Words: Alexandra O’Laughlin
“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world” - and the
golf course. Marilyn Monroe said it first, but I’ll co-sign it. In golf, your shoes are more than just a part of the outfit, they’re key
to performance, comfort, and confidence. From rainy links rounds to après-golf hangs, there’s a perfect shoe for every setting. Let’s
break down my favourite styles for wherever the game takes you.
I am definitely a G/FORE girlie! I love their bold pops of colour, the ever-evolving designs, and the wide variety of styles they offer for every kind of player. Their latest release, the MG4+ O2 G/LOCK is their newest release and first women’s shoe with spikes. While I typically lean toward spikeless shoes for their versatility (on and off the course), there’s no denying the performance benefits of spikes, especially when it comes to traction and dispersion.

The Jimmy Choo x Malbon Capsule collection instantly caught my attention. The crown jewel, the Women’s Diamond Golf Shoe, is chic, sculptural, and unapologetically bold with the addition of the kiltie. These are the kind of shoes you build an outfit (or an entire tee time) around. At $850, they’re an investment, but considering they’ll likely be sold out by the time you’re done reading this, you won’t have to go through justifying the splurge. Golf fashion is having a moment, and this collab is leading the charge! Keep an eye out for the upcoming collaborations that Malbon frequently drops.
Pack these shoes for your Scottish or Irish adventures! The ECCO Golf BIOM H5 is a performance shoe made for nature’s most unpredictable conditions. The GORE-TEX waterproof membrane keeps your feet dry, while ECCO Performance Leather adds warmth and durability. A one-piece engineered knit sock provides a seamless, cushioned fit, and the supportive arch design was a game-changer for my plantar fasciitis. After seven miles on course? No blisters, just comfort.

New Balance has quietly earned its spot as the go-to brand for the effortless cool-girl, and the 327 Golf Shoe is no exception. With golf style leaning more casual and comfort-driven, this pair hits the sweet spot. Designed for the girl who grabs a matcha before her tee time and keeps plans after the round, the 327 transitions seamlessly from fairway to farmer’s market. Sporty, versatile, and subtly statement-making…this is your wear-anywhere golf shoe.

The FootJoy Traditions in white were my go-to growing up. Timeless, comfortable, and effortlessly clean. They paired with everything and quietly defined my early golf style: a mix of trend and tradition. Today, the classic silhouette is more versatile than ever, with full customisation options that let you choose your favourite colours and even add a monogram or logo for a personalised touch of polish.
