I don't know who needs to hear this, but Reebok is back in golf with three new shoes ready to hit the links. The Nano Golf, Question Golf and OG Pump are here, and I tried them all to see which is my favorite.
Before I go any further, while I will pick one shoe to become my go-to pair, let me say that all three are excellent options and much of the choice comes down to personal style preference more than anything (they all feel comfortable and perform well).
They're all worthy of a place on the best golf shoe list.
If you're in the market for a golf shoe that stands out from the crowd, Reebok has a model for you.
Reebok Question golf shoe
The Question is Reebok's most streetwear-like shoe in its golf line. You could rock these on the golf course just as well as you could wear them while out at the bar with friends on a Friday night.
Some dressier accents on the front of the shoe give them an almost wingtip look from the front and a sneaker look from the profile.
It's a cool look, but it's the one I like the least of the three. However, while they're my least favorite-looking shoe, they're incredibly comfortable and easy to break in, so if the look and feel of the Question is for you, you can rest easy knowing they feel great.
Spikeless golf shoes offer a solid grip on the bottom of the shoe, but they don't have the same level of traction as a spiked pair. All three shoes we will look at today are spikeless, so keep that in mind.
As far as water, these are water resistant, so you can wear them on rainy days if you'd like (though they're awfully pretty to get them all muddy).
Reebok Nano golf shoe
These are the models Bryson DeChambeau was seen wearing before Reebok officially announced its return to golf. Now that the shoes are public knowledge, I was able to give them a run for their money, and they are incredibly comfortable. It's easy to forget that these are golf shoes because they feel like sneakers you could wear for a run.
From a pure comfort perspective, these are the most pleasant to wear. I could walk around in these all day, and my feet would be pleased.
Performance-wise, these have chunky grips on the bottom of the shoe that feel good on slightly wet grass.
The athletic shoe design means these aren't waterproof, so they're a shoe better suited to those in dry climates (or someone who has multiple shoes and can keep a dry pair). According to Reebok, "Nano Golf has some elements that are not technically water resistant." However, they added that they're "certainly designed for durability on the course."
Reebok OG Pump golf shoe
As someone who grew up in the early 90s, you slap the word "Pump" on a shoe and I'm immediately on board. I fully expected the OG Pump from Reebok to be a basketball-style shoe. And I was incredibly wrong. Instead, they're a traditional dress-style shoe.
And I couldn't be happier. The contrast between the pump and the leather shoe is exciting. The pump is on the side of the kicks instead of the tongue, and it works like the old school ones — fill it up when you want to snug the shoe down and add some support, and release the air when you don't.
I test a lot of golf shoes. Currently, I'm working my way through more than 20 different models from the top companies in the world, and these are in my top three without question.
The comfort is just as stellar as the look. They're weatherproof, so you can comfortably use them in the rain without worrying about getting wet feet. I walked around on a wet course with them and had no issues, which is all you can ask for.
However, my only complaint about them (and why they're in the top three, not number one) is the lack of a spiked version.
I expect spikes on the bottom when I see a traditional dress-style golf shoe. I'm all for offering spikeless varieties, but I wish I could order them with the extra grip since I play golf in New England, where conditions are rarely perfect.
Outlook
Reebok is back! I didn't know I missed Reebok in the golf space, but I couldn't be happier to have them here again. I think the company is off to a good start with these three shoes, both in terms of looks and performance, and I'm excited to see what it does next.
I hope spiked models are coming soon because golfers in areas with bad weather will need them.
