Detailed Review
When it comes to comfort, the adidas Ultraboost Golf Shoes truly shine. The combination of the PRIMEKNIT upper and BOOST technology offers a soft yet responsive feel that keeps your feet energized throughout your rounds. You’ll appreciate how the shoes hug your foot without feeling restrictive, allowing for natural movement during your swing.
Stability is another area where these shoes excel. The internal Torsion System provides a solid foundation, especially when you're on uneven ground. This thoughtful design feature enhances your confidence in every shot, contributing to a more enjoyable golfing experience.
The versatility of the spikeless outsole can’t be overstated. Whether you’re hitting the driving range or heading out for a casual outing post-golf, you won’t have to swap shoes. This adaptability makes them a great addition to any golfer's wardrobe.
Moreover, the commitment to sustainability is commendable. Knowing that your shoes are made from recycled materials adds an extra layer of satisfaction to your purchase. However, the limited color selections might not cater to everyone’s aesthetic preferences, and the higher price could deter budget-conscious buyers.

User Reviews
I have been using these shoes just about everywhere I go, from a trip to the grocery store to a walk around the neighborhood and they have performed great in all conditions. I found that they fit to size fairly well. My feet are a bit wider so I had to spend some time loosening up the laces to get a good fit and gave it a few days to stretch out a bit, but since then they have fit great. The boost material that the shoe gets its name from is the white foam on the bottom of the shoes and I found it provides good support. It compresses just enough to cushion my step and has enough spring to make the next step easier. I also find that you get plenty of grip even on slightly damp grass.Overall, I have been really happy with these shoes, they quickly became my go-to shoes for most casual occasions and I can notice the difference when I wear a different pair.
These shoes are very nice! They look great. They are pretty decent for a golf shoe. I got these as a gift for a family member. The presentation of the shoe box that they arrived in is poor. It’s not suitable looking to present as a gift. That part was the most disappointing to me.
These are some very comfortable shoes!As you would expect from the brand, they are well made, of quality materials. I'm a little surprised (but not upset) by the lack of branding on the shoe- The only place that it says Adidas is on the tongue.The styling is a bit flashy- But personally I like it. They certainly stand out!!The entire upper is one piece. It's very flexible and stretchy to help you get it on, but putting them on can be a little tough. But- Once they are on- The fit is GREAT- And they feel secure even before they are tied. I have a wider foot, but can get in them just fine.The upper is a mesh material, which is good and bad. It's good because it's well ventilated and cool- But it's bad if the grass is wet... Your feet will be wet, too. This also makes them VERY light. You can barely feel them on.They are very "grippy". They give you great traction on virtually any surface, but as you'd expect from golf shoes, they are great in the grass, even when it's wet. The pattern on the bottom of the shoe isn't overly aggressive, so they don't feel out of place when you're not on the course and just walking around.Overall, a nice shoe that's really well made- Perfect for on or off the course!
nice design but they run small.
These are extremely comfortable and look great. They would be a perfect shoe for walking the course, but they have little to no protection from moisture and they offer little stability when swinging a golf club. For a spikeless shoe they grip very well but it feels like you're foot is going to slip off the insole when you swing for the fences. Unfortunately they make a much better street shoe than a golf shoe. Just too expensive to have so many flaws. Reluctantly, I will return them.
This particular pair of adidas is made for golf, but it can also work for day to day activities since it is both comfortable to wear and does not feature spikes or cleats on the base of the shoes. Instead of using spikes or cleats Adidas created a grippy rubber sole that features strategically placed raised round grips on the base of the sole. Due to the design of the sole and the use of the grippy rubber flat rounds, the shoes seem to grip in place which is the function of a spikes or cleats on the base of golf shoes. The reason a golf shoe has cleats is to keep the golfer from slipping or making any negligible movements while swinging the golf club at the tee. The shoes also feature some eco friendly processes in the making of the shoes, the upper woven yarn portion of the shoes is made of a mixture of 50% Parley Ocean Plastic and 50% Recycled Polyester. When it comes to Adidas sizing, I seem to always need to order a half size and sometimes a whole size up depending on the shoe model compared to other brands. The shoes look nicer in person than in the product photos and are comfortable.Overall the shoes look nice, they are comfortable and the soles are grippy which is good for Golf.
I got these for my husband as he has a hard time with golf shoes due to a bunion. He said these are so comfortable on - the shoe bed is soft and "squishy", they have good grip, and they fir really well. He did spray them with some waterproofing spray as they are not waterproof.
