Five golf shoe brands released new models this fall, spanning spikeless stability designs, traditional spiked builds and lightweight, running-inspired platforms. The lineup includes releases from FootJoy, Sun Day Red, Nike, Payntr and TRUE Linkswear, each built around a different traction and support approach.

FootJoy Pro/SL

FootJoy reworked its Pro/SL with a new Z-TEC upper designed to flex where the foot moves and add structure where it needs support. The ARCTrax/SL spikeless outsole is built for tour-level grip, and a firm EVA forefoot with a nylon spring plate adds stability and energy return. The shoe carries a two-year waterproof warranty. Reviewers have highlighted the wider, rounder toe box as one of the more comfortable fits in this group.

Sun Day Red Presidio

The Presidio is a spikeless shoe built around a full-contact, dual-durometer outsole with multidirectional lugs for grip across different lies. A TPU brace supports the midfoot through the swing, paired with an external heel counter, a full-length EVA midsole and a breathable mesh tongue.

Nike Victory Pro 4

Nike's Victory Pro 4 is built around a new Fly Wing structure connecting the upper and midsole, giving the foot a firmer surface to push against as swing speed increases. A Dynamic Fit system adds adjustable support along both sides of the foot, and the nine-spike outsole is designed for wet or uneven lies.

Payntr Reserve Classic RS

The Reserve Classic RS pairs a traditional golf shoe look with a waterproof microfiber upper, a PMXFOAM midsole and an OrthoLite footbed. A PMXSpeed plate underfoot is designed to help golfers use ground forces more effectively, and replaceable Fast Twist spikes provide multidirectional grip.

TRUE Linkswear Antigravity Pro

The Antigravity Pro is built on TRUE Linkswear's lightweight, running-inspired platform, with a Pebax superfoam midsole for cushioning and a full-length nylon speedboard for structure. At a listed weight of 10.5 ounces, it is the lightest shoe in the group, with a laminated, waterproof upper backed by a two-year warranty.
