Best looking golf shoes of all time

Bored and was scanning my Instagram looking at all the latest offerings of golf shoes on the market and kind of got depressed. Working with a lot of these Brands I get to see a lot of the designs a year early and it is just perplexing to me how bad golf shoes are starting to look. So, it got me thinking what the best looking golf shoes of all time were based on 2 categories: Sport (what I would consider wearing with shorts) and Classic (what I would wear with pants). So, here are my 2 to be bantered about, dismissed, made fun of, etc:

SPORT

Adidas Adipure Nuovo White Colorway

CLASSIC

FJ Icon Shield tips in Black/White patent leather

Now let's have yours and discuss why mine is better. : )

Classic: The connoisseur by royal albartross

Sport: Adidas pure 360

Interested in opinions. Very hard to find nearly plain white golf shoes now days.

Sport would be the Adidas tour 360 ltd,

Classic are my leather slole footjoy Classic asymmetrical black leather/snakeskin(real snake, maybe rattlesnake?). Never seen another pair like em

For sport shoes I would go with Nike Lunar Control II and for classic shoes I would probably go with FJ Icon shield tips, although I can't pick a color combo. Also, I think that there are a lot more good options to pick from for classic shoes than there are for sport/athletic shoes.

My fav are the Callaway ERC Cambridge, Bamaco/Blanco

Still have them sitting on a shelf. Beauties!

Sport = Adidas Adipure. Not sure everyone would consider them sporty, but IMO they are. Simple design, clean lines, and nearly no logos (besides the 3 stripes around the arch).

Classic = Footjoy Shieldtips. No explanation needed.

I'd go with FootJoy Classics. Preferably the patent red,white,blues with Kilties worn by Johnny Miller at the '73 US Open.

Yea. No brainer. FootJoy classics. All black, black/white saddle, any color/white saddle. Leather soles. Pure class. Today's options make my head hurt.

These are golf shoes.

They're all leather including the soles.

Plain old, FJ Classic, white with black saddles.

For me these fit both categories, I still have both in the rotation and they are super comfortable. Wish they still made shoes like these but I did actually pick up a pair of 14's as they were too cheap to pass up and they are comfortable but they remind me of those shoes Jimmy wore on the Mel Torme episode of Seinfeld.

Here's a style that looks good with shorts or slacks. The FootJoy Icon Asymmetrical style. The white base options with colored prints look really good with shorts.

And while you can wear those with slacks as well, the colored base with coordinating or contrasting colored side panel, make for a very finished look with long pants.

But you can never go wrong with a pair of shield tips, that's for sure. :-)

For sport, I'd agree with those who say original Adipures, and also throw original and 2nd year FJ Sports in there (didn't like the last year's styling, though).

For classic, I love the shield tips. A little too dressy for me with polyester golf pants, but I love the styling.

These Edward Greens put all the above to shame:

They ought to; they cost probably $1,600++.

Sport I am town between adipure 360 ltd, puma swing gtx and puma neolux. All must be in white.

Classic style- my favorites of all time are the FJ classic dry premier in white with red lizard saddle.

Huh...you took a picture of your golf shoes 3 1/2 years ago just so you could post them on the internet for this special occasion today?
OK.

Most any Footjoy Classics from the 1970s or 80s. Icons look cheap by comparison with that horrific non-leather sole.


Sports: the original Nike sports model from the mid 2000s (SM 4, 10, something lime that....white with the black swoosh) whose popularity is credited as an early prompter of the movement ore toward sports models. And, the original Nike Lunar Control would be the runner up.

I've got a pair of these. Probably the best looking shoes, ever.

Most of the shoes pictured I would never even consider buying. Uuuuugly - lol. (Just my opinion)

Best classic looking shoe, will always be the FJ Classic. Wish I had bought more when they discontinued them, even the shape of the shoe was brilliant. Never felt quite right in anything since they discontinued them. Hoping that the Icon Black might come quite close to matching them in terms of looks...and maybe beating them when it comes to comfort.

Best sporty looking shoe for me has to be something by Adidas. Hard to pick a specific model simply because there seems to have been so many.

I think the Justin golf shoes look great.

And your personal favorites are . . .

If my feet aren't hurting by the middle of the back 9, they always look a little nicer. Comfort #1, looks is icing on the cake. I guess I would fall in the area between a classic wing tip and a sport, something like a Dryjoy Casual.

I have a pair of Patrick Gibbons Handmade Black on White in Sharkskin (these pictures are lizard). They might be the nicest golf shoes I have ever tried on. Immaculate.

[/quote]Probably Crocs, it's hard to play fast in those. :-)

All the super high-end stuff, and the old FJ classics, are always going to have a look of their own. In my eyes, they really are the best looking golf shoes... but the choices are endless.

When it comes to a "semi-affordable for most" regular release golf shoe, there are 2 that come to mind for me. I really wish that they would re-release these (probably never going to happen, though).
