If you played more golf this summer than you did last year, your shoes probably tell the story. The cushioning in your go-to pair might be a little flatter, the traction is likely wearing a little thin, and those once-white uppers are now a permanent shade of spotted beige. We get it. Worn-out golf shoes are a badge of honor. But you’ve earned a new pair, too, and with fall golf ahead and new models hitting shelves, now’s a good time to find your next pair of kicks.
PGA TOUR Superstore’s new-shoe assortment offers a little of everything right now, including comfort-focused spikeless models, a suede take on a casual favorite and a Jason Day collaboration built for serious golf.
The new Quantum puts comfort first with SofFOAM cushioning, a lightweight engineered-knit upper and an OrthoLite Impression FitBed that molds to your foot. There’s also a waterproof inner membrane that adds protection for dewy mornings, while the padded collar and TruFit tongue help keep things comfortable around the ankle and instep. Underneath, the spikeless traction pattern is designed to handle the rotational and lateral forces of the swing.
1 thing we really like: The new Vantage shape is designed to hold the heel securely while allowing a full toe spread. That’s a welcome feature in a shoe category that used to have very pointed toe designs.

The CODECHAOS 27 has plenty going on (not to mention an awesome name). The CODECHAOS pairs full-length BOOST cushioning with a new AXISLOCK stability system, giving this athletic spikeless shoe a combination of underfoot comfort and swing support. The TWISTSKIN upper supplies lightweight protection from the elements, while the TWISTGRIP outsole is designed to maintain traction across changing lies.
1 thing we really like: If you’re a runner and wear adidas shoes, you’ll know and appreciate just how amazing the full-length BOOST cushioning feels.

The Osprey Suede takes Sun Day Red’s existing Osprey platform and gives it a premium suede upper in four new colorways. The sole engineering carries over, but the softer visual treatment gives the shoe a more casual personality. We’re particularly drawn to the Sand version, which looks ready for a pair of chinos and whatever’s on your schedule for after the round.
1 thing we really like: Suede! It gives that casual, understated look while still being a golf-ready shoe. Wish we saw more shoes just like this!

Developed with Jason Day, the Eighty Seven SC comes with a CLARINO Trivela microfiber upper for lightweight support and flexibility. It also has a waterproof, breathable membrane that helps keep moisture out. Under the foot, PAYNTR added PMXNitro+ cushioning in both the footbed and midsole, plus a CARBITEX GearFlex propulsion plate designed to help golfers use ground forces during the swing. Finish it up with an ARIAPRENE tongue and bootie to help secure the foot, and a TPU outsole that uses a Fast Twist spike system for maximum traction.
1 thing we really like: The Eighty Seven SC packs a lot of technology in a shoe that looks classic and refined. That’s a major accomplishment in our books.

PUMA’s Arnold Palmer-inspired design pairs a white leather upper with forest-green detailing, a modern saddle and a TPU clip. The PROFOAM cushioning and a spikeless rubber outsole handle the more practical side of the shoe, while also carrying a one-year waterproof warranty. It’s a handsome option for golfers who want their footwear to look as considered as the rest of their outfit.
1 thing we really like: The creamy white-and-green combination. It’s a great nod to Palmer’s timeless style.
