No matter how comfortable your golf shoes are, when the final putt drops, you’ll want to swap out your spikes for something more casual.
Long gone (at most golf courses, at least) are the days of changing into dress shoes and a jacket to indulge in post-round frivolities, and that starts with making sure your feet can rest and recover from a long day out on the course.

Allbirds Wool/Tree Runners
Why we like them: Allbirds just launched their first golf shoe, and if you like the Golf Dasher, you’d love to go seamlessly to the OG Allbird, the Runner. You can get these shoes in either wool or eucalyptus (tree) material. Both materials also have that Allbirds wool insoles, which help create that signature Allbirds comfort, with or without socks. If you’re looking for a slip-on style, check out their Lounger in either the wool or “tree” options. These are a favorite among many GOLF staffers.

Nike Free Run
Why we like them: We know you still have a pair of Nike TW ’13 golf shoes lying around, or maybe you just picked up a pair when the Swoosh re-released them earlier this year. Either way, we’re not judging, but we can suggest pairing them with the running shoe they’re based on: the Nike Free Run. The signature of these running shoes are the laser-cut groves which provide superior flexibility, giving you a barefoot feel.

Why we like them: On’s Cloud 5 shoe has some of the softest cushioning on our list. But perhaps the biggest sell is their speed lacing system which allows you to rock your shoes without even tying a knot. These will be on your feet quicker than you can throw the clubs in the car.
