Best Golf Running Shoe?

[BYK]

If you’re speed Golfing why not just running shoes? 

[JChip]

too slippery

[ChrisATL]

Candidly, I've never heard of a "golf running" shoe, but I'd guess anything that is spikeless and made by one of the standard athletic shoe companies would do the trick (Nike, Adidas).  🤷‍♂️

[MattM97]

Look at New Balance or Asics' golf options, obviously both in the running space and moving over to golf.

 

Adidas has the Ultraboost Golf which looks like a straight running shoe with golf tread.

The new Nike Pegasus look pretty rad.  Love to get some feedback on those.  I recently purchased the True Linkswear All Day Knit III and not very comfortable.  Plus, the insole grabs your socks.  MG4's are my favorite to date

Help me out here. Are you looking for a running shoe to play golf in, or a golf shoe that is based on running shoe technology?

[JChip]

thanks...Looking for a golf shoe that that is based on running shoe

My brother and I both play quite a bit in Hoka Bondi 8's.

 

Super comfortable and the wide sole and forefoot is very stable.

 

And in our opinion the soles have as much grip as any of our spikeless golf shoes all of which are adidas.

Only one that comes close is the Adidas ultra boost. Other than a traction outsole it is exactly the he same as the standard ultra boost. 

 

Only other ones I can think to look at are ASICS.

[dwboston]

Probably the ASICS Gel-Kayano Ace golf shoe or the Nike Pegasus 89 golf shoe.  I have the ASICS and they are super comfortable.

Got it

the adidas ultraboost version is probably as close as you'll get to a running golf shoe

[JChip]

If you do not need waterproof …

 

true Linkswear Ripstop v2

altra superior v…whatever version they are on

topo athletic mt-5

 

with the TL being the most “golfy” and the Altra and Topo being true trail running shoes.

great ideas - thanks

Brooks Cascadia trail running shoe? 
It has a sole with spiky points. Works okay for golf under most conditions.

Awesome - good idea

I was a runner for 50 years, and the last 20 or so I ran in ASICS Kayanos.  The ASICS Gel Kayano golf shoe is pretty much the same shoe; different sole, of course, and the Cleveland rep told me Asics had reinforced it a bit for lateral motion.  I’ve been walking 18 holes 3 or 4 rimes a week in them for over a year now, and they are excellent; also very good on waterproofing for a non-Goretex shoe.

 

I would guess that the NB golf shoes are similar?

[JChip]

I have to check them out.  Thanks 

[Philfil]

ASICS Kayano - probably one of the top running shoes worldwide - check these out - https://us.dunlopsports.com/asics/mens-golf-shoes/gel-kayano-ace-2

[JChip]

Philfil - cool - are they waterproof? Do they run true to size?

Product description:

 

"Your ace in the hole, every round. Inspired by ASICS running shoes, GEL-KAYANO ACE features extra padding on the ankle and tongue for a soft feel. ASICS FlyteFoam provides lightweight shock absorption and plenty of support, while ASICS Gel Technology increases that shock absorption and is strategically placed for maximum comfort under the heel. Air mesh and TPU heels cradle your feet for a flexible yet supportive fit, plus a thin waterproof PU lining keeps them dry in wet conditions. Then the FG traction sole pattern and flex grooves place spikes exactly where they need to be for stability during your swing and grip while walking the course."

 

I think they run slightly big to size.

[JChip]

great - I am going to try them

[StudentGolfer4]

Nike Rosche golf shoes could be worth a shot. I have the mesh ones so they are not waterproof but they make leather ones that are. 
 

Nike Pegasus Trail GoreTex could be a good option for you. 

 

Just my opinion, but I do not find any of my tennis shoes much different traction wise than spikeless golf shoes. If I’m just going to the range I wear tennis shoes. Same when I’m walking twilight rounds.

I'm gonna throw in a vote for the OluKai Manele (formerly called the Kapalua.) I'm not a runner but I could see them holding up well and they have plenty of grip. I've been wearing them since the summer and just got a second pair. Might be worth a look.

Another vote from me for the Asics Gel Kayano Ace.  I LOVE these shoes - I had searched for a long time and these are perfect.  Good comfort, stability, water-proof, look good (dark gray/slate option) - I jog/walk the course a few times/week and these keep my body feeling good just like good running shoes would.  Even if they didn't provide the best stability for the golf swing aspect, I would probably still use them, but they do.  

 

The only thing I could possibly want that it doesn't currently have would be a BOA option.  

 

Asics, God bless you, and please keep making these!

[cliche]

just buy a trail running shoe.

[Forged4ever]

Madison has been wearin em on course since the X2 Trail Runner's introduction a year ago, as she's a HOKA "Ambassador(she was formerly an ECCO Staffer)." I've been wearin em since shortly thereafter. VJ's a lil late to the party, though better late than never, lol
