Shoes are a crucial component of a golfer’s outfit. The traditional spiked leather golf shoes are the norm. However, several players have recently opted for more contemporary designs. The shoes should be clean, well-polished, and coordinated with the rest of the outfit’s color scheme.
Golf is a game that calls for both talent and flair. When dressing for any occasion, golfers take tremendous care. A golfer’s attire is designed to provide comfort, flexibility, and protection during the game. However, a golfer’s gear may draw attention not just for its stylish appearance but also for its practicality. That is how Brooks Koepka caught the attention of the golf world with his shoes at the Masters.
