Golf is normally played by professionals and executives to unwind and
take time off from the hassle and bustle of the corporate world.
Golf has been a man's game, with all that metal involved.
Golfers tend to focus more on the clubs, spending time researching and
reading about it before they buy, but not really giving an equal amount
of importance on golf shoes. Playing golf for 3 to 5 hours a game,
walking miles and miles of uneven terrain and exposing oneself to the
blazing sun can be exhausting and painful to the feet.
These factors can contribute to fatigue and may alter your swing form.
It is advisable to wear golf shoes that have a half inch allowance on
the toes so the foot won't be cramped inside.
Normally good golf shoes are tight on the mid and rear foot section
since this is where the balance comes from. Having worn the wrong type
of shoes in playing golf can lead to injury since rubber shoes that are
for running and cross training can be slippery on a wet turf and may
cause the golfer to slip on the follow through. Some golf courses don't
allow these shoes for it can damage the green due to its spikes.
It is important to wear golf shoes that are soft so the feet won't get
swollen after playing the full 18 holes. For beginners, it can be good
to wear cleats with the shoes to provide more grip to the turf for that
needed balance when swinging especially if the turf is wet.
