ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Five years ago, if you saw a guy walking around town in golf shoes you’d probably laugh at him.

It’s just not something you do.

But these days, that’s all changed.

There’s a handful of companies that have embraced the idea of the “all day” golf shoe.

These are shoes that perform well enough to wear on the course, but look and feel more like regular street shoes.

They still represent a pretty small niche in the world of golf, but for the right person, having a pair of all day shoes in your golf (and street) wardrobe can truly be a game changer.

In this list of the best all day golf shoes I’m going to share with you 5 of my favorite options on the market. Each of these serves a slightly different purpose, so one may or may not be the right fit depending on what you’re looking for. Here you’ll find offerings from TRUE Linkswear, Allbirds, and G/FORE – as they are making some of the best golf shoes that you can wear both on and off the course.

Five years ago most of us would not have been caught dead wearing golf shoes off the golf course but now the idea of the all day golf shoe is very much a real thing and a lot of brands have started to take notice these are essentially

Shoes that are meant for both the golf course and for wearing around town or traveling or working out and I’m going to be totally honest having a few pairs of these all day golf shoes has just added a whole new level of Versatility to both my golf wardrobe as well as my

Day-to-day wardrobe that I really wasn’t expecting so in today’s video I’m going to share with you my five favorite all day golf shoes as well as help you figure out if this is a product category that you should even consider because honestly it’s not going to be for

Everybody so if you’re interested if you’ve been thinking about picking up an all day golf shoe and you want to know which ones you should get keep watching today’s video is for you real quick if you’re in the market for some golf shoes and you’re not sure which ones to get

Then I put together a quiz for you you’re going to go answer a few questions about what you were looking for and I’m going to give you my best recommendation based on your needs the link is below and I think you’re going to find it really valuable when it comes

To finding the right golf shoes for you all right so the way this video is going to work is I’m going to give you five recommendations that are each going to fall into a different category but before we get into that I want to talk a

Little bit about the pros and cons of the all day golf shoe to start with so for me one of the biggest Pros to having a pair of all day golf shoes is it makes travel a lot easier let’s say you’re going on vacation and you’re only

Playing one or two rounds of golf well you probably don’t want to pack a whole set of dedicated golf shoes especially if you have kids and you already have a ton of other crap you got to pack well having a pair of all day shoes you can

Wear these on the plane you can wear them to the gym you can wear them when you’re out exploring doing the scenic things and you can wear them on the golf course and so being able to pair down two pairs of shoes down to one just makes traveling so much easier another

Big benefit to all day shoes is honestly golf shoes are expensive and frankly the ones on this list are pretty expensive I found it to be super nice where I’ve got these golf shoes that I may only wear for a handful of rounds of golf a year

To be able to wear out around town in my day-to-day life and most of these shoes I’ve spent more time wearing dayto day than I have on the golf course then there’s obviously the downsides a lot of all day shoes aren’t waterproof or at least they’re not as waterproof as some

Traditional tour shoes you’re also going to find that a lot of them aren’t as stable and you’re not going to have as good of traction so for tournament Players or really competitive golfers a lot of these will be a non-starter also for as comfortable as many Al day models

Are some just aren’t up to the task of walking 18 holes they might be great for an emergency 9 in a cart but once you start walking 18 holes and swinging and playing golf you might find there’s just not enough stability to keep your feet comfortable for that amount of time all

Right so now that you understand some of the pros and cons to an all day shoe which ones should you buy well everyone’s going to have different needs so I’m going to lay out my five favorites the first one is the best all day shoe for vacation and that is this

This is the true Lynx Weare all day knit two not the three the two I love this shoe for a number of reasons first off I think all the colorways look really good and it’s incredibly light so if you don’t want to wear these on the plane

They’re super easy to pack down and they’re not going to take up a bunch of weight in your suitcase these are also perfect for like if you’re out on the Beach or you’re walking around town they’re comfortable you can wear them without socks if you don’t want to

They’re a great summer shoe and so the reason I say they’re the best for vacation is because if you’re only playing one round of Resort golf in a cart these are going to be just fine the downside to these they’re not waterproof and they’re also probably the least

Stable of all of the shoes on this list so this is not going to be a shoe you’re going to use day in and day out you could certainly walk 18 holes in them but they’re going to be more comfortable if you are riding in a carart before we

Get into the rest of the list I want to share a few bonus options that fall into this category because well they’re basically the same shoe that would be the true linkware all day 3 which is the newer version of the shoe which feels a little bit more stable it’s got some

Awesome colorways but they change the insole to a different material and I find that my feet kind of stick in it when I’m wearing socks and I just don’t find it to be quite as comfortable because of that as I do the all day knit 2 which is probably why even like three

Or four years after the knit 2 came out and they came out with the knit 3 they’re still selling the knit twos and you can often during sale times you can find them for well under $100 making them a pretty killer deal but for me I

