Start with how the shoes fit and the conditions you play in. Then check the care, replacement parts and other kit you will need for a wet round.
The links below include UK buying guides. Check the country, currency and retailer in each article before ordering in the UK or US.
Choose shoes for the way you play
- Golf-shoe buying checks — compare fit, weather needs, spikeless soles and replaceable cleats.
- FootJoy Pro/SL guide — check the exact generation, width and seller’s specification.
- FootJoy HyperFlex guide — check the model, fastening and replacement-cleat details before ordering.
Check the footwear you already own
- Replacing golf-shoe spikes — identify whether the cleats are replaceable and match the attachment system before buying parts.
Prepare hands and grips for rain
- Rain-glove buying and care checks — assess the fit, what is supplied and how to dry the pair after the round.
- Grip condition and replacement choices — separate a cleaning or wear problem from a decision to change the grip model.
For the rest of a first-session outfit, use the beginner golf-clothing guide. If worn grips need replacing, compare the full regripping cost.
