Latina is a new addition to Duca del Cosma’s extensive range of women’s golf shoes, which has been introduced at a slightly lower price point to join the Italian brand’s fashion-forward collection.
Like many of the latest women’s golf shoes, the design leans more towards sneakers than traditional golf shoes, so I was keen to find out how it compared in terms of comfort and performance, as one of the best women’s golf shoes for 2025.
It is an eye-catcher, as the bright pink and mint green strips that highlight the smooth white upper and the fancy lacing system really stand out. This is complemented by green and light beige around the heel counter with a nice leather heel pull tab. This is the only colorway available in this model, and while these are not colors that I’m immediately drawn to, I must admit, they do create a vibrant and refreshing vibe. They look and feel durable, they’re certainly not heavy, but not as lightweight as G/Fore’s MG4+ O2 G/Lock or FootJoy’s Quantum spikeless golf shoe.
I wore these shoes straight out of the box and didn’t get any rubbing or pinching. The upper is flexible, with just enough structure to keep its shape without feeling stiff. I appreciated the padded heel and the removable insole as this adds extra comfort and cushioning with noticeable arch support. The fit runs slightly on the narrow side, so if you’re between sizes or tend to need a roomier fit, it might be worth trying the next size up.
Performance-wise, this shoe does everything I needed it to. The Airplay Roma outsole is robust with small strategically placed nubs and these gave me a secure grip. I never felt like I was slipping and I felt stable during my swing and while walking the course. It’s worth mentioning that these shoes also have a waterproof bootie system to keep your feet dry, and if you want to make a bolder statement, you can swap the laces from white to pink.
These shoes are clearly made with care and attention to detail, just like Duca del Cosma's Olivera 2, so for anyone wanting a sneaker-style shoe that looks a bit different from the array of women’s golf shoes out there, this one delivers.