Would go with the two over the three even though I love the way the three looks the third option in this same family is the all day rip stop again they’ve got some awesome colorways they make a great replacement for just a walking around all day shoe again not

Necessarily the preferential shoe for walking 18 holes in fact this summer I took a trip to Philadelphia I was wearing these on the plane uh and the airline lost my luggage I had a 36 hole golf day at aronomink and Maran that I then got to play in these shoes they

Were okay but let’s just say by the end of walking 36 holes my feet weren’t necessarily super happy that doesn’t change the fact that I love these shoes they’re great for wearing around town great for more casual rounds and they don’t have the insole issues of the knit

Three these are very very comfortable and so definitely uh recommend them all right next up in our list is best trainers if you looking for a pair of all day golf shoes that you can wear out and wear to the gym and and really just make a do anything golf shoe when you’re

Traveling this gets my pick and these are the G4 mg4 X2 shoes now this is a pretty bold colorway there’s a lot going on here there’s a lot of different materials but that’s one of the things I love about it when I first got these

Shoes I was kind of thinking I was like you know what this might be a little bit much for me styling wise but I’ve probably worn these more than any other shoe on the list G4 has a few unique features first off there’s the massaging nubbed insole which have these little

Ridges that actually feel really good and if you’re wearing the shoes for a long time they get really comfortable build quality is second and N they use a variety of different materials across the shoe that just give it some different textures there’s different technology built in that makes this a

Really well-rounded shoe both for the golf course as well as walking around I’ve worn this on CrossCountry flights had no problems with this I’ve also walked 18 holes in these shoes numerous times and they have performed admirably when it comes to golfing in all day

Shoes I think these are some of the best you could legitimately use use this as your main pair of Summer golf shoes and they’re going to be great the traction isn’t quite on the level of some other spikeless models that are dedicated to golf but it exceeded my expectations and

Overall I love these shoes it’s even better that recently they dropped the price from 225 down to1 195 and you can often find them on sales less than that we actually have a G4 coupon code you can use below save you another 10% um but if it’s in your budget these are an

Excellent pair one downside to this model is this particular colorway has a white mesh across the top that tends to get Pretty Dirty so if you’re not good about keeping your shoes clean like me you’ll find that these can tend to scuff up quite a bit can totally be cleaned

Off it’s not the end of the world but they do get a little bit more dirty than some of these other models all right best all day golf shoe for dressing up and wearing in slightly more formal settings and that goes to this the true linkware mixed media FS2 now you may

Already be saying uh what’s the deal you’ve got a lot of true link SAR shoes already on this list and the reality is is because no other company is taking the idea of an all day golf shoe as seriously as true linkware so they’ve created a number of models that each

Serve a different purpose and the mix media fs02 is a great example of this similar to the G4 we just talked about it uses a variety of different materials to really make it feel highend it’s got leather across the top it’s got mesh on the sides it’s got a kind of a

Microfiber suede toe box and overall that combines to just give it a more elevated look on the course these actually performed better than I expected them to I had good track ction with them they were comfortable to walk in they do have that same material on

The insole as the knit 3 which I said I didn’t love because it kind of bunches up your socks but I like this shoe so much that I’m kind of over willing to look that minor annoyance and they’re both comfortable on the course as well as comfortable walking around these are

Ones I wear all the time with jeans you wear a sweater jeans these it just kind of dresses everything up whereas most of these shoes feel more like trainers they feel like athletic shoes these feel a little bit more refined so if you’re going on say a business trip and you’re

Going to play around a golf but you also need something you can wear out for a relatively nice dinner these can definitely fit the part also worth noting there’s a coupon code below that you can use to save 15% off any true links wear shoe some of these shoes they

Are getting pretty expensive this one’s 185 retail but you add 15% to that and all of a sudden it becomes much more manageable also I feel like it goes without saying but I’m going to say it anyway if you use any of our coupon codes or if you use any of the links

Below I will get a commission on that to be clear I do not care what you buy I don’t care if you buy anything at all my whole goal here is to give you honest feedback to help you find the right products for you and if I can save you

Money in the process all the better but if you think that makes me biased or you don’t trust me for that reason I totally get it you can go Google the names of any of these shoes you can find the links to buy them and you could do it

That way no hard feelings my whole goal here is to help you all right next up on our list is the most sustainable golf shoe if you’re looking for a shoe that has sustainable manufacturing and build processes then this might be the one for you and that is the all birds golf

Dasher so all birds has made its name as being a sustainable brand brand and they have carried that through with all of their manufacturing processes both from the way they construct the shoes as well as the materials they use the best compliment I can give to these shoes is

That they feel just like any other pair of Al Birds who make some of the most comfortable shoes in the world these are also a little bit cheaper than some of the ones on this list these retail at $145 whereas some of these ones are creeping up towards 200 if you’re

