As a girl with more golf shoes in her closet than heels—trust me when I say my standards for on-course footwear are high.
It's not just about buying what's cute or what's on sale (though both are important measures of criteria), the true test of what makes a good shoe is its wearability. How comfortable and functional a shoe is needs to be your first focus, the rest can come later.
But lucky for us, golf's style renaissance has expanded to include our kicks, too! Because there's seriously nothing worse than having the perfect outfit, and then you fail to have right shoe to match the vibe. The golf shoe evolution has led us down the road of hybrids, endless spikeless options, and even taking beloved silhouettes and modifying them to be made for the greens. (I'm looking at you, the adidas Samba.)
We're already beginning to see new releases and colorways that are early-year candidates for best golf shoes in 2026. I mixed in the latest and greatest, along with pairs that I still can't get enough of.

adidas Women's Samba Spikeless Golf Shoes
The Samba golf shoe has staked its claim as being the "it girl" of on-course footwear, but this just may be the best colorway yet. The retro-inspired rustic orange is something out of my dreams.

FootJoy Women's Pro/SL
These icy blue kicks from FootJoy look even better IRL. They still have that FJ look and feel, but these Pro/SLs represent a refreshed, reimagined new chapter of the brand that's so rooted in tradition. FootJoy is making even more of an effort towards fashionable strides, and I'm here for it.

Nike Women's Victory Pro 4
Spotted on Nelly Korda during the LPGA's season opener, the Victory Pro is another classic golf shoe that gets a slight upgrade each year. NK was rocking a very sleek white/dust/black colorway that speaks volumes with their subtlety.

G/FORE Women's Gallivanter Croc-Embossed Leather Luxe Golf Shoe
G/FORE has really come out swinging in 2026, releasing some really fun and sexy off-course pieces like a cropped jacket with a leather collar, but these croc-skin shoes are by far the best for-golf-footwear we've seen them drop in a while. Everything about these is a 10!

New Balance Women's 530 Golf Shoes
Not to make this a list of sneakers I wear in everyday life, turned golf shoes, but I mean c'mon? The NB 530 is such a cool-girl shoe and now that I can wear them as a spikeless golf shoe option just made my entire year.

Duca del Cosma Women's Olivera Golf Shoes
I recognize that these may not be everyone's taste. A chunky, sneaker-like golf shoe with unique color-blocking details is a bit out there, but you can't deny that these are cool AF. Duca del Cosma always does funky, but these are among my favorites they've ever released.

Sun Day Red Osprey
Not to be dramatic but this was a game-changing shoe for me last year and I'll gladly rock them until the (metaphorical) wheels fall off. And lucky us! Tiger's brand blessed us with a new colorway—almond spice.

Payntr Women's Golf Sport Classic LE
I need to say a special thanks to my fellow Skratch style editor Raymond Williams for putting Payntr into my orbit. I had seen the brand on social media but never pulled the trigger on getting a pair of shoes, but I'm so glad I did. Upon my first wear I immediately felt the quality and intention put into the design. For a full leather and waterproof shoe, my feet never got fatigued. They're more on the golf-y than fashionable side yet remain to be stylish and work well with any outfit I throw on.

adidas Women's MC Zoysia Spikeless Golf Shoes
A modern twist on a classic silhouette. I found myself gravitating to these shoes quite a bit, last year on different golf trips. The adidas BOOST technology in the spike-less sole makes these beyond wearable no matter the conditions.
$90 (Originally $150)

ECCO Biom H5 Women's Spikeless Golf Shoes
These are the most unconventional shoe on this list in terms of appearance, but there's no doubt around how comfortable they are. There are quite a few spikeless options on this list and I'd vote these to be the pair that actually had the most traction and prevented slipping.
$140 (Originally $230)
