PUMA Women's Proadapt Alphacat Golf Shoe

Product Information

Our golf shoe testing methodology revolves around putting models to the test over a number of rounds and in different conditions. This is so we can gain a better idea of overall performance in terms of factors like grip comfort, grip, stability, waterproofing and how they actually look on the golf course.Each of the shoes listed above has been personally used by a member of the Golf Monthly team. Introducing the new Puma Alphacat Nitro Golf Shoes, a spikeless shoe with premium cushioning that provides explosive energy and propulsion with each step. Many players choose to have one pair for winter and another, lighter pair for summer to keep them fresh and suit different requirements. Having no distinct tongue section meant that you almost have to use these shoes like a slip-on first, and then tighten them with the laces afterwards.

Put these two together, then, and you get a shoe which should give you the confidence to swing as hard as you like regardless of the lie or course conditions. You have enough to think about when you're playing, so having a reliable pair of golf shoes that just get the job done are exactly what is necessary.To put the new Alphacat shoe to the test and see whether they really are the 'King of Comfort', I headed down to Denton GC in Manchester for a full day's testing. On the shoe's heel, the addition of the fabric strap is a nice feature which can be seen of a number of Puma shoes over the last few years. Having said that, the new upper was firmer than in the Pwradapt Caged and this then provided a nice balance between a shoe that is ideal for use during the summer when the weather is better, but still gives you the support that you need.

PUMA Golf introduces the new ALPHACAT NITRO, a spikeless shoe with premium cushioning that provides explosive energy and propulsion with each step. With the new Alphacat Nitro PUMA continues to raise the bar in the spikeless golf shoe category, creating a fashion-forward design with hi-tech materials and advanced performance. The GS-Fast comes with a wide rubber outsole that is littered with a ton of small rubber studs. That means these shoes are better used as a summer golf shoe but still performed very well in slightly soft autumnal conditions with their grippy outsole providing solid traction on the turf. They are also completely waterproof and are very easy to wipe down after your round. The latest of these is the new Proadapt Alphacat, which Puma says is the 'King of Comfort' and is designed to provide the 'Alpha' of all spikeless shoes. What's It All About?One thing it seems PUMA has yet to figure out is the shaping of the toe box area on their golf shoes. From the top down, the PUMA ALPHACAT NITRO has an extremely narrow and pointed toe. The resulting fit would definitely cause someone with a wider foot than mine pain and discomfort.
