Golf shoe rules require closed-toe, secure footwear with non-damaging soles, which means soft spikes or spikeless outsoles that protect greens and fairways while providing enough traction to prevent slipping during your swing. Most courses prohibit metal spikes, open-toe shoes, sandals, boots, and anything unstable, emphasizing performance, safety, and course preservation. Modern spikeless options like PAYNTR Golf Shoes meet all dress codes while giving players lightweight cushioning, waterproof protection, and engineered grip, making them ideal for both competitive and casual golfers who want comfort without sacrificing course compliance.
