We have already established about how important the feet roll are throughout the golf swing and therefore the type of the golf shoe that you use has to be important as well. So many people who will go out and buy a new driver if they are looking for more distance and yet people looking for more consistent golf swings will not spend the same type of money and will not invest as much time in researching what shoes they are putting on their feet.

As we have already covered it is where you are drawing all your power from, so your feet need to be stable. Generally speaking if you are fond of using cleats, so you are fond of using spikes, hard spikes, metal spikes really are now being left in the past. Most of all professionals whom you will see are using the plastic studs or no studs at all. Technology has moved on to the extent where metal spikes just are not necessary any more. The new golf shoes with this plastic spikes, plastic cleats and the technology which is going into them is far superior than the more classic looking shoes which are out there, which were out there 10 and 20 years ago. The spike less shoes are very interesting concept as well, a lot of these shoes can have enough grip to really mimic what a cleated shoes will give you. The real key is getting yourself properly fit for them, getting the right size, getting the right width, getting the right amounts of comfort levels and last but not least you need to make sure that they are clean. It is amazing how many golfers will lose balance throughout the swing, see their feet slipping around, look at the bottom of their shoe and suddenly find half an acre of grass clamped to the bottom of it. You need to make sure that the shoes are clean on the bottom so they have the amount of traction when you are shifting through a lot of body weight and a lot of [indiscernible] [0:02:02] speed through the shot. So move away more from the metal spikes, get on to the plastic cleat, get on to the spike less shoes as well during the summer because they are comfortable and they grip just as much. And please make sure that they are clean when you are hitting your shots. 2016-09-01
