The runners up for me are the Adidas Tour 360 2024s, which probably isn’t that unsurprising given that these were my favorite shoes of last year and they’ve already been pretty well represented in the earlier categories. To sum them up, I think you’re getting really impressive levels of comfort from these shoes, both in terms of underfoot as well as the soft upper and the improved heel and ankle design. You’re getting some top levels of stability and performance out on the course. And I think they just look like a classy shoe. They’re modern. They’ve got some really nice pops of color, but they’re going to be able to be worn with pretty much anything that you want to style them with out on the course. And the fact that they’re still current, but they’re over a year old means that you can get some pretty good deals in the sales. But for me, the overall winner this year has to be the Painter 87 SC’s. For me, this shoe does the best job of combining seriously impressive levels of comfort, but still managing to be a really stable shoe. And on top of that, I think this looks absolutely class as a golf shoe. It’s got a little bit more of a classic style while still looking modern as well. Again, it’s one of those shoes that I think you can pair pretty much with any outfit that you want to wear. It is as well really quite surprisingly lightweight and I love the fact that you really sit deep in these shoes and feel connected to the ground. The nitrogen infused midsole is surprisingly soft and comfortable underfoot. The booty design means it’s got a fantastic level of waterproofness as well. And you’ve got some just classy touches in terms of the style and design choices on this shoe. Yes, it’s slightly more on the expensive side, so that could be a factor for you. But in terms of the looks, design, comfort, and performance, the Painter 87 SC’s are the winner this year for me. Let me know if you agree or if you have a different favorite Spike shoe for this year. And I appreciate that I haven’t managed to review every pair of shoes, so let me know what I’ve missed out that you really love.