Looking for a pair of all birds that you can golf in then this is a no-brainer but if you’re also just looking for a pair of all birds to wear around also kind of a no-brainer the traction on these isn’t quite as robust as it is with some other models and it’s probably

Not a shoe that I would plan to wear out in the rain or in inclement weather as far as performance on the cors goes they actually performed better than I expected looking at the sole I didn’t think I was going to have a ton of traction but when I first tested these

Out it was on an early morning dewy golf course and I didn’t slip once you’ll also find that they’ve added elements on the side to help increase the water resistance so while they’re not fully waterproof if the course is a little wet early in the morning you should still

Have no major issues wearing these so when you factor in Comfort sustainability and the fact that they essentially feel like wearing traditional all Bird shoes these are a little bit of a Dark Horse and the all day market and might be right for you all right and finally that brings us to

Our best overall all day golf shoe and I’m not going to lie this one was close I almost gave it to the G4 because I really really like that shoe but this one edges it out in just a few ways and that is the true Lynx Weare Lux hybrid I

Love this golf shoe first off I think this is probably the best looking shoe of the buz that G4 The Styling it’s not going to be for everybody these I think most people would look at that and be like damn it’s a good looking golf shoe

For me it kind of evokes a look of some like classic Nike Air Max shoes from back in the day but overall I think it’s just a really nice classic looking shoe that looks good both on the golf course and not on the golf course that’s why

These have gotten so much use for me because these are truly the shoes I will wear on the golf course and then just go straight to the bar or straight to a restaurant afterwards or straight to go out with friends cuz they really do feel like both golf shoes and everyday shoes

At the same time and they perform both of those duties really well if I going back and getting another pair I’m not sure I would personally go for the hive is white just because I have a tough time keeping things clean although I know some of you this is absolutely the

One you would go for I love the subtle camo that you get on the side here the mesh makes it super breathable but here’s the kicker that I wouldn’t have necessarily expected by looking at this shoe this is a fully waterproof golf shoe you see this mesh and you’re like

Oh it’s breathable but water is going to get in it no this thing is fully water proof so while they’re obviously not the shoes I’m going to pick out if I’m going to go play in a monsoon at Bandon Dunes they are great for those dewy mornings

Or if there’s a chance of rain I know if these get wet my feet are going to stay dry and on the course these perform very well traction support stability Comfort all very very good just shy of the very best spikeless shoes on the market like

The biome C4 the biome H4 or the G4 mg4 plus but the fact these are almost as good as those and you can wear them around town that just makes this the most versatile shoe on the list and one I really really like so retail price on these is

$25 but you will often see them on sale especially on Old colorways So currently right now I believe they’re $143 on the true link SAR website which really makes these a killer deal but I think these are a great starting point for someone who’s looking to get an all day shoe

You’re not sure if it’s right for you and you want something that’s going to do everything really well that would be this shoe that’s the one I would go with so with that my name is Sean Ogle I’m the founder of this thing here at breaking 80 where we talk about cool

  1. Foot Joy made a great pair of all day golf leather shoes that were all weather but unfortunately they discontinued them. Thanks for the info.

  2. I've tried several models of True, and I wouldn't buy any of them. Little to no mid foot support, minimal traction on the sole, and way overpriced.

  3. I did your shoe quiz and you did not ask the most important question for me, fit. I have a wide foot and need a square toe box.
    Who makes a shoe for my needs ? New Balance?
    Guy Canada 🇨🇦

  4. This is more of an example infomercial! No FJ or adidas is strange, especially as you can get adidas for less than half the price of any True shoe, plus far more comfortable

  5. I trust your information 100%. I have not made a bad decision since considering your research. I do like the Johnston Murphy shoes best of all!!! Great work brother!

  6. So….which shoe company is paying you hahaha. Wearing them not on the golf course wears them out so much faster and therefore you're buying more shoes… cement is the number 1 killer on spikeless shoes

  7. I own 6 pairs of the True All Day Knit II and I wear them more than any other shoe casually. I play with them in the summer and have walked 36 with no problem – in fact, I like the minimalist / zero drop ergonomics way more than walking in a traditional shoe. The traction is pretty much terrible if the grass is damp, but otherwise I think they are plenty stable if you have stability in your swing. Also they leak like a sieve in any rain. I often play in the Ripstop and think that shoe is the best balance of traction, comfort and stability, but they don’t hold up to anything beyond a drizzle. I also don’t find them to be nearly as comfy or aesthetically appropriate for everyday wear. The Lux Hybrid is my next purchase! Enjoyed the overall review of options… thanks!

  8. Hey sir, I’m new to your community and was just wondering what are your favorite golf courses? I saw on your website you have a count of played courses. I would love to see which ones you played the cost and may be a list of your favorites. Haha not trying to add work to your plate, just interested. Love the reviews btw
