These shoes look great on and off the course.

While sporty golf shoes are wonderful in their own way — especially in terms of athletic-shoe comfort and look-at-me appeal — sometimes, you just want an understated shoe that can blend in at the office and transition straight to the fairway.

The eight shoes below fit the bill. They’re the opposite of flashy — most are a single color, with little to no contrast detailing — but they boast all the bells and whistles of their sportier siblings: strategic padding and support structures, and soft-spike outsoles.
