I test golf shoes for a living (yes it's a real job) and I'm very fortunate to test pretty much every major golf shoe launch there is each year. Put bluntly, if there's anything I don't know about golf shoes, it ain't worth knowing.
That's why, every Amazon Prime Big Deals Day, I'm keenly looking to see which shoes have gone on sale to help you better understand what a good golf shoe deal actually looks like. As you might imagine, a lot of bad golf shoes will get heavily discounted at this time of year and brands try to get rid of any remaining stock before 2025. However, in and amongst some not-so-great offerings this year are four absolute gems I need to bring to your attention.
Ecco Biom H4
This shoe went a little under the radar when it was launched in the fall of 2023. Such was the success of the Ecco Biom C4 from 2022, I think this one got a little lost in the C4's shadow.
It shouldn't have. The modern, versatile design is paired with premium materials to make for a comfortable spikeless golf shoe. The outsole can handle damp conditions well, though it isn't an ideal shoe for winter conditions versus the spiked shoes I've mentioned in this piece. Saying that, they are fully waterproof so will handle a damp morning dew or any rain showers too. This is the first time I've seen them under $150, too.
Puma Phantomcat Nitro
Puma's premier spiked golf shoe for 2024 is now over half price from its original RRP this Prime Day. This is a well-rounded spiked golf shoe with a unique spike system injected into the bottom of the shoe. This covers more surface area than conventional spikes while still remaining incredibly low profile. I also really like the pops of color the Puma designers opted for on the outsole too, with the green and orange combo really standing out.
If you're after a new spiked golf shoe and the Adidas is still a little too steep for you price-wise, these are a superb alternative.
FootJoy Hyperflex Carbon
I crowned this shoe my best of 2023 after it was released in February of the same year. Though not part of Amazon's sale event this year, I've spotted it at Carl's Golfland on sale right now.
The absolute highlight of this shoe is the Ortholite Impression Footbed, which provides supreme comfort. In fact, we believe that this technology has elevated the HyperFlex Carbon from a good golf shoe into a great golf shoe. Exclusive to the HyperFlex Carbon, this footbed has a memory foam feel to it and, over several rounds, it will mould to the shape of your foot like a comfy pair of old slippers. Soft though these may be, the performance element of this shoe can't be understated. A carbon plate in the outsole helps golfers of all speeds harness ground forces more effectively, and you can feel the rebound working through your foot during the swing. A true performance golf shoe now under $100.
