How to Care For Your Golf Shoes

When you invest in a good pair of golf shoes, they can go a long way to improving your game by keeping you grounded during your swing, as well as keeping you as comfortable as possible during the play. Whether you’ve grabbed a bargain with some cheap golf shoes, or you’ve gone for a premium option, you want them to last you as long as possible. Today, we’ll be sharing our pro tips on caring for your golf shoes so they last the distance.

Top Golf Shoe Care Tips

• Aftercare – After your game is finished, don’t just forget about your shoes. Instead, take the time to remove any mud, sand and grass. Wipe down your shoes with soap and warm water to remove debris and prevent the leather from cracking. If you have spikes, unscrew them to remove trapped clumps and use a hard bristled brush along the bottoms of your shoes to remove debris.
• Air Dry – Don’t pack your shoes away as soon as you’ve wiped them down! Leave them out to air dry in a sheltered area. Don’t be tempted to speed up the process with a hair dryer or anything else.
• Replace the Spikes – It makes sense that after a while, the spikes of your golf shoes will begin to wear down. This can wear down the soles of the shoes more quickly so replace with new spikes as soon as you notice excessive wear.
• Care and Condition – Once your shoes are clean and dry, a leather balm or leather protector will help keep your golf shoes in excellent condition. There are plenty of specialists products which are tailored to care for your golf shoes.
• Store Correctly – Once you’ve finished your round of golf, you need to make sure your shoes are stored correctly. Invest in a good quality golf bag which will keep your shoes safe between rounds and prevent bacteria and moisture build up. Remember not to leave your shoes in the car between rounds to avoid them being exposes to extreme temperatures.
