Shoes are a crucial component of a golfer’s outfit. The traditional spiked leather golf shoes are the norm. However, several players have recently opted for more contemporary designs. The shoes should be clean, well-polished, and coordinated with the rest of the outfit’s color scheme.

However, a golfer’s gear may draw attention not just for its stylish appearance but also for its practicality.
