spiked or spike less golf shoes

Spiked or spike less golf shoes: which is the batter?

Which one is better? Spike or spikeless? Which one should you choose?

Well, spike shoes are shoes with spikes featured on their sole typically made off plastic.

On the other hand, spikeless shoes will have flat outsole instead of spikes. In the place of spike there may have dimples on the sole in a spikeless shoe.

Though spiked shoes are highly designed for wearing in sporting events because they provide more grip and lateral balance than spikeless ones, spikeless shoes can also be used in sporting events like golf.Because they are more authentic, versatile and convenient.

You can get off from your car, go to the course and after course, you can go to the clubhouse without changing a spikeless shoe.

But spiked shoes will not give you that freedom. You can only use them in sporting events for having perfect grip and balance.

Let's find out the differences between both these categories-
