Finding the best golf shoes for wide feet can be a real challenge. Too many golf shoes are built on narrow lasts that leave wider feet feeling cramped, sore and distracted over 18 holes. The good news is that there are excellent options that either come in genuine wide and extra-wide fittings or are built on a naturally roomy shape that suits wider feet beautifully. In this guide, we round up five of the best.

Our top pick is the FootJoy Premiere Series Packard, and for good reason: FootJoy is one of the very few brands to offer a premium leather golf shoe in both wide and extra wide widths. We also include a second genuine wide option in the Skechers Blade Tour Slip-Ins, alongside three shoes from Ecco, Payntr and New Balance that win wider-footed golfers over with their comfortable, accommodating fit. You can browse the full collection in our golf shoes department.

Belo,w we explain what to look for when buying golf shoes for wide feet, review all five shoes in detail, and answer the questions golfers ask most often. Whether you take a standard, wide,  or extra-wide fit, there is a perfect pair here for you.

What to Look For in Golf Shoes for Wide Feet

If you have wide feet, a few key features make all the difference between a comfortable round and a painful one. Keep these in mind as you choose.

Genuine Width Fittings

The gold standard is a shoe offered in wide (W) and extra-wide (XW) sizes, not just standard width. FootJoy leads the way here, which is why the Packard is our top pick.

A Roomy Toe Box

Even in a standard width, a foot-shaped, rounded toe box lets your toes spread naturally. Ecco’s anatomical last is a great example of a comfortable fit for wider feet.

A Flexible, Forgiving Upper

Soft full-grain leather and microfibre uppers give a little, moulding to your foot rather than pinching. This helps wider feet settle in comfortably.

Adjustable Fit Systems

A BOA dial or slip-in design lets you fine-tune how the shoe sits across the foot, giving wider feet more control over comfort and security.

Our advice: if you know you take a wide or extra-wide fit, start with a shoe that genuinely offers those sizes, like the FootJoy Premiere Packard.

If you are only slightly wider than average, a roomy standard-width shoe such as the Ecco Biom C5 or New Balance 997 SL may well be comfortable enough. When in doubt, our team is happy to advise on 0800 3681097.

FootJoy Premiere Series Packard: The Best Golf Shoes for Wide Feet

FootJoy Premiere Series Packard Mens Golf Shoes for wide feet

The FootJoy Premiere Series Packard is our pick for the best golf shoes for wide feet, and the reason is simple: it is offered in both wide and extra-wide fittings, as well as standard. Very few premium leather golf shoes give wider-footed golfers that choice, and fewer still do it with this much style. At £189, it is a classic, tour-inspired shoe that finally fits properly.

Why We Love It

Crafted from premium full-grain leather, the Packard pairs timeless looks with modern performance. A lightweight EVA midsole gives firm, responsive cushioning, the OrthoLite TruFit tongue and EcoPlush FitBed deliver a secure, supported fit, and ARCTrax outsole technology with Pulsar LP cleats provides tour-proven traction. It is built on the Laser Street Last with a full-rounded toe and standard forefoot, and, crucially, the availability of wide and extra-wide options means you can match it precisely to your feet. A 1-year waterproof warranty adds peace of mind in the wet.

Mark Crossfield’s take: “These shoes are for people who want that classic look, they want really good traction, they want waterproof, solid, made from a brand that you know is just going to last in FootJoy. With a good pair of trousers on, on a nice summer’s day, you are going to feel a million dollars in a shoe like this.”

Mark reviewed the Premiere Series and was a particular fan of the Packard’s styling, singling out its rich leather and that distinctive tan, almost gum-coloured sole.

Mark on the Packard look: “When we go to the Packard, look at that, with that tan almost gum sole, it just looks fantastic. Amazing traction on all the shoes.”

That blend of classic looks, dependable grip, and FootJoy waterproofing, now available in wide and extra-wide, is exactly why the Packard tops our list.

