Overview

Standing in front of a greenscreen golf course, he cycles through seven popular footwear brands—including Jordans, FootJoy, and G/FORE—delivering quick, opinionated judgments about the personality, skill level, and course behavior of the people who wear them.

    What golf shoe you wear says about you ⛳️

Transcript

Here's what the golf shoe you wear says about you. Jordan Highs, still to this day I refuse to believe that these are golf shoes. The Jordan Lowes are great, but Jordan Highs are quite possibly the worst golf shoe ever made. Infinity handicap. FootJoy, we all know this guy. He's a decent golfer, but sometimes can take things a little too seriously and sometimes has one too many drinks on the golf worse. But the FootJoy golfer is always going to respect the golf course. 7.2 handicap. Skechers, say whatever you want, but these things are unbelievably comfortable, and they're starting to come out with some designs that aren't half bad. 14.6 handicap. Olukai, you're not out on the golf course to make a statement with your shoes. You're out there to be comfortable, and that is exactly what Olukai gives you. 10.1 handicap. G four. I could almost guarantee you you are in a fraternity in college. You're addicted to zens, and you probably could have played at some form of competitive level if you had an ounce of motivation. Scratch golfer, Adidas, they make some of the worst looking golf shoes, but they are comfortable. 15.5 handicap. Painter good shoes. They have taken over the golf world. Jason Day is wearing them. Sam Burns is wearing them. And I can guarantee you anybody that you know is wearing them will have nothing but great things to say about them. 10 handicap.
