By Australian Golf Digest

The best golf shoes fit the specific needs of female golfers of all levels better than ever before. 

Now more than ever, companies are designing golf shoes for the specific needs of female golfers of all levels – not just shrinking the men’s version and making it pink. Women no longer have to choose between a golf shoe that fits their game or one that fits their look. Following the increase in demand for stylish women’s golf shoes that are packed with performance technology, footwear companies are stepping up to fill the void women have been struggling with for years. Here are the best women’s golf shoes available in Australia in 2023. 

ADIDAS WOMEN’S ZG23 & ZG23 BOA

The midsole’s perimeter is firmer than the centre to increase lateral support. It’s made from a combination of the two most recent Adidas running shoe midsoles, which combine responsiveness for the action of the swing with cushioning for the comfort of the walk. Bonus: the upper is made from at least 50 percent recycled content.

ASICS WOMEN’S GEL COURSE ACE

Traction elements are segmented on the spikeless outsole to provide the optimal mix of support and mobility. The outsole also wraps up over the side of the foot to enhance lateral stability. Cushioning comes from gel in the rearfoot and a lightweight foam in the midsole.

ASICS WOMEN’S GEL GLIDE

The lightweight Flytefoam midsole provides responsive cushioning to stabilise the foot during the swing and provide resilient comfort while walking. Gel in the rearfoot keys control mid-swing, while the outsole wraps over the outside of the foot for extra lateral stability. Offered in six colours.

ECCO WOMEN’S BIOM G5 BOA

These waterproof shoes have performance leather uppers and a mesh overlay. The upper connects with the midsole for enhanced stability. This shoe is not only spiked but has hybrid sections on the outsole for increased traction and control. The Boa Fit system is on the side, allowing for the perfect closure every time.

ECCO WOMEN’S BIOM C4

This sporty shoe is made of waterproof performance leather and a mesh stretchy sock. The perforation allows for ample airflow with 360 degrees of breathability. The outsole has three different sections for traction, stability and rotational support.

Fresh street style collides with state-of-the-art comfort and performance in the Ecco Golf Tray model. This simple-yet-classic shoe has water-repellant leathers and multi-directional traction to promote better grip.

ECCO WOMEN’S CORE

The Ecco Core is a spikeless, lightweight, water-resistant shoe. It is made from a premium mix of leathers with perforations to promote breathability. The unique outsole offers multi-directional traction and has slightly larger traction bars in high impact areas.

FOOTJOY WOMEN’S HYPERFLEX

This athletic golf shoe is designed with walking rounds in mind. Foam lines the underfoot to absorb shock and return energy, ankle padding keeps the heel in place, and a thermoplastic saddle provides a balanced amount of stability in the swing – without sacrificing flexibility for walking comfort.

Inspired by traditional and refined golf styles of the past, FootJoy created this upscale shoe with luxe full-grain leather uppers but with modernised traction elements, cushioning and support.

NIKE WOMEN’S AIR JORDAN 1 LOW G

Worn by one of Nike’s most recently added ambassadors, Nelly Korda, the Air Jordan 1 Low G golf shoe is a low profile and stylish golf shoe that’ll add style to any look. Air cushioning at the underfoot provides comfort and energy return on every step, while the traction pattern will secure the feet during the swing and prevent slippage.
