Introduction

I’ve recently been hearing a lot about barefoot golf shoes and the benefits they can offer—especially in terms of comfort and allowing a more natural foot movement during the swing. It’s gotten me really intrigued. I’m all for finding ways to enhance my game, and I think the right shoes could make a difference.

What I’m Looking For

I’m on the hunt for some insights and recommendations that can help me make a decision here. Specifically, I’m interested in:

  • Brands to Consider: I’ve come across TRUE Linkswear and Vivo Barefoot quite a bit. Are there any other brands that are worth looking into?
  • Personal Experiences: If you have these shoes, how do they perform on the course? Do you feel more stable or comfortable?
  • Pros and Cons: What are the standout features? Are there any downsides I should be aware of?
  • Price Points: I’d love to know if these shoes are worth the price. Are they comparable to traditional golf shoes in terms of value?

Conclusion

I’m excited to hear your thoughts! If you’ve made the switch to barefoot golf shoes or are even considering it, what has been your experience? Any advice you can share would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your replies!

I’m really enjoying my VivoBarefoot golf shoes! They’re incredibly comfortable and have great flexibility on the course. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for barefoot options!

I usually wear Skechers for golfing. They’re surprisingly supportive for a brand that focuses on casual shoes. I noticed good traction and comfort during my rounds.

I’ve heard great things about VivoBarefoot! Do they hold up well against wear and tear?

5

My VivoBarefoot shoes have lasted a full season without any major signs of wear! Just make sure to clean them after muddy rounds.

Has anyone tried the New Balance Minimus golf shoes? I’m curious about their performance and comfort since I love their running shoes.

I tried the New Balance Minimus, and they felt great! The only downside was a bit less grip on wet grass compared to others. Overall, a solid pick!

Thanks for the insight! I’d love to hear more about different brands if anyone’s tried them.

You guys are making me consider trying barefoot shoes. I’m currently using Adidas, and they are pretty good, but I always wondered about barefoot styles.

I used to wear Adidas too! They are fine, but once I switched to barefoot shoes, I felt much more connected to the ground. It’s like a game changer for footwork.

Interesting point! Is it just me, or do barefoot shoes make a noticeable difference in swing stance?

12

Absolutely! My swing feels much more stable now. I can definitely attribute that to the barefoot feel of my shoes. Trust me, you won’t look back!

13

Just a suggestion, but I find that getting a pair with removable insoles allows you to customize the fit! I swear by mine after years of golf.

14

That’s a great tip! I never thought about removable insoles for barefoot shoes before. Thanks for sharing!

I’m still on the fence about barefoot shoes. Aren’t they too minimalist for those who have foot issues? I worry about lack of support.

16

Barefoot shoes can be great for people with foot problems, too! It really depends on the individual’s needs and how well they adapt. Just make sure to ease into it!

17

Haha, I’ve actually seen people wearing socks with their barefoot shoes. Talk about innovative! But we should probably stick to normal shoe policies on the course.

18

Good point! Maybe they were trying to make a fashion statement… or just really cold feet!

I’ve recently switched to barefoot golf shoes, and the improved ground feel is amazing! I can really sense the terrain beneath my feet, which helps with my balance and swing. Highly recommend giving them a try!

That’s great to hear! I’m curious, how do they feel compared to traditional golf shoes during a full round?
