A durable, hard-wearing pair of golf shoes is paramount to hitting the links in the damp spring. Brands like FootJoy and G/Fore are well known for making great waterproof styles, but running shoe brands like New Balance and even Nike sometimes have a unique edge on comfort and technology. Adidas is also in this camp, and recently, one of its bestselling golf shoes received a massive discount.
Right now, the Adidas S2G Boa Spikeless Golf Shoes are on sale for as low as $43—up to 61% off the original $110 price tag. These waterproof golf shoes have earned nearly 400 five-star ratings from shoppers who have said they're "perfect for wet-weather play," moving them into a top-5 ranking among bestsellers on Amazon. They're available in light gray and black in sizes ranging from 7 to 15. Though the final price is determined by the combination of color and size, many are still between 35% and 55% off and are still less than on the Adidas website.
These Adidas golf shoes are made with a waterproof textile upper that features at least 50% recycled content and zero virgin polyester. They sit on the brand's Bounce midsole that's earned a reputation for providing all-day comfort, or at least the hours it'll take to hit 18. Underneath, the V-traction tread features multidirectional lugs that'll have you stepping securely even in the rough on a dewy morning. But what sets this golf shoe apart from the similar-looking S2G Spikeless 23 is the dial-based Boa lacing system, which means no dealing with wet laces if you need to tighten your shoes.
With any golf shoe that claims to be waterproof, the first thing you sniff out is how well they block water, but dozens of shoppers have attested that these are the real deal. "Cannot beat these for comfort, fit, and waterproofness," one shopper said. "I've had [everything from] very expensive golf shoes with two-year waterproof warranties to the price value shoes. At one time I even tried Gore-Tex hiking shoes for comfort and waterproofness. But these have been the best, especially for the price."
The comfort of these Adidas golf shoes also impressed shoppers in more ways than one. "The sharpness of the rubber cleats gives you a very sturdy and secure placement no matter the ground pitch or wetness," a shopper detailed. "I bought these as a wet weather alternative to my other golf spikes…I prefer these so much I wear them even when I don't need the waterproofing. I feel like the light color keeps them from absorbing heat, and I never have issues with my feet getting too hot."
With golf season in full swing, having a great pair of waterproof shoes like this one is a must. If you think these are the right ones for you, make sure to grab your size quickly, because they're subject to sell out just as the other color has now that they're heavily discounted.
