Want your golf shoes to last? Here’s how to take care of them

There’s an old saying about golf shoes: They’re the only piece of equipment — other than your preferred ball — that you use on every swing. So…make 2024 the year you finally invest in an elite pair, like the FootJoy Premier Series Wilcox you see here:

FootJoy Premier Series Wilcox

FootJoy Premier Series Wilcox

The VersaTrax+ outsole is engineered with traction elements to create an outsole that is perfect for on course performance. Translucent rubber traction elements offer a high end look and feel while maximizing traction with each step you take. The unique anti-channeling traction pattern is designed for grip from any lie or angle.
$220 from www.footjoy.com

Like fine wine or a nice automobile, high-end shoes can be an investment, making it even more important to take special steps so they last more than a few seasons. Great looks? Check. Better care: Here’s some expert advice on extending the life of a pricey pair of kicks and turn heads whenever you step on the tee box.

Shoe Care 101

Straight from FootJoy, here are 4 ways to keep a pricey pair of spikes looking new season after season:

1) Keep two pairs in your playing arsenal; properly rotating them basically doubles the life of each.

2) Always use a shoe-horn, which extends the life of the heel-counter area.

3) Never keep your shoes in your car trunk, where high temperatures can quicken a breakdown of materials.

4) Insert cedar shoe trees when storing — a must to maintain shape and manage odor.

5) Stock up on the care products below.
