Spikeless Shoes Are HOT!!!

Spikeless Golf Shoes are the fastest growing segment in golf equipment and Golf Datatech’s newly released study sets a benchmark for where this category is now and where it is headed. Spikeless golf footwear has been available for years, historically a low priced alternative product targeting players who played infrequently or who were very price sensitive.

So, what innovations tipped the scale and created broad demand for a spikeless product? Why have many tour players embraced a product they historically shunned? How big is the spikeless category and how big will it become in the long term? Which brands are consumers most likely to purchase? This 166 page study of the spikeless golf footwear will attempt to shed light on these questions and much more.
