First Look: Inesis WW500

Have you ever put on a golf shoe and thought, “Holy s**t! This is the most comfortable golf shoe I’ve ever worn!”?

If you have, think again!

In 2019, Inesis, who operate under the Decathlon umbrella, burst into our doors at MyGolfSpy HQ wanting to be heard. And, as we discovered, for good reason. They looked at the golf industry differently and had some high-performing products.

One of those was the Inesis waterproof golf shoe for men. It won second place overall as well as Best Value in the 2019 Most Wanted Spikeless Golf Shoe Test.

The Inesis waterproof shoe ranked first for most comfortable shoe in 2019 Most Wanted Shoe Test.

Best Golf Shoes at the Rocket Mortgage Classic

One day when you look back on your life, what are some of the things you might regret? Don’t let wearing lame golf shoes be one of them.

Take this advice from yours truly: the perfect pair of golf shoes is the perfect compliment to your horrendous short game. Heck, if you’re playing with me, your trendy golf shoes may just mask your chipping woes to the point where I wouldn’t even notice. 

You’re here because you need shoe help, and I’m glad you stopped by. Let’s discuss the best shoes I saw this week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. 

Rickie Fowler in a Custom PUMA PROADAPT Alphacat

I know what you’re thinking; why am I writing about Rickie Fowler again? If I was funny I’d probably say something like “it’s because my favorite color is orange,” but in reality, Fowler’s shoe choice this week caught me off guard.

Because I’d just written about Fowler last week, I didn’t go into this week paying attention to his footwear at all. But as the days trundled on, I noticed that the shoes Fowler was wearing were unfamiliar to me, something that doesn’t happen often. A quick search of Puma’s website didn’t return any promising results, and I was left speculating whether this was a new, unreleased model of shoe.
