Singapore is not only a great city for shop, beach and attraction seekers but it has also become a golfer’s paradise. The elite golf courses of Singapore attract several fans of golf every year and the country gives place for several worldwide famous championships such as the Barclay’s Open held here every year. Therefore, golf is today one of the most important sports of Singapore and as such, it requires special equipment, clothing and even special golf shoes. In our article, we will discuss where you can get to find golf shoes in Singapore.
Golf is one of the most special sports in the world that requires very specific environment, alongside specific equipments, clothing and in several cases, it is a sport that widely acts as a status symbol too. Therefore, golf needs quite a big investment, in case you would like to do it more than occasionally. Apart from golf being widely considered as the sport of wealthy upper class, is in real a sport anyone can do and it is quite great to start from an early age. Contrary to the fact that golf equipment is expensive, one can rent golf equipment as well.
Golf shoes are such specific athletic shoes that are not different from ordinary sports shoes with the exception of their sole. Golf shoes are designed to look classy, to be durable and therefore they are mostly provided with wide rubber soles with a good strong arch support. The shoes are designed to be very cosy and today, there are several colours and slight differences in outlook for men and women. The golf shoes of the old times came with metal spikes in order to make walking and to help to keep feet stable on the often-wet grass. Yet today’s golf shoes rather include plastic attachable spikes and due to the damage spikes cause to the green and their considerably long time to heal, there are more and more golf courses, which do not let golfers use spikes at all. Of course, the wearing of spikes differs from course to course and there are many golf courses, especially in the UK, the birthplace of golf, where golf courses often include steeper hills that needs considerably more effort to walk than a flatter course.
Singapore has beautiful golf courses often visited by tourists and fellow golfers in high numbers. Therefore, the need for golf apparel such as shoes is also higher. Singapore has many brands offering high quality golf shoes. One brand, which you can find at many different shopping malls, is Ecco, which has its own collection of professional golf shoes.
