Pushing the boundaries of performance and style, the Puma PROADAPT ALPHACAT Golf Shoes combines a new multi-durometer traction system with premium technologies to give you the Alpha of all spikeless shoes.

On the sole, the contrast of the grey and orange lugs is a nice eye-catching feature which you get glimpses of whilst walking or in the follow through, as well as providing a handy visual indication of where Puma's traction technology is helping you out. This creates a platform above the sole of the shoe which provides impact resistance and energy return whilst still retaining ground feel.A shoe design that looks very much like a trainer, we recently put the model through its paces. First things first the Adapt Foam, a combination of EVA cushioning and an impact resistant polymer, creates a firm feeling shoe whilst still being comfortable. This shoe does not fall into the trap of being too soft. Nothing particularly stood out as being brilliant but neither was there anything which posed any distraction out on the golf course, and I think you'd take that from your golf shoes. Puma have been one of the major players in keeping this trend going in recent years, as they have a wide range of models available which blur the lines between casual, fashion-conscious trainers and functional golf shoes. The best golf shoes above are split into spiked (or cleated) and spikeless designs and there are pros and cons of each. Spiked golf shoes offer better grip and stability but don't sit as low to the ground as spikeless models.

The shoes passed the waterproof test in damp conditions where there was rain around, although I probably wouldn't choose to go out in them if it was raining as the mesh section around the top of the foot could be a little liable to getting wet. The reason for this is because golf shoe technology is so good these days that golfers can experience the relaxed, lightweight comfort that these shoes offer, without losing out on traction or support in comparison to a spiked option. Many players choose to have one pair for winter and another, lighter pair for summer to keep them fresh and suit different requirements. PUMA golf shoes include performance-enhancing features designed to improve your game. Our revolutionary IGNITEFOAM midsole provides maximum energy-return and responsive comfort, while our proprietary studded sole system offers 3-dimensional traction to ensure peak-performance throughout the full 18 holes. Play your best round in comfort and style with golf shoes and trainers from PUMA. Spikeless golf shoes have been one of golf's biggest success stories over the last decade or so. No matter where you are in the world or what time of the year you are there, you'll see golfers teeing it up wearing spikeless shoes.

The multi-material PROADAPT outsole combines a high-durometer, abrasion resistant TPU perimeter chassis that provides a stable underfoot feel with multiple shapes of lugs providing excellent ground-gripping traction. Centralised Crystal Rubber engineered in an anatomic shape for an easy heel-to-toe ride provides grip on any surface protecting you from slipping while on the course, the clubhouse, and anywhere in between. If you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain then a waterproof shoe is a must. The best designs will keep your feet bone dry however if you play golf in glorious sunshine most of the time, then you may view other factors as more significant.

PUMA Golf introduces its new PROADAPT ALPHACAT Golf Shoes, designed to provide players with the “Alpha” of all spikeless shoes, the new design combines exceptional performance and hi-tech materials with PUMA’s trademark fashion-forward aesthetic, making the ALPHACAT the new standard in the premium, spikeless golf shoe category. Having said that, the new upper was firmer than in the Pwradapt Caged and this then provided a nice balance between a shoe that is ideal for use during the summer when the weather is better, but still gives you the support that you need. Spikeless golf shoes offer off-course versatility. They are perfect for driving in the car to the golf course, playing a round, and then driving home again because they are usually light and comfortable, but most won't offer as much traction as a spiked shoe. When trying a pair on for the first time, listen for the 'whoosh' sound when you slide your feet in - that's the sound of all the air leaving the shoe to confirm it is the correct size, but do a walking test to be sure. They shouldn't pinch anywhere, nor should your feet be moving around inside.The Proadapt outsole not only looks cool but also does an important job of providing traction on both soft and hard surfaces due to the two distinct patterns.
