Let's dive in...
At the heart of the Ignite Elevate X is PUMA’s revolutionary IGNITE Foam midsole, engineered to provide exceptional energy return, responsive cushioning, and superior step-in comfort.
This game-changing cushioning system keeps fatigue at bay, ensuring golfers stay fresh and focused from the first tee to the final green.
Elevating the experience further is the FloatPlate technology, an advanced feature designed to optimize energy transfer throughout the swing.
Acting as a dynamic stabilizer, the FloatPlate enhances movement efficiency, allowing golfers to generate maximum power with every shot.
The PUMA Ignite Elevate X golf shoe’s EXOShell upper, reinforced with a TPU film, strikes the perfect balance between lightweight breathability and structured support.
You've then got PwrFrame and PwrCage technologies delivering a locked-in midfoot fit, ensuring unwavering stability when it matters most.
This results in a golf shoe that offers exceptional balance and control, allowing golfers to swing with greater precision and confidence.
The shoe's TPU outsole also boasts strategically placed traction lugs, providing fantastic grip across diverse course conditions.
While this is more of a spring / summer golf shoe, it will still do a good job for in the winter. But we would recommend slipping into these in the slighter warmer months of the season.
The addition of a midfoot shank plate fortifies structural integrity, minimizing foot movement while maximizing power transfer.
Whether you’re tackling a dewy morning fairway or dry, compact greens, the PUMA Ignite Elevate X golf shoes for 2025 will you the stability you need in every step.
Looks
Style-conscious golfers will appreciate the modern sophistication of the Puma White/Puma Black colourway in these Ignite Elevate X shoes.
The crisp white upper, contrasted by bold black detailing—including PUMA’s signature Formstrip and heel accents—exudes confidence and class.
The streamlined, athletic silhouette, paired with a textured upper, ensures that these shoes look just as sharp in the clubhouse as they do on the fairways.
Beyond the colour scheme, PUMA has carefully crafted the Ignite Elevate X with a contemporary yet timeless appeal.
The sleek design also complements a wide range of golf attire, making it an ideal choice for golfers who value both form and function.
Even when a bit of mud got onto these shoes after our first testing session, it wiped nice and clean when we got home.
Performance
Out on the course, the new PUMA Ignite Elevate X golf shoe is an undisputed powerhouse. This really is one of the best spikeless golf shoes that money can buy this season.
The IGNITE Foam and FloatPlate technology work in harmony to amplify energy return, delivering effortless power with every step and swing.
The EXOShell upper molds seamlessly to the foot, offering a precise, flexible fit that supports natural movement.
This adaptability enhanced our levels of comfort during testing, while also ensuring a locked-in feel, crucial for maintaining focus during a round.
When it comes to stability, the TPU outsole and traction lugs provide rock-solid grip, ensuring unwavering confidence across all terrains, whether wet or dry.
The superior traction helps golfers maintain their stance and execute shots with improved balance.
We felt incredibly locked in on every single shot on the golf course and much of that is down to the shoe's midfoot shank plate that enhances overall control.
