Men's Golf Gear

Golf shoes must deliver traction during the swing, comfort during extended walks, and grip on wet morning grass. Both adidas and Under Armour build golf footwear with technologies designed for all three demands.

adidas golf shoe technologies:

• Boost cushioning: The same energy-returning midsole used in adidas running and basketball shoes, adapted for golf. Boost absorbs impact during walking and provides a stable, responsive platform during the swing. Over 18 holes, the cushioning reduces foot fatigue compared to standard golf shoe midsoles.

• Continental Rubber outsole: Borrowed from the tire manufacturer, Continental Rubber outsoles grip wet grass, dewy fairways, and slick tee boxes. This is the same rubber compound used in adidas soccer and running shoes, proven for wet-surface traction.

• Spiked and spikeless options: adidas offers both traditional spiked golf shoes with replaceable soft spikes and spikeless models with textured rubber outsoles. Spiked shoes provide maximum grip on hilly or wet courses. Spikeless shoes offer versatility, comfort, and a cleaner look that transitions from course to clubhouse.

• Primeknit upper: A breathable, stretchy knit construction that conforms to the foot. Primeknit golf shoes are lighter than leather models and offer superior breathability during warm-weather rounds.

Under Armour golf shoe technologies:

• HOVR cushioning: UA's flagship cushioning technology provides a "zero gravity feel" that reduces impact during walking. HOVR absorbs and returns energy, keeping your legs fresh through the back nine when fatigue typically affects shot quality.

• Storm waterproofing: Select UA golf shoes incorporate Storm water-repellent treatments to keep feet dry during wet rounds. This is particularly valuable for morning golfers who play through dew-covered fairways.

• Rotational Resistance outsole: A traction pattern designed for the rotational forces of the golf swing. The outsole grips during backswing rotation and follow-through while allowing a smooth weight transfer from back foot to front foot.

Choose spiked shoes for wet or hilly courses where maximum grip matters. Choose spikeless for everyday play, range sessions, and courses where you walk between holes on paved paths. Browse [golf shoes](/collections/golf-shoes) for the complete selection.

Golf apparel must look professional enough for club dress codes while performing well enough for 4-5 hours of outdoor athletic activity. Both adidas and Under Armour build golf clothing that meets both standards.

adidas golf apparel technologies:

• AEROREADY moisture management: Found in golf polos, pants, and layering pieces. AEROREADY channels sweat away from the skin during warm rounds, keeping the fabric lighter and the golfer drier. This is especially useful during summer rounds when temperatures climb through the back nine.

• RAIN.RDY: Water-resistant outerwear designed for golf. RAIN.RDY jackets block rain while maintaining breathability, so you can continue playing through a passing shower without overheating. The stretch construction allows a full swing without restriction.

• Stretch fabric pants and shorts: adidas golf pants use stretch-woven fabrics that allow a full range of motion during the swing while maintaining a clean, tailored look that meets course dress codes. The waistband sits comfortably during walking and bending.

Under Armour golf apparel technologies:

• Iso-Chill: Cooling fabric with titanium-infused fibers that pull heat away from the skin. Iso-Chill polos feel noticeably cooler to the touch, making them the top choice for golfers who play in high heat. The fabric maintains its cooling properties throughout the round.

• Storm outerwear: Water-repellent jackets and vests for wet-weather golf. Storm fabric causes rain to bead and roll off while maintaining breathability. Essential gear for any golfer who plays year-round or in unpredictable weather.

• HeatGear base layers: Lightweight, sweat-wicking compression or loose-fit base layers worn under polos during cold-weather rounds. HeatGear manages moisture while a warmer outer layer provides insulation.

A smart golf wardrobe includes 3-4 polos in rotation, 2 pairs of golf pants, 1 pair of golf shorts, and a weather-ready outer layer. Layer a [performance polo](/collections/mens-polos) with a quarter-zip for shoulder-season rounds when temperatures fluctuate.
