This latest group features five compelling new options from FootJoy, Sun Day Red, Nike, Payntr and TRUE Linkswear.

FootJoy has thoroughly reworked its popular Pro/SL and it’s better than ever. The new Z-TEC upper is engineered to provide flexibility where the foot needs to move and added structure where it needs support. Underneath, the ARCTrax/SL outsole uses strategically placed traction elements to create tour-level grip without traditional spikes. A firm EVA forefoot and nylon spring plate add stability and energy return, while a StratoFOAM heel pad, padded ankle collar and OrthoLite FitBed help keep the shoe comfortable during walking rounds. It is also backed by a two-year waterproof warranty.
1 thing we really like: The wider, rounder toe box gives the toes more room to spread out in one of the most comfortable golf shoes we’ve seen.

Nike Victory Pro 4
Nike built the Victory Pro 4 around a new Fly Wing support structure connecting the upper and midsole. It creates a firm surface for the golfer to push against during the downswing, helping the foot remain stable as speed increases. A Dynamic Fit system adds adjustable support along both sides of the foot, while the Cushlon foam midsole and internal foam collar provide sneaker-like comfort. A soft synthetic-leather upper delivers a consistent fit, and the nine-spike outsole supplies dependable traction when the course gets wet or the lie becomes uneven.
1 thing we really like: The Fly Wing addresses the lateral forces of the golf swing instead of simply adding stiffness throughout the entire shoe. This is what athletic performance is supposed to look and feel like.
Unlock your swing speed in the Victory Pro 4. Using insights from greats who go all-out, we created an all-new Fly Wing, which helps you push off in your downswing for optimal speed and maintain stability through your finish. It’s made to help you stay on top of the platform as you go for the green. Details: Supple synthetic leather is soft to the touch and offers a consistent fit. Cushion foam midsole provides the right level of comfort and stability. The internal foam collar offers sneaker-like comfort.
