What we say:
As you may have guessed, the New Balance 997 Spikeless is pretty much identical to the original NB 997, except it has a spikeless traction system instead of spiked. This Ndurance traction system is absolutely fantastic, with the spikeless version gripping almost as well as the spiked version, with the added benefit of being more versatile on all types of surfaces. What really stuck out about the New Balance 997 SL Golf Shoe was just how cool it looks. It has that hint of retro, which looks awesome. And it's not just all about looks. The NB 997 SL is really comfortable. We love the comfort and responsiveness of the Abzorb midsole, which makes walking the course more than enjoyable. Although it may get a bit warm in hot conditions, the 997 SL does well year-round, even in really wet conditions. While not the most supportive golf shoe out there, the New Balance 997 SL is still pretty solid and gets the job done. We recommend this golf shoe for those who like the retro sneaker vibe along with high comfort and traction.
