Skechers introduced themselves to the golf footwear market in 2014 and since then they have continuously grown, manufacturing some of the best golf shoes.
Skechers have long been considerd a brand for older generations. However, they are increasing in popularity within younger generations, perhaps thanks to brand ambassadors Brooke Henderson and Matt Fitzpatrick.

How to choose golf shoes
When purchasing your next pair of golf shoes, you will inevitably factor in some criteria – there are too many options to consider if you do not. Here are some we feel you should think about.
Budget
Golf shoes seriously range in price, and you can always find a suitable pair of shoes in any budget so set a budget and you will find a pair of shoes you will happily wear around the golf course.
Spiked or spikeless
This is more often not decided for you depending on where you play and how often, spiked golf shoes are better for softer ground and wetter climates, however, spikeless golf shoes are increasingly improving at providing sufficient grip.
Waterproofing
If you play in wet weather your mind will most likely already be made up on this one, waterproof golf shoes are always handy but not always a necessity so you might want to consider how much of a non-negotiable this is because it will open up more footwear options.
Fit
The beauty of Skechers golf shoes is most of their shoes come with their removable Arch Fit insole so it is easier to find the perfect fit which adds to the comfort of their golf shoes – there is nothing worse than wearing a pair of shoes which don’t fit.
Styling
Skechers offers a wide range of styles, most people will find one they like. It is important to like what you wear on your own feet, especially when you see your shoes over every shot.
