14 of the FRESHEST new golf shoes you need to consider ahead of 2020

The search for a fresh pair of golf shoes can prove extremely tough with so much choice out there today, but GolfMagic has landed on 14 newbies we believe you need to give some serious consideration to ahead of your next purchase. 

We have picked out a mix of spikeless and spiked shoes, some of which feature the clever BOA lacing system, and we have made our decisions solely based on each shoe's style, fit, comfort and performance. The majority of our chosen shoes range between £100 to £200, and our list is in alphabetical order rather than order of preference. Let's take a closer look at our favourite new golf shoes as we enter the final few months of the season...

adidas Golf Tour360 XT Primeknit 

The brand that is arguably pushing boundaries more than anyone else in the golf shoe market right now, and it's new Tour360 XT Primeknit is the perfect example of that. 

Featuring a waterproof knit upper that gives players a soft feel every time they tee it up, the adidas Tour360 XT Primeknit contains special yarns to repel water, keeping feet dry while still acting breathable and stable.

This shoe also incorporates forging technology - the process of heating the upper to provide more stability around the midfoot without adding any weight. 

When coupled with the brand's 360 Wrap, it gives players the locked-in feel they need for every shot. 

It also comes with eight-cleat X-Traxion outsole, which is without question the best traction system adidas Golf has ever designed, and it also features a full-length BOOST midsole for added levels of comfort and energy return all the way from the 1st hole through to the 19th. 

Light as a feather, incredibly stylish, pillow-like comfort, and strong and stable when you need it most. Also available in three different colour options to cater for different tastes and scripting choices. 

RRP: £159.95

adidas Golf Tour360 XT Twin BOA

adidas is bringing its first golf shoe featuring TWO BOA dials with its brand new Tour360 XT Twin BOA shoe. 

Similar to the proven dual dial configurations well known in cycling, the BOA lace system provides a customised performance fit that caters to the varying needs of golfers and provides lasting comfort on the golf course. 

This shoe is designed to offer micro-adjustability in two separate zones. The upper zone works for a macro, securet fit around the collar and provides support to prevent power leakage throughout your swing. The side-mounted dial also helps to close the tongue and securely holds your heel. 

The lower zone provides micro-adjustability from the middle to bottom instep for customised fit, feel and support, without any irritation or discomfort. 

Lightweight, waterproof, ultra-durable and a superb fit thanks to BOA. This one is well worth a look ahead of 2020. 

RRP: £179.95

adidas Golf Tour360 XT SL

Probably our favourite golf shoe of 2019, which has already proven a hit with the likes of Dustin Johnson, Tyrrell Hatton and Sergio Garcia this season. 

Earning its name due to the X-shaped traction system (X-Traxion) on the outsole, the new adidas Golf Tour360 XT SL provides multi-directional grip throughout the swing.

The shoe's X-shaped lugs provide more stability and can react with better traction through uneven lies due to their eight-sided touch points with the ground.

Golfers will feel locked in throughout the swing as a result, allowing the lugs to react to any conditions a player might encounter. The X-shaped traction system provides the best possible grip without sacrificing any comfort.

Under Armour Spieth 3

Under Armour's Spieth 3 is the lightest Spieth golf shoe to date, while maintaining stability and structural support. We also love it because it's 100% waterproof UA Storm technology repels water without sacrificing breathability.

Jordan Spieth worked with UA’s research team to determine three must-haves that could not be compromised in the construction of the Spieth 3.

When a golfer swings, the forefoot rotates laterally and the heel rotates in the medial direction. When the swing comes back to impact, the foot wants to twist out from under the golfer, resulting in foot slippage. The Spieth 3 uses patented rotational resistance and traction, both vertically and horizontally, to keep the feet on the ground as long as possible.

The golfer is able to use the ground for leverage to power the swing and prevent slipping, ensuring maximum control and minimizing power loss.

At Jordan’s request, the overall weight of the Spieth 3 is significantly lighter than past models. To provide the most comfort and stability when walking the course, the Spieth 3 has an upper with microfiber in the heel and a smartly woven jacquard in the forefoot.

RRP: £170
