Adidas Codechaos 22 Golf Shoe Review

Adidas Codechaos 22 Golf Shoe Review

You can certainly tell when a brand gives its designers carte blanche over its next golf shoe. One look at the 2022 version of the adidas Codechaos golf shoe and you can see that adidas either gave its designers lots coffee or lots of sugar (maybe both) and let them get to work. The result is an eye-catching spikeless golf shoe that is built on some of adidas’ best golf shoe technologies to date. 

Out of the blocks, I’ll say this is a brilliant looking shoe. Of course this is entirely subjective but, if you’re this far down the review, I bet you like the look of it too. The first thing that stands out specifically is the all-new wraparound outsole. While the overall silhouette is similar to the original Codechoas from 2020, I really like how elements of the outsole have bled onto the side of the shoe. It certainly creates a striking look in all seven available colors, but it also has a significant performance benefit. While the extra grip could certainly be felt on the sides of my feet, I found it also created one of the most stable spikeless shoes I’ve tested, specifically around the balls of my feet. 

I’ve been able to play in the Codechaos 22 five or six times now and it’s one of those golf shoes that you forget you are wearing, such is the nature of the comfort, support and grip on offer. It features adidas’ Boost technology throughout the entire shoe – a technology we have become familiar with in the similarly excellent adidas Tour 360 22 and adidas Rebelcross golf shoes. As advertised by the brand, the Boost midsole gives instant comfort and the Codechaos 22 shoes took no time at all to break in.
