Editor’s Picks: These 5 lightweight and breathable shoes are perfect for summer golf

lightweight shoes

These super-ventilated shoes are perfect for summer rounds.

There’s nothing like walking 18 holes in the height of summer to make you yearn for maximum breathability in your footwear. While seam-sealed waterproofing and heavy-duty leather is highly useful material for golf shoes in the colder months, during stretches of hot weather, our toes want ventilation and they want it now!

Luckily, there are plenty of options out there that are both lightweight and structured enough to offer the support you need throughout the swing. And as an added bonus, they look pretty stylish too.

Check out our five favorite lightweight and breathable shoes for summer below.

1. New Balance Fresh Foam Breathe

“Breathe” is right there in the name of these shoes, so you know you’re getting a winner when it comes to air circulation.

2. Nike Roshe G

If you like coordinating your outfits to match from head to toe, this pretty shade of lavender is a great choice to go with multiple shades of pink and other pastels.

3. Puma Monolite Cat EM

Nothing says cool and dry like all-over perforation. An ideal shoe for summer.

4. Adidas ClimaCool Cage

If you’re seeking ventilation with ultra-stability, the ClimaCool Cage offers a lateral stability weld to keep your foot in place throughout the swing.

5. FootJoy Flex XP Women

I’m a longtime fan of FootJoy shoes, and not only is this one stylish and also super comfy, it comes with a one-year waterproof warranty.

All-over lightweight performance mesh provides the breathability you need, while a soft EVA midsole offers comfort and stability. Traction zones on the outsole ensure maximum grip on and off the course.
