What we say:
As we've come to expect from New Balance Fresh Foam golf shoes, the Fresh Foam Contend brings the feel of a running/walking shoe to the golf course. Not only does it bring this lightweight comfort, but it throws in golf-specific performance that makes it one of the best sport/athletic style golf shoes out there. Our favorite feature of the Fresh Foam Contend is its comfort. It really is noticeable over an 18 hole round, which doesn't leave your feet feeling fatigued at all. The spikeless traction system is great in that it performs brilliantly on the course, yet is comfortable and versatile enough for walking throughout the day on any type of surface. It's always a challenge trying to combine breathability and waterproofing, but the Fresh Foam Contend does this really well, allowing for it to be worn year-round. We recommend the NB Fresh Foam Contend for those who don't like spending a fortune on golf shoes, yet still demand high performance, versatility and durability.
