The first quarter of the year is always a slow burn for golf footwear. Most of us in the U.S. aren’t getting regular rounds in while the weather’s still thawing out—and the brands know it. But once that first day of spring hits, there’s a shift. The sun stays out a little longer, the frost fades, and those early-season tee sheets start filling up fast. And right on cue, brands begin quietly dropping new colorways, refreshing old favorites, and teasing their seasonal collabs.
This year, it’s felt familiar—some expected silhouettes, a few anticipated collaborations, and even a couple of comeback attempts from brands trying to make noise again. But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been standouts. Below are ten pairs that have caught my eye so far. Some lean into legacy, others are here to shake things up. A few even walk the line between sport and style so well, you might end up wearing them off-course, too.
No need to overthink it—these are just the ones I’m watching, and maybe lacing up, this spring.
