The golf shoe market has exploded with functional, fashionable choices for women and the Puma Ignite Blaze 2 is bang-on trend with its trainer-like look. It’s the sort of shoe you’ll be happy wearing anywhere, not just to the golf course, due to the simple, sleek styling.
When I slipped this shoe on I was instantly aware of how fantastic the support and the foam padding felt. It really did cushion my foot exactly where needed, with ample padding in the heel, sides and tongue of the shoe around the laces.

The under foot soft inner sole also felt fantastic, putting a spring in my step. This meant that right from round one it was one of the most comfortable golf shoes for women. It was just like wearing my favorite pair of trainers to the gym, and if it wasn’t for the spikes, I would have definitely considered this.
What the patented flex spikes do, though, is add that extra level of grip, which I think is really important, because during a round of golf you can encounter all sorts of awkward stances and lies.
Where some trainer-style shoes fail and don’t give adequate grip, the Puma Blaze 2 have spikes that win top marks from me. What that means is you will feel more grounded and stable during the golf swing move and that in turn will help you add speed.
There’s a very limited choice of colours, so if you are not a fan of a pure white shoe then you’ll want to look elsewhere, however the little pop of colour around the rim of the sole does just give that little bit more interest and a feminine touch.
I have quite a wide foot and suffer with bunions but these shoes had plenty of room to accommodate my awkward toes without pressing painfully on the bone. If you have a narrow foot you can also pull on the laces tight to adjust the fit accordingly.
At £120 a pair they aren’t the cheapest shoe option from this season's best women's golf shoes, but they do come with a one-year waterproof guarantee and in terms of performance and playability you are certainly getting what you pay for. I anticipate wearing these for the whole of the summer season before switching back to my trusty black golf boots for the wet and moist day winter months.
