As an amateur or professional golfer you have always felt the need to have the proper accessories to play your game right. Apart from hours of training you have noticed that there is that something extra that can come from the right set of golf clubs or clothing which adds a whole new dimension to the way one plays the game.

One of the most overlooked piece of equipment is the all-important golf shoe. When one has to endure hours and hours of wet grass under the summer heat or the shivering cold of winter, one's feet needs to get the maximum possible attention and comfort to keep you going. After all, it is the foot that supports the entire weight of the human body.

While buying golf shoes, keep in mind the material of the shoe, the styling, type, and other factors like presence or absence of spikes. Most golf shoes are made of any of three materials - polyester, leather or gortex.

Leather shoes provide you extra-proofing because of the water repellent nature of leather, apart from the waterproof coating offered by the shoe manufacturer. Leather shoes also have minute pores in them, so that the feet can literally breathe in summer when the feet tends get very hot and perspire a lot. They are ideally suited for playing golf and one of the best types you can buy.

If you facing a financial crisis and would like to go for a cheaper alternative nothing would be more befitting than polyester shoes. Then again, you should preferably go for those polyester shoes that have a non-porous lining.

Shoes made out of the Gortex material are tougher by nature and relatively more expensive than leather or polyester shoes. It is well suited for all types of weather conditions, preventing your feet from getting wet or stopping the formation of blisters.

There are basically three designs of golf shoe available to you. First among them is the classic golf shoe. But be sure to check out the weight and waterproofing of the shoe.

Next in line is the relatively inexpensive sandal. The sandal has the fringe benefits of being open on all sides and it is sure to fit your feet properly.

The boot golf shoe is least available and is not suited for most feet. It is more expensive, offers traction for bad weather and best suited for those golf courses that are infamous for their warmth and humidity.

There are shoes specially designed so that they do not damage the grass of the golf court. Again, you have to remember that these come at a high price.

Spikes make a whole lot of difference to your show wearing experience. The ones with soft spikes are most preferred by golfers, as they are not too hard on the grass and can be worn in the club area. The shoes with hard spikes provide better traction but they are generally less comfortable than most other golf shoes.

You should prioritize and be sure of what demands you'll put on the shoe. Whether you will roam around the course in the shoes on your feet or travel mostly by your golf cart. Then and only then will you be able to select the right shoe.
