Even with their classic look shoes, Nike golf shoes tend toward the athletic. And why not—the Nike Empire was built on running shoes?
But with the Shox, they have abandoned all pretense of making the shoe look like traditional golf footwear. Take off the spikes and it would be at home on any basketball court or marathon in America.
What make it look so untraditional are the five columns under the heel that provide the cushioning for the shoe. Nike says that the columns provide extraordinary responsiveness, stability and comfort. The Traction at Contact outsole is designed to offer maximum grip with the Scorpion Stinger Spikes.
To keep your feet comfortable and dry, Nike uses its Water Shield Plus system, which includes a lining that draws moisture away from your foot, and an exterior membrane that repels wetness. The shoe comes with a two-year limited waterproof warranty 45-day limited comfort warranty.
I’ve had a lot of good luck with Nike shoes—they’re always comfortable and wear well. If you prefer a more athletic looking design, they are worth trying.
