PUMA Women's Proadapt Alphacat Golf Shoe

Product Information

This is just yet another good looking shoe from Puma - it provides modern styling without being over the top or in your face. The white and grey colourway was subtle, easily paired with trousers or shorts of most colours, and should have appeal to a wide range of golfers. The patterned effect on the EXO Shell mesh upper was reminiscent of the Under Armour Spieth shoes in previous years, and the addition of the pattern was a good decision as I think the shoes might have looked and felt a little cheap if they were just all white.

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? Put these two together, then, and you get a shoe which should give you the confidence to swing as hard as you like regardless of the lie or course conditions. I couldn't help but think that this is probably not the most sustainable solution as it must surely be more prone to ripping than with a standard lacing setup which is built into the main body of the shoe.Having said that, the new upper was firmer than in the Pwradapt Caged and this then provided a nice balance between a shoe that is ideal for use during the summer when the weather is better, but still gives you the support that you need. To put the new Alphacat shoe to the test and see whether they really are the 'King of Comfort', I headed down to Denton GC in Manchester for a full day's testing. It might also mean you spend a bit of time hopping on one foot in the golf club car park trying to get these on too, as you can't widen the tongue section to put your foot in like you normally would.

PUMA ALPHACAT NITRO Golf Shoes: Tech Talk Nothing particularly stood out as being brilliant but neither was there anything which posed any distraction out on the golf course, and I think you'd take that from your golf shoes.

Having no distinct tongue section meant that you almost have to use these shoes like a slip-on first, and then tighten them with the laces afterwards. The Alphacat Nitro design features a new and innovative NITRO FOAM material, which is infused with nitrogen gas to create exceptional cushioning and energy return with every step. The newly designed material is also extremely lightweight, allowing for an energy saving design. As someone who spends his day knee-deep in piles of golf shoes, I tend to notice the little things that others may not. One of my biggest takeaways about the golf shoe industry as a whole is their propensity to sacrifice function in the name of branding. The overall shaping just seems to scrunch the toes rather than let them naturally spread. PUMA ALPHACAT NITRO Spikeless Golf Shoes: Marked Improvement Is the ALPHACAT NITRO and its nitrogen-infused midsole the most comfortable PUMA golf shoe I’ve ever worn? I’d say so. This statement must be taken with a grain of salt because I can’t say I’ve worn every PUMA golf shoe. That said, of the PUMA shoes tested in 2023, the ALPHACAT NITRO provides the most comfortable underfoot cushion. Retooled Traction

Puma Alphacat Golf Shoe Review

Adapt Foam, which rivals the likes of Adidas' Boost technology, is made from a combination of EVA cushioning and an impact resistant polymer. Yes. Pairs of golf shoes made by Puma regularly make it into our list of the best golf shoes. Puma make some excellent spiked and spikeless golf shoes for men and women. Do Puma golf shoes fit true? This creates a platform above the sole of the shoe which provides impact resistance and energy return whilst still retaining ground feel.

I mentioned that the biggest change to the ALPHACAT NITRO is the addition of PUMA’s flagship NITRO foam. Often found on the brand’s running line, NITRO is an extremely lightweight but stable foam. Its best quality, however, is its ability to return energy. The nitrogen-infused foam midsole is exceptionally bouncy while walking yet stable through the swing. Call me a fan. Some brands try too hard to put their own twist on the golf shoe with no regard for performance. Often this shows up in what I refer to as “storytelling”, where a brand attempts to tell a “story” with its design instead of designing around performance.PUMA’s ALPHACAT golf shoe has been around for a while. But now PUMA’s upgrading their mainline ALPHACAT spikeless golf shoes with the introduction of NITRO foam. Many players choose to have one pair for winter and another, lighter pair for summer to keep them fresh and suit different requirements. The reason for this is because golf shoe technology is so good these days that golfers can experience the relaxed, lightweight comfort that these shoes offer, without losing out on traction or support in comparison to a spiked option. Pushing the boundaries of performance and style, the Puma PROADAPT ALPHACAT Golf Shoes combines a new multi-durometer traction system with premium technologies to give you the Alpha of all spikeless shoes. This is very comfortable once you're wearing them as there's no pinching around the top of the foot, but it does take a little bit of getting used to.

With blue skies and sunshine when I arrived, some wetter areas on the golf course and then a delay due to torrential rain and lightning halfway through my round (that's Manchester weather for you...) you could say that it was a perfect day to really put a pair of shoes through their paces in a number of different conditions. Puma Alphacat Golf Shoe Review

Puma say that the Alphacat is the King Of Comfort, so is that true? Well I don't know if I could say that they are without doubt the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn, but considering that these are what I'd call a mid-way shoe - in between a full spiked shoe and a real lightweight spikeless model like the FJ Flex - I think you'll do well to find a model which beats the combination of comfort and stability that they offer. Puma Alphacat Golf Shoe Verdict 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.
