The Best Golf Shoes(UK, 2026)

The Callaway GTX is the golf shoe most club golfers should buy. It is genuinely waterproof, which is non-negotiable for UK golf, spikeless, so it grips well in normal conditions while being comfortable to walk a full round in and versatile enough to wear off the course, and it comes from a trusted golf brand at a sensible price. For the everyday reality of playing in typical British weather on typical courses, it covers everything without fuss.

Being spikeless, it gives up a little grip to a spiked shoe in very wet, hilly or muddy conditions, so a competitive golfer who plays through winter might prefer spikes. But for most golfers most of the time, the comfort, versatility and plenty-good grip of a waterproof spikeless shoe is the better all-round package. If you have wide feet, the adidas wide-fit below suits better; for the best do-everything golf shoe, this is the pick.

If you have wider feet, or you just want a roomier, more comfortable shoe, the adidas Tech Response SL 3.0 in a wide fit is the pick. The wider last gives your feet room to spread over the miles without pinching, which is exactly what you want on a four-mile walk, and adidas's sports-shoe comfort and cushioning make it feel more like a trainer than a stiff golf shoe. It grips well and looks clean on and off the course.

Check the specific model's waterproof rating for your needs, as some versions are more water-resistant than fully waterproof, and it is a wide fit, so standard-width feet may find it too roomy. But for golfers who find normal golf shoes narrow and uncomfortable, a proper wide fit transforms the round, and comfort over four miles matters more than almost anything else. If your feet are standard width, the Callaway suits better; for wider feet wanting comfort, this adidas is the one.

If you want proper golf shoes without spending much, the Solamni waterproof spikeless trainers do the job for around £42. They are waterproof, which is the essential for UK golf, spikeless and trainer-styled so they are comfortable and easy to wear on and off the course, and they grip well enough for normal conditions. For a first pair, an occasional golfer or a tight budget, they cover the fundamentals cheaply.

At this price the materials and long-term durability are more basic than the branded shoes, and the waterproofing may not carry the multi-year guarantee a premium shoe does, so they suit lighter or occasional use. But a golf shoe's core job, keeping your feet dry and gripped over the round, is delivered for little money. If you play often and want proven durability and a longer waterproof guarantee, the Callaway or adidas are worth more; as the cheapest capable waterproof golf shoe, this is honest value.

If standard and even wide golf shoes still pinch, the FitVille is built specifically for extra-wide and problem feet. It offers a genuinely generous fit with room in the toe box and across the foot, which suits bunions, swelling, orthotics or simply very wide feet that most golf shoes punish over four miles. For golfers who have given up on comfortable golf shoes, a proper extra-wide option can make walking a round pleasant again.

It is a specialist fit, so standard and even normally-wide feet will find it too roomy, and it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof on some versions, so check the rating for wet-weather play. But for the specific need of extra-wide, accommodating comfort, it does what mainstream golf shoes cannot. If your feet are standard or regular-wide, the Callaway or adidas suit better; if you need genuine extra width, this is the pick. (Stock can be limited.)
