The ifrothgolf review
In-depth reviewRead our full FootJoy Pro/SL 2026 Spikeless Golf Shoes review9.0/10The 2026 generation of FootJoy's flagship spikeless shoe, redesigned with tour pro input and a brand new outsole and upper.
What's great
Almost every major outlet has tested this one, and the verdict is consistent. Golf Monthly called it one of the most stable and grippy spikeless shoes you can buy, and Golfalot and National Club Golfer praised the out-of-box comfort. The weight drop is genuinely noticeable over 18 holes. The new outsole holds firm on soft, wet ground where most spikeless designs start skating, which matters a lot more in Surrey in November than it does in Arizona. The roomier toe box fixes the main fit complaint about older Pro/SLs.
Worth knowing
It's not cheap for a spikeless shoe, and the styling is safe to the point of being a bit beige. Golfmagic's review summed it up as a solid shoe that lacks a little spice. If you play exclusively in winter slop, a soft spiked shoe will still out-grip it. Early stock sells through quickly in popular sizes too.
The verdict
The default answer to 'which spikeless golf shoe should I buy'. Boring in the best possible way.
