    Pros' Golf Shoes

    Which golf shoes do PGA Tour pros use? Which is the most popular golf shoe on the PGA Tour / European Tour? These are two common questions we hear a lot. Interestingly enough, the answers aren't easy to find. Until now. Please allow us to  applaud ourselves for putting all this informatino in one place! Joking aside, this information is useful knowledge, because, well, if the best players in the world wear these shoes, they must be good enough for us. Below you'll find a weekly update of the winner of the tournament that week and which golf shoes they wore. We've also compiled a list of the top 20 golfers in the world, based on the official world golf rankings, and their shoe of choice.

    What Golf Shoes do the Pros Wear?

    Jordan Spieth was the latest winner on the PGA Tour with victory at the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas. He broke his nearly four year winless drought in style, making seven birdies in the final round wearing the Under Armour Spieth 5. We are eagerly awaiting its release to the public, so until then, we have to assume it's going to be at least as good as the Spieth 4. Ladies and gentlemen, here are Jordan Spieth's golf shoes (previous edition that is):

    Since we're shoe nerds, we couldn't just put up a list without dissecting it further. First, we'll break it down percentage-wise as to the most popular golf shoe brands among the best 20 players in the world (the percentage of how many top players are using the particular brand):

    1) FootJoy  35%

    2) Nike        30%

    3) Adidas    25%

    4) PUMA       5%

    4) Under Armour       5%

    Interestingly enough, when you expand from the top the 20 to the top 50 players in the world, FootJoy comes out head and shoulders above the rest in terms of popularity, with roughly 40% of of the top 50 wearing their golf shoes. Second is Nike, with about 20% of the top 50 sporting their shoes.

     

    In regards to the specific golf shoe of choice among the best players in the world:

    1) Adidas ZG 21 - 3 of the top 20 players wear it = 15%

    2) FootJoy DryJoys Tour - 2 of the top 20 players wear it = 10%

    2) FootJoy ICON Black - 2 of the top 20 players wear it = 10%

    2) FootJoy Premiere Series - 2 of the top 20 players wear it = 10%

    2) Adidas CodeChaos - 2 of the top 20 players wear it = 10%

    ​

    An interesting observation is that although the FootJoy Pro/SL is easily among the most popular shoes on the PGA and European Tours, It's only worn by one of the top 20 players in the world.

    This list is constantly changing, as do sponsorships and world rankings. However, at this moment, we can say that Nike and FootJoy are the most popular golf shoe brands among the best players on the PGA and European Tours. It's no surprise that FootJoy's long-lasting, quintessential classic golf shoe, the ICON Black/Shield Tip, is the most popular for the elite players on the PGA/European Tour. However, more and more players are starting to favor the newly released Premiere Series over the ICON.
