Women's Shoes: Look Good While You Golf

Women's golf shoes are an important part of women's golf attire. They are built in women's sizes and are ideally suited for their sense of style. All the big name athletic equipment manufacturers have a label that is especially geared toward them.

Some Important Design Attributes

Women's golf shoes that are designed well with have certain design attributes that make them not only very functional but also make them fit well and comfortable. Golfing requires a lot of walking so there should be some attributes that are geared toward making walking comfortable. It would definitely impair someone's game if all they could do was think about their discomfort.

A good golf shoe will have a leather upper that is the top part of the shoe will be leather. Leather is perfect for breath ability and stretching to conform to the shape of the foot. The sole of the shoe can be made from rubber; it will have ample traction with cleats. The shape of the sole of the shoe will be somewhat ergonomic and will have a gentle slope up from the heel to the center of the shoe and again a gentle slope from the toe back to the center of the shoe.

The shoe will close either by tying, elastic band or by Velcro closure. The fit should be snug with ample room for the toes to move around. Box toed is the best type of shoe, because it will not pinch or cramp toes together.

Styles

These shoes are offered in a variety of color variations, with different stitching and different materials. Most of these types of athletic shoes are made with a leather upper, in some styles the upper is of a man made material. The shoes that are manufactured with leather uppers are typically more expensive than the shoes with a manmade upper. There are box toed models, pointed toe models and round toed models. It is largely left up to individual preference as to what type of shoe you prefer.

Prices

The price of a good women's golf shoe will largely depend on a couple of factors. Designer name plays a huge roll in driving prices up, although quality that is associated with the designer brand is largely responsible as well. A good quality shoe is usually produced by one of the sports designers. The prices range from around $70 to up into the hundreds of dollars. The higher end shoes may or may not be of better quality and more comfortable. Reading consumer reviews is one of the best ways to gather information as to what is comfortable and durable and what is not.
