GM Verdict

With its latest golf shoe, Puma continues to blend style with substance. This shoe has a sporty, sneaker-style look to it which we really like. The first job with any shoe is to slide your foot in and we found the one-piece, slip-on-style entry design around the ankle made this more tricky. It definitely offers a more roomy fit in the forefoot area, yet the design of the caged area ensures your feet are secure when you pull the laces tight, presuming you have the correct size.

You’ll then notice the underfoot cushioning from the Ignite foam providing a spring in your step while also letting you feel relatively low to the ground. Despite being a shoe billed as offering stability, the sole is fairly flexible in all directions, which helps with walking comfort but might not provide the solid base some golfers crave. That said, the combination of seven cleats and other lugs scattered around provides very good grip, so there’s no chance of slipping even when teeing off early in the dew.

There are different lace positions at the top of the shoe – which comes in four colours – and a disc lacing option is also available. While it is waterproof, the mesh section of the upper and the flexibility in the sole make it feel more of a summer shoe, but there is still good performance to be had.
