The ifrothgolf review
This is adidas putting their flagship Tour360 chassis on a spikeless outsole. You get the same things that make the Tour360 a genuine tour shoe, the 360Wrap that hugs your midfoot, the Torsion Bridge that keeps the platform stable when you load into the ground, the Lightstrike midsole and a proper waterproof leather upper, but instead of replaceable cleats you get a lugged spikeless sole that grips through the swing and lets you walk off the course straight onto a hard floor. It is a stability-first shoe, not a slipper.
What's great
The lockdown is the headline. The wrap system and that torsion plate mean your foot does not slosh about when you go after one, which is rare in a spikeless shoe and the main reason serious golfers buy it. The leather upper genuinely keeps water out, the cushioning is supportive without feeling spongy, and the spikeless sole gives you that grab-and-go versatility. It feels expensive on, because it is built like the cleated version.
Worth knowing
Be clear-eyed about availability: the spikeless Tour360 24 has largely sold through in the UK and adidas has moved the spikeless line on to the newer Tour360 SL and 25, so colourways and sizes are getting thin and you may be buying last-season stock or the cleated 24 instead. Spikeless grip, while strong, will never match metal-style cleats on a soaking wet, steep, hilly course. The leather build also makes it heavier and warmer than a knit spikeless shoe, and it is a firmer, more structured ride than soft lifestyle-style golf shoes, so if you want pillow comfort over outright stability, look elsewhere.
The verdict
If you want a spikeless shoe that does not feel like a compromise on stability, this is one of the best, because it is essentially a tour shoe underneath. Just go in knowing stock is dwindling and that you are paying for build quality and lockdown rather than featherweight comfort. Check the listing carefully so you get the spikeless sole and not the cleated 24.
