Who doesn’t love a parade? Me, actually.
But I do enjoy walking a golf course in fashionable footwear. This week, that means red, white and blue golf shoes. Here are four options we like and you might too.
Puma
Ignite Elevate 2 X Volition Spikeless Golf Shoes, $150
“Tortional rigidity.” That’s a term I hadn’t heard before I came across these kicks. It describes the comfort and support you get from shoes that minimize unnecessary movement, preventing slipping and sliding as you turn. That’s a nice trait. The color scheme and lightweight build are nifty, too.
PUMA Ignite Elevate 2 x Volition Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes
Honor the home of the brave with every swing and step. The IGNITE Elevate 2 x Volition collaboration protects your midfoot, providing better torsional rigidity and minimal movement to liberate your most powerful, patriotic swing. Details: IGNITE FOAM FLOATPLATE PWRSADDLE CRYSTAL RUBBER 1-YEAR WATERPROOF SKU: 311280

Add with a fully waterproof upper (thank you, superhydrophobic coating) and a breathable upper, and you’ve got a red, white and blue shoe that performs as well as it looks.

If your dogs are barking, these comfy shoes should quiet them down, thanks to foam cushioning that is both supportive and shock-absorbing. And because wet dogs are unpleasant, there’s also this: newly added waterproof mesh that keeps moisture out, even when you’re playing a dewy morning round.
