This is the best way of testing a golf shoe as using it in the real world over a number of weeks allows us to see how they perform when variables change like weather, ground conditions, different stances and lies, and so on. Elliott Heath, social media manager Age: 25 Handicap: 4 Preferred shoe style: Traditional Would I wear them? Yes Verdict: I think they're pretty cool and it's great that they can be worn on and off the course so no need to change shoes on arrival. As a traditionalist, I would only wear these in social games or after-work golf, not in a comp. Still, I'm a big fan. I have a new pair of adicross' and love them for the exact reasons stated above Rob Smith, courses expert Age: 63 Handicap: 14 Preferred shoe style: Sporty spikeless Would you wear them? No Verdict: I am not a fan of the cargo/military style look - they look like they are designed to offer a height boost. I think the bar down the side looks like a lever used to adjust a car seat - does RS-G stand for Rap Star Golfer? Michael Weston, freelancer Age: 40 Handicap: 12 Preferred shoe style: Spikeless Would you wear these shoes? No Verdict: If I were 20 years younger, I might have considered wearing them - not now. Only certain players (young, trend setters) will be able to pull this style off, I imagine.

Spikeless golf shoes offer off-course versatility. They are perfect for driving in the car to the golf course, playing a round, and then driving home again because they are usually light and comfortable, but most won't offer as much traction as a spiked shoe.Dom Smith, videographer Age: 24 Handicap: 14 Preferred shoe style: Spikeless Would you wear them? Yes Verdict: These are shoes I could easily see myself wearing all day long, not just for a round of golf. I'm not a fan of the white and grey colour but would definitely look at the other colour options available. Mike Harris, editor Age: 49 Handicap: 9 Preferred shoe style: Sporty spikeless Would you wear them? Yes Verdict: As a huge trainer fan I like the styling that is inspired by genuine street footwear. In a golf context, I think these are a real statement shoe and I’m not afraid to wear standout items with an appropriate outfit in the right setting. Articulation geometry is behind the somewhat quirky name of the latest spiked shoe from Puma. The new technology allows the shoe to move with your foot while still providing a strong level of support. In practice, it works brilliantly and the shoes were a pleasure to play golf in. The styling is subtle but smart and Puma’s Ignite Foam provides a good amount of comfort and energy return in the midsole. Our range of GS-Fast golf shoes take design inspiration from our much-loved “RS” line of trainers, but for GS we’ve added golf twist. With an outsole designed to offer superb traction, you can keep your foot-in whether you’re on tee-ing off or playing out of the bunker. Like most of our golf shoes, the GS-Fast are also constructed with a fully waterproof upper to keep your feet dry and comfortable even in adverse conditions.

Neil Tappin, digital editor Age: 39 Handicap: 5 Preferred shoe style: Spikeless but fairly traditional Would you wear these shoes? No Verdict: I think they look pretty good and I can imagine them being popular but they too trainer-like for me. (Possibly a bit young as well!) When trying a pair on for the first time, listen for the 'whoosh' sound when you slide your feet in - that's the sound of all the air leaving the shoe to confirm it is the correct size, but do a walking test to be sure. They shouldn't pinch anywhere, nor should your feet be moving around inside. PUMA have always been a front runner when pushing the boundaries to design trendy yet functional golf shoes and the GS-Fast, an update on their much talked about RS-G Golf Shoes, certainly continues that trend. These are a statement shoe for those players wanting to complete a streetwear look on the course. Admittedly these shoes will not be everyone's cup of tea and we did get several comments about them from playing partners and other members of the golf course when we first tested them out.Bill Elliott, columnist Age: 75 Handicap: 18 Preferred shoe style: More traditional but always spikeless Would you wear them? No Verdict: The Puma RS-G are clearly not aimed at me and rightly so as I would not be drawn to them although my sons say they would be very likely to try them.

Many players choose to have one pair for winter and another, lighter pair for summer to keep them fresh and suit different requirements. The GS-Fast comes with a wide rubber outsole that is littered with a ton of small rubber studs. That means these shoes are better used as a summer golf shoe but still performed very well in slightly soft autumnal conditions with their grippy outsole providing solid traction on the turf. They are also completely waterproof and are very easy to wipe down after your round. If you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain then a waterproof shoe is a must. The best designs will keep your feet bone dry however if you play golf in glorious sunshine most of the time, then you may view other factors as more significant. When it comes to the right fit it is also worth considering different laces. Normal laces are good for most but for some golfers, BOA laced shoes provide more convenient fastening and shouldn’t loosen during the course of a round, but are usually a tad more expensive.Thankfully modern golf shoe design has seen many brands not just create traditional, classic-looking shoes, but also modern styles that can be used off the golf course too. Therefore it is important to think about what your shoes look like and what style suits you. Whatever you like or dislike, there is something for everyone these days. FAQs Are Puma good golf shoes?
