Ranking the 10 Best Golf Shoes of 2025

Another year is winding down, and the winter months are forcing most golfers indoors. Until the temperatures rise again, we will have to rely on our memories of sun-drenched days on the course to keep us warm.

It was an exciting year for golf fans, and an even better time for footwear enthusiasts in the sport. All of the major sportswear brands brought the heat with a mix of new and retro performance models.

After testing many of the new models (and little improvement in my game to show for it), here are Sports Illustrated's Kicks On SI's ten best new golf shoes of 2025 based on performance, style, and what they brought to the sport.
