The Best Spiked Golf Shoes for 2025

There is an endless debate about whether a golfer should wear a spiked or a spikeless golf shoe. Some swear that a spiked shoe has more traction, but tests show that spikeless shoes are equally grippy.

This post looks at our five best-spiked golf shoes for 2025.

Our ranking system looks at the following: Style | Comfort | Fit – Size/width availability and boa fitting options, etc. | Traction – stability and grip | Price

All have a 1-year waterproof warranty, so although this is something to consider in spiked shoes (typically used all year round or as winter shoes), they should all perform well, so they are not in the ranking system.

Best Spiked Golf Shoes 2024 FootJoy Hyperflex

1) FootJoy HyperFlex/HyperFlex Carbon Mens Spiked Golf Shoes

Features and Benefits:

Athletic profile
OptiFlex zones to allow flex and range of movement where needed
ThermoPlastic saddle wraps around mid-foot, power stabiliser, and moulded ribbed knit saddle in the heel for stability
Carbon shoe features a custom-moulded carbon fibre plate wrapped around the midsole for added support
Low-profile soft spike design for traction and stability
StratoFoam provides step-in comfort and is supported by an FTF+ midsole that is stiffer around the edge to balance comfort and support
OrthoLite FitBed moulds to your foot over time

Comments:

Sock-like fit and modern styling
Boa and carbon are available in various colours and fits. If you are in doubt, go half-size up or wide fit.
All the fit/quality/comfort you’d expect from a premium FootJoy shoe
Carbon is a bit more expensive, but standard shoes offer a better value alternative – worth the extra is you want the best of the best but are not going to be a complete needle shifter for most golfers
FootJoy golf shoes are without doubt one of the strongest ranges in golf.

Podiatrist-certified Arch Fit insole supports your foot however long you’re out on the course and provides comfort alongside lightweight Eco Flight cushioning (at least 10% recycled materials)
Softspikes in their Tour Flex Pro system, as well as moulded rubber grip bottom plate for traction

Comments:

Skechers aren’t known for their styling, but these are simple and clean
Hard to beat Skechers for comfort
Limited colour and size options but generally quite a generous fit – not too snug
A mix of spikes and rubber soles provides good traction.

Best For Comfort – adidas Tour360 Spiked Golf Shoes

=3) Adidas Tour 360 Mens Spiked Golf Shoes – Best for Style

Features and Benefits:

Leather upper – easy to clean
“INSITE” sock liner for comfort and snug fit
Torsion bridge for lateral stability
Jet Boost cushioning in the heel for comfort and more efficient energy return
7-spike outsole for traction

Comments:

It can take a little bit of wearing in around the heel, etc, but jet boost cushioning helps for comfort when on
If in doubt, go half a size up – limited colour and size options
Tied with Traditions – These will give maximum traction and performance, but Traditions have plenty more options for colours and fit at a better price point.

Best Spiked Golf Shoes – Best for Value

=3) FootJoy Traditions Mens Spiked Golf Shoes

Full-grain leather construction – easy, clean and durable
Classic toe shaping
Lightweight cushioned midsole for comfort
EVA FitBed moulds to the shape of your foot and provides support
Built-in Achilles pad to prevent slipping in the shoe

Comments:

If you want ultimate performance, it might not be number 1, but the price and fitting options seriously boost this in the overall rankings.
Classic-looking shoe if you like that traditional style
No boa, but plenty of colour/size options and even spikeless if you’d somewhat – pretty true to size
It has the simplest spike pattern and is relatively narrow rather than right on the edge of the sole – still good traction but maybe not quite the same as some of the others
Tied with Adidas – these have plenty more options on colours and fit at a better price point, but Adidas will have slightly better traction and performance
