AdiPURE Golf Shoes Review

In my opinion golf shoes are one of the most important pieces of equipment a golfer will purchase. As someone who walks the majority of my rounds, it’s even more important for me. After wearing Footjoys for the previous 8 seasons, I decided it was time to change things up.

After doing some research and trying on several shoes from various companies, I settled on the AdiPURE golf shoes by Adidas. In my opinion, it was the most comfortable shoes I tried on and still had a classic look to it. Many of the golf shoes now look more like sneakers, something I wasn't ready to take on for my number one pair. 

What I Like About The AdiPURE Golf Shoes

When I look at golf shoes I look for three things: comfort, functionality, and style. These might seem obvious but I've seen people buy less comfortable shoes just because they look a little better. If you're walking a golf course for five hours, you want to be comfortable. 

The moment I put on the AdiPURE golf shoes I knew comfort wouldn't be an issue. The soft leather and cushioned sole put it at the top of my list. I had never had a true leather shoe before and it's probably because I didn't want to spend $250 on golf shoes. I now understand why people do. I did experience some out of the box comfort but now that I have worn them for several rounds and they have broken in, the comfort is unlike anything I have ever felt in a golf shoe.

The next thing I look for is functionality. When you look at and try on a shoe in the store it's tough to tell if how great they will be on the golf course. Yes, I do the same thing everyone else does when I try them on, I pretend I'm swinging. I don't believe for a second this helps me decide but I still do it. I'm happy to say the AdiPure golf shoes are very low to the ground, something that helps my stability. The 10 "ThinTech" spikes do a great job gripping the ground in my swing, sometimes to good. While playing in wet conditions these spikes picked up so much dirt and grass I needed to clean the bottom of my shoes rather frequently to prevent slipping. When clean, they are great. 

Finally, it's the style. When I walk into a shoe store and see 75 different pairs of shoes on the wall, I'm obviously going to pick up one that I'm attracted to. Some people don't like the stripes on the side of the Adidas. Personally, I think it's sharp and I was drawn to these. As you can see from the picture above I went with the black and white. I've always worn black golf shoes and wasn't willing to move onto white yet. They did offer a white with brown stripes and a white with black stripes too. Both are sharp, just not for me. 

Overall

The AdiPURE golf shoe exceeded all my requirements for a golf shoe. They are extremely comfortable, provide stability and the ThinTech Cleat does a great job keeping my feet in place when I swing. The final part is the style and in my opinion, they pass the test here. I think they are a good looking golf shoe.

Excellent review. I always go for the shoe which catches my eye the most. Sometimes it doesn't work out that it's actually the most comforable. Now that I am trying to walk more courses instead of taking a cart, I'm trying to gear my equipment more towards walking. These shoes look great and if they are as comfortable as you say then they are definitely something I will try out

Thanks! I think these shoes are great and was happy to write about them. Looking forward to sharing more exciting products in the weeks to come!

Those soles look awesome. I wonder if I can just attach those spikes on my fave Taos shoes, though.

These are by far the most comfortable golf shoe I have ever owned. I bought an all white pair four years ago after a tournament in western mass and have worn them ever since. The spikes tend to last quite a long time which is nice knowing that you don't have to flip spikes in and out all of the time. One problem I did have with the AdiPURE is that when I purchased these, I did not realize they were the tour addition. The spikes in these shoes are unique and have to be the same spike when putting new ones in. Regardless what it says on the back of a box of spikes they will not fit in the tour version. The only way to get spikes into these shoes is too send them back to Adidas and have them do it. That being said, I do think these are truly the best golf shoes on the market even though they are priced extremely high. The quality is there so I would recommend to anyone that is in the market for new golf shoes and isn't afraid to spend the money, these are a must buy.

Thank you for commenting Ian! Just wore these for a few wet rounds on our golf trip and they were great (as usual). Highly recommend for comfort and functionality.

Thank you for the insight on the replacement spikes, good for everyone to know.
