We don’t hand out style awards, but maybe we should after seeing the new XC-4 H1-Luxe Hybrid golf shoes from footwear stalwart Johnston & Murphy.
The shoes feature a bootie construction that snugly secures your feet via a waterproof neoprene collar. Outside is a top-grain leather upper and a rugged hybrid sole.
Beyond good looks, these shoes feature Smart Degree technology that cools your feet when it’s hot and keeps your feet warm when it’s cold.
The XC-4 ($189; seven colors; johnstonmurphy.com) is comfortable, too, thanks to a multi-density footbed with memory-foam cushioning and shock-absorbing EVA midsole. Lastly, they are dual width, meaning you simply remove the footbed to accommodate a wider foot. These kicks are a winner by any measure.
