The best women's golf shoes of 2026

Fifteen women's golf shoes we'd actually wear, from TRUE linkswear's breathable FS-02 to FootJoy's classic Premiere Series.

Published 25 Oct

TRUE linkswear FS-02 Mixed Media

The best women’s golf shoes this year look like shoes you’d wear anyway. Some are sneakers with a golf sole. Others are classic leather shoes with a modern fit. The fifteen below run from our favourite down.

Our pick: TRUE linkswear FS-02 Mixed Media

The FS-02 has a classic sneaker shape and a knitted saddle that lets your feet breathe. It’s wide and comfortable, with water protection where you need it. Wear it on a summer round, then keep it on for lunch.

Light and easy

The SQAIRZ Ultra Tour-Lite is light and stable for a full day on your feet. The Skechers Uno Golf SI is a hands-free slip-on, so there’s no bending down in the car park. The adidas MC80 and Adipower 26 are spikeless shoes for every round.

The retro runners

Running shoes from the 80s and 90s are the big trend in golf footwear. Nike leads it with the Air Pegasus ’89 G and the Pegasus 1 G, both running classics rebuilt with a golf sole.

Clean, white and waterproof

J.Lindeberg’s Bridge is a simple white sneaker in waterproof leather. The Ace High-Top gives the same idea more ankle cover for colder days. The Duca del Cosma Cortona brings a sporty Italian look.

The classics

If you like a golf shoe to look like a golf shoe, start with the FootJoy Premiere Series Bel Air. The Cole Haan ØriginalGrand Saddle and the Daily Sports Carrara take the same idea in a lighter direction. The G/FORE Gallivanter Derby is a limited leather derby that works with tailored trousers. For a precise fit, the FootJoy Pro/SL BOA tightens with a dial.

How to wear them

  • White sneakers go with everything. Keep them clean and they work with skirts, shorts and trousers.
  • Match classic shoes to tailored pieces. A saddle or derby looks best with cropped trousers or a pleated skirt.
  • Pick waterproof for autumn and winter. Wet grass soaks through mesh in minutes.
  • Try them on in the afternoon, when your feet are at their largest.
