PUMA Men's Rs-g Golf Shoe

Product Information

Our golf shoe testing methodology revolves around putting models to the test over a number of rounds and in different conditions. This is so we can gain a better idea of overall performance in terms of factors like grip comfort, grip, stability, waterproofing and how they actually look on the golf course.Each of the shoes listed above has been personally used by a member of the Golf Monthly team. Fergus Bisset, freelancer Age: 40 Handicap: 3 Preferred shoe style: Traditional spiked Would you wear these shoes? No Verdict: I would struggle to feel serious on the golf course wearing shoes that look like they should be paired with an old-school shell suit. Not for me. The GS-Fast comes with a wide rubber outsole that is littered with a ton of small rubber studs. That means these shoes are better used as a summer golf shoe but still performed very well in slightly soft autumnal conditions with their grippy outsole providing solid traction on the turf. They are also completely waterproof and are very easy to wipe down after your round. When it comes to the right fit it is also worth considering different laces. Normal laces are good for most but for some golfers, BOA laced shoes provide more convenient fastening and shouldn’t loosen during the course of a round, but are usually a tad more expensive.

Michael Weston, freelancer Age: 40 Handicap: 12 Preferred shoe style: Spikeless Would you wear these shoes? No Verdict: If I were 20 years younger, I might have considered wearing them - not now. Only certain players (young, trend setters) will be able to pull this style off, I imagine.Dom Smith, videographer Age: 24 Handicap: 14 Preferred shoe style: Spikeless Would you wear them? Yes Verdict: These are shoes I could easily see myself wearing all day long, not just for a round of golf. I'm not a fan of the white and grey colour but would definitely look at the other colour options available.

These comments highlight how looks play such an important part in decision making when it comes to shoes as well as the limitations in terms of the appropriate environment for them to be seen. You can be as young and bold as you like, but if you turn up wearing the RS-G at a very traditional, historic golf club you may well be swiftly shown the exit. Thankfully modern golf shoe design has seen many brands not just create traditional, classic-looking shoes, but also modern styles that can be used off the golf course too. Therefore it is important to think about what your shoes look like and what style suits you. Whatever you like or dislike, there is something for everyone these days. FAQs Are Puma good golf shoes?

Articulation geometry is behind the somewhat quirky name of the latest spiked shoe from Puma. The new technology allows the shoe to move with your foot while still providing a strong level of support. In practice, it works brilliantly and the shoes were a pleasure to play golf in. The styling is subtle but smart and Puma’s Ignite Foam provides a good amount of comfort and energy return in the midsole. 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. Bill Elliott, columnist Age: 75 Handicap: 18 Preferred shoe style: More traditional but always spikeless Would you wear them? No Verdict: The Puma RS-G are clearly not aimed at me and rightly so as I would not be drawn to them although my sons say they would be very likely to try them. Many players choose to have one pair for winter and another, lighter pair for summer to keep them fresh and suit different requirements. PUMA have always been a front runner when pushing the boundaries to design trendy yet functional golf shoes and the GS-Fast, an update on their much talked about RS-G Golf Shoes, certainly continues that trend. These are a statement shoe for those players wanting to complete a streetwear look on the course. Admittedly these shoes will not be everyone's cup of tea and we did get several comments about them from playing partners and other members of the golf course when we first tested them out.

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.Mike Harris, editor Age: 49 Handicap: 9 Preferred shoe style: Sporty spikeless Would you wear them? Yes Verdict: As a huge trainer fan I like the styling that is inspired by genuine street footwear. In a golf context, I think these are a real statement shoe and I’m not afraid to wear standout items with an appropriate outfit in the right setting.

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. This is the best way of testing a golf shoe as using it in the real world over a number of weeks allows us to see how they perform when variables change like weather, ground conditions, different stances and lies, and so on. Neil Tappin, digital editor Age: 39 Handicap: 5 Preferred shoe style: Spikeless but fairly traditional Would you wear these shoes? No Verdict: I think they look pretty good and I can imagine them being popular but they too trainer-like for me. (Possibly a bit young as well!)

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.
