Editor’s picks: 5 best shoes to wear to and from the course

Golf shoes have come a long way over the years. They are arguably the most stylish pieces of course-ready apparel made today. From spiked to spikeless and trendy to traditional, you can tell a lot about a person by what they wear on their feet. That goes for what golfers wear to and from the course, too.

When a locker room is available, there’s a stigma about changing your shoes in the parking lot. Do you know why that stigma exists? No, it’s not because your buddies want to avoid the attendant tip. If it is, don’t accept the invite. The real reason is that your pals are embarrassed about being seen with their off-course footwear.

Don’t overlook what’s going on your feet before the first tee and after the 18th green. Keep it simple! Slip on, slip off. Your feet will thank you and let’s be honest, they could probably use a breather. If you’re going to be on a country club patio for an after-round drink, stick with something closed soul to maintain a business casual look. For your local muni, rock those sandals.

These are the 5 best pairs of shoes available in GOLF’s Pro Shop.
