If you are an avid golfer, a good rule of thumb is to change them every 12-15 rounds. The less you play and the wiser you are about not walking on hard surfaces that may damage the spikes like (concrete, pavement, asphalt, etc) the longer they will last. If you only play a few times a year and are good with their care, you can expect them to last a couple of years before needing to be replaced.

Spikeless golf shoes generally last about a two to three years depending on the frequency of use and the conditions you are in. Keep in mind the more you use your spikeless golf shoes off the course the more they will wear out – as concrete, asphalt and other hard surfaces tend be to more harsh on the sole (especially if you tend to drag your feet when you walk). If you only use them on the course and only play once or twice a week, they should last several years.

First decide if you prefer to wear Spiked or Spikeless golf shoes. Spiked golf shoes generally have plastic replaceable spikes at the bottom of the soles which can be replaced when they wear out. And spikeless golf shoes have rubber ribbed or “spiked” soles that mimic spike grips and can be used as exclusive off course shoes once the soles wear out. Each come with there pros and cons. After deciding which kind of golf shoe you prefer, consider the durability of the shoe, the comfort and fit, and traction or grip it provides. Natural leather golf shoes tend to last a bit longer than synthetic options as they are more resilient to wet conditions.
