golf shoes. Some golfers rightfully find the ever-increasing price of golf shoes a tough investment, so the holiday sales period is an ideal time to pick up one of the best golf shoes on the market for a significantly cheaper price. Perhaps I’m biased, but I believe it’s vital you have a good pair of golf shoes at your disposal if you want to take your golf seriously.

Here, I’m going to pick out my favorites based on which I think are actually decent shoes and which offer such good value for money that they shouldn’t be missed.

Another one of the best spiked golf shoes of the year discounted to $150, this time from one of Adidas’ biggest rivals, Nike. This was a new launch for Nike this year and is the shoe of choice for Brooks Koepka. I was shocked at how comfortable, soft and cushioned this shoe was, especially considering Nike are known for making slightly firmer golf shoes. This was a marked improvement from the previous generation and will be another great option if you’re after a performance-driven spiked golf shoe. Like the Adidas, I was surprised to see this already discounted seeing it was only released in Spring this…
