FootJoy Icon’s still set the benchmark for classic spiked shoes but most other brands opt for a more trainer-like (or even football boot) style with their spiked models.

There are some really smart spikeless shoes out their for 2018 which look great with a pair of jeans and can be worn down the pub.

Spiked vs. spikeless golf shoes: NCG verdict

I’ve asked the golfers in our office what they’d opt for if they could only wear one pair of golf shoes for the rest of their lives.

The results were spiked 8, spikeless 1. One person, who shall remain nameless has NEVER worn a pair of spikeless.

Most felt that in anything other than than bone-dry conditions they’d want to be wearing a spiked golf shoe.

And we live in Yorkshire. Case closed.
