If someone had said to me 10 years ago that I’d be trudging around the golf course every winter in a pair of golf boots, I would have laughed. Having grown up climbing mountainous terrain across all parts of the UK on various Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions, I honestly thought that my days of wearing hiking boots were gone, and yet here they are suddenly a fashionable and functional women’s winter golf essential.
Looking at this from a performance perspective, wearing golf boots in the winter makes perfect sense. They are waterproof and robust, designed to withstand the rigours of soaking wet, muddy fairways and slippery grass surfaces. I guess it was only a matter of time before manufacturers realized that adapting them to suit the golf swing was sensible.