Ecco Biom C5 BOA Gore-Tex: Foot-Shaped Comfort

Ecco Mens Biom C5 BOA Gore-Tex Golf Shoes

While the Ecco Biom C5 BOA is offered in a standard width, its naturally roomy, anatomical shape makes it a firm favourite among golfers with slightly wider feet. At £189, this premium spikeless shoe combines a foot-shaped last with the precision of a BOA fit system so that you can dial in exactly the right amount of room across the foot.

Why We Love It

BIOM Natural Motion brings you closer to the ground for stability and a natural walking feel, while the foot-shaped design gives toes room to spread.

Golf Shoe Technology Explained

Golf shoes pack in plenty of clever technology. Understanding the key features helps you choose the right pair, especially when fit and comfort are your priority.

Width Fittings & Lasts

Lastly, the foot-shaped mould on which a shoe is built. Brands like FootJoy offer wide and extra wide lasts, while Ecco uses an anatomical, foot-shaped last that gives toes natural room.

Waterproofing

From GORE-TEX Surround on the Ecco to WATERPROOF+ on the Payntr, sealed membranes keep feet dry. Warranties range from 1 to 2 years across these shoes.

Spiked vs Spikeless

Spiked shoes like the FootJoy and Skechers offer maximum grip, while spikeless shoes like the Ecco and New Balance are more versatile on and off the course.

Fit Systems

A BOA dial (Ecco) lets you fine-tune tension across the foot, while Skechers Slip-Ins offer hands-free entry. Both help wider feet get a comfortable, secure fit.

Cushioning & Support

From EVA midsoles to Arch Fit insoles and PMX Foam, good cushioning keeps you comfortable over 18 holes, which matters even more if your feet tire easily.

Care & Longevity

Clean leather and microfibre uppers with warm water and mild soap, and let them dry naturally away from direct heat to protect the waterproof membrane.

Best Golf Shoes for Wide Feet FAQs

What are the best golf shoes for wide feet?

We rate the FootJoy Premiere Series Packard as the best golf shoes for wide feet.

It is one of the very few premium leather golf shoes offered in both wide and extra-wide fittings. The Skechers Blade Tour Slip-Ins are another genuine wide option in selected colours, while the Ecco Biom C5, Payntr Reserve and New Balance 997 SL all offer roomy, comfortable fits.

Which golf shoes come in wide and extra-wide sizes?

FootJoy is the standout brand for genuine wide and extra wide fittings.

The Premiere Packard is offered in standard, wide, and extra-wide. The Skechers Blade Tour Slip-Ins are available in wide widths in selected colours. If you need a true wide fitting, these are the two to start with.

Can I wear standard-width golf shoes if I have slightly wide feet?

Often yes, especially if the shoe is built on a roomy, foot-shaped last.

Shoes like the Ecco Biom C5, with its anatomical shape and BOA dial, or the relaxed New Balance 997 SL, suit many golfers who are only slightly wider than average. A flexible upper that gives, rather than pinches, makes a big difference.

Are spiked or spikeless shoes better for wide feet?

Both work well, so it comes down to grip and versatility rather than width.

Spiked shoes like the FootJoy Packard offer maximum traction, while spikeless options like the Ecco and New Balance are more versatile on and off the course. Width fit depends on the last and the fit, not on whether the shoe is spiked.

How should golf shoes fit if I have wide feet?

Your foot should sit comfortably, with no pressure on the widest part and a little room at the toes.

Avoid sizing up in length to gain width, as this leaves the heel loose and the foot sliding. Instead, choose a genuine wide or extra-wide fitting, or a roomy last. Our team can advise on 0800 3681097.

Are these golf shoes waterproof?

Yes, all five shoes feature waterproof protection.

Waterproof warranties range from 1 year on the FootJoy, Skechers and New Balance to 2 years on the Ecco Biom C5, with the Payntr using a fully sealed WATERPROOF+ membrane. Properly caring for them keeps that protection working longer.
