We take a look at some of our favourite golf shoes designed for kids and junior players.
Best Kids Golf Shoes
You have done the hard bit, you have got your child interested in golf. Now you have to try and keep them interested and one way we have found is to make their golfing experience as easy and as comfortable as possible, whether that be through equipment that helps them hit the ball far and high, or through cool golf gear.
One such avenue is to make sure they have the best golf shoes available because if they have a pair that slip and slide, give them blisters, and look drab and stereotypically ‘golfy’ then they might not want to go back to the driving range or golf club to play again.
Here is where we come in, as below we have taken a look at some of the best kids golf shoes from brands like FootJoy, Adidas, Puma and many more, that have all the performance necessary to keep your child’s feet comfortable, and yet they can also show off their cool new shoes to their friends.

Inesis Golf Grip Waterproof Shoes

– Durability could be an issue further down the line
Inesis golf products are a byword for fantastic value and the same can be said of the shoes. They perform well and do everything a good golf shoe should at a low price point. What we liked about these kids shoes in particular were the little details; like the faded colour change on the mid-section of the shoe, the 2-year waterproof warranty, and the pieces of technology designed for comfort and stability that would look at home on a shoe triple the price.
