SPIKED SHOES

PUMA IGNITE PWRADAPT £140 www.cobragolf.co.uk/pumagolf

WHY IT’S WON: New “traction pods” on the sole offer ground-grabbing grip to keep you stable no matter what the conditions or terrain. Ignite foam soles along the entire length of the foot offer ultra-responsive cushioning and more bounce back than a jack in the box. Available as a standard, Disc fastening (for a personal fit) and leather upper option, all of which come with a twoyear waterproof guarantee.

ECCO COOL £220 www.eccoshoesuk.com

WHY IT’S WON: Ecco’s Cool shoes are a joint venture between Ecco and Gore, combining unparalleled comfort, as well as exceptional protection from the wet. Gore-tex Surround technology, an air channelling system for 360° breathability without waterproof compromise.

UNDER ARMOUR SPIETH 2 £160 www.underarmour.co.uk

WHY IT’S WON: A shoe that helps you hit it further? Sounds crazy, but when three TG readers tested the Spieth 2s earlier this year, each one generated more ground force through their swing – a key to more distance. Rotational resistance cleats aid traction, and at Jordan’s request alignment stripes on both shoes help you set up square to your target. A new waterproof and breathable Goretex membrane improves this model a lot over the original Spieth One. A smartweave (created from strong lightweight TPU fibres) and leather upper provides stability and comfort. Integrated lacing gives a locked-in fit.
