With the right golf shoes, you can generate more power and speed in your swing — you just need to pay attention to a few key factors.
GOLF
You may not realize it, but your golf shoes are an extension of your equipment and with the right gear, you can even generate more power and speed – you just need to look at a few key factors.
The first part of the design to look at is the propulsion plate, or power plate. The plate design improves energy return to the wearer by compressing and expanding the foam in the center very quickly, which returns energy to the wearer. Without this element, your power would be lost.
Second on the list is drag. This is an important feature of any golf shoe because shoes with improved traction help you control your linear motion, resist rotational motion and grip the turf to use the perfect vertical downforce.
Better traction will also allow you to swing harder without worrying about slipping, which will increase your confidence on the course. And good news for players who choose spikeless shoes, there are plenty of spikeless golf shoes on the market that offer improved traction.
The last feature your golf shoes should have is comfort. Whether you choose to ride or hike, your shoes should be able to keep up with you and your game. Look for golf shoes with responsive cushioning and functional insoles, which can increase your support and help prevent injuries.
Comfort also means dry feet, so look for shoes made with waterproof materials (extra points for breathability).
If you need a good place to start, check out the shoes below from Payntr (two of which are on sale), as they were created with all of these components and more.
