The adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes offer high level performance and contemporary styling.\u00a0 BOA Fit System a nice option.\u00a0 Snug fit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

For over five years now, adidas Codechaos have been the shoes I most often reach for when heading out the door to golf.\u00a0 The fit and on course performance are a perfect match for me.\u00a0 Seeing the new adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes lineup at the recent PGA Show, I was intrigued by some of the design features and contemporary looks.\u00a0 Always open to improving my game, I grabbed pairs of both the laced and BOA versions and put them through some rigorous testing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looks<\/p>\n

The adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes combine a clean, smooth toe with the iconic 3-Stripes for an overall contemporary look.\u00a0 The outsole that rolls up at the inside heel and outside toe areas reminds me of the Codechaos and hints at a performance focused design.\u00a0 The spikeless sole has distinct traction zones, amplified by color \u2013 depending on shoe colorways.\u00a0 The laced version comes in two colorways from adidas:\u00a0 cloud white\/core black\/lucid ray blue (featured in this review) and cloud white\/silver metallic\/halo silver.\u00a0 A cloud white\/collegiate blue\/lucid orange version is available from retail outlets like Golf Galaxy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love the bold orange utilized on the sole of the otherwise subdued cloud white\/silver metallic\/grey adidas Adipower 26 BOA Spikeless Golf Shoes.\u00a0 I also like where the BOA Fit System is incorporated \u2013 front and center.\u00a0 To my eyes, the location maintains the overall stylish look without being a visual distraction.

Comfort<\/p>\n

I read on their website that the adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes \u201cprovide a snug fit,\u201d and slipping them on for the first time I realized they weren\u2019t kidding.\u00a0 For my standard width feet, \u2018tight\u2019 seemed a more fitting adjective.\u00a0 My initial thought was that the shoes may be a half size small, but the length seemed about right.<\/p>\n

I went with a thin pair of socks and a range session to give the shoes a fair shake, and was pleased at how much the leather uppers stretched and began to feel comfortable after an hour.\u00a0 Out on the course a few days later, the Adipower 26 still had that \u201cnew shoes\u201d feel, but that dissipated the more holes I played.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A design feature I really liked was the extra padding at the Achilles, which locked in my heels.\u00a0 The cut around the ankles was generous and left me free of any pinch points.\u00a0 The end of the tongue on the adidas Adipower 26 BOA Spikeless Golf Shoes, which was a bit stiffer than the laced version, did dig into my ankle slightly.\u00a0 It turned out not be a nuisance, only noticeable during my initial wearing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Performance<\/p>\n

I found the adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes a nice blend of mobility and stability.\u00a0 Addressing the golf ball, the structure of the shoes subtly directed my weight to the outside of my heels.\u00a0 As someone who more than occasionally sways, I loved the anchored feel.\u00a0 During downswing, the twist across my midfoot felt unrestricted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for walking, the adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes offered natural flow and nice cushioning under foot.\u00a0 I don\u2019t recall previously wearing an adidas shoe with their Repetitor cushioning material, but I liked the supportive feel and was interested to learn that the technology \u201cprovides consistent energy return.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the traction front, the adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes were really strong.\u00a0 The depth of the triangular lugs dug into the turf fairly aggressively.\u00a0 The spacing of all the traction elements kept the sole from getting clogged with dirt and debris.\u00a0 The flex provided by the integration of the Repititor material made me feel connected to the ground regardless of terrain variances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The adidas Adipower 26 BOA Spikeless Golf Shoes once again reminded me how much I like the BOA Fit System.\u00a0 The micro-adjustability makes dialing in fit so simple and uniform.\u00a0 To start with, the BOA Fit System made the break in period for these shoes more manageable, snugging up the fit as the shoes started to conform to my feet.\u00a0 What I most appreciate about of the BOA Fit System is the ability to tighten the fit as needed throughout my rounds.\u00a0 With my laced shoes I typically give them a re-tie mid round \u2013 often a few holes later than I should.\u00a0 Having a solid fit all the time certainly aids in performance.

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

The adidas Adipower 26 Spikeless Golf Shoes offer golfers a nice blend of performance and style.\u00a0 I\u2019m still not 100% certain that going up a half size wouldn\u2019t be better for me, and I highly recommend trying on a pair in a brick and mortar store if possible.\u00a0 Regardless, give them some break-in time before heading out on an extended golf holiday.\u00a0 And if you\u2019ve never tried golf shoes with the BOA Fit System, the Adipower 26 BOA Spikeless Golf Shoes would be a great model to start with \u2013 a very user friendly design.
