Skechers first launched the GoGolf collection in 2018 with style and performance in mind. The GoGolf Jasmine 2 shoes are Skechers answer to comfort and traction and really fit the bill when it comes to all round great shoes.
The 100% waterproof synthetic upper really does feel and look like you’re slipping on a pair of marshmallows (in the most athletic sense of course) that will help you float around the golf course.
These are a real hybrid of traditional looking shoe combined with a trainer. They are just the right mix of casual and smart. Attractive accents of gold (Skechers logo and gold sole) make these shoes subtly classy and I’m gently in love with them. The white with gold will go with every single outfit I own so they’re a quick wardrobe selection. Add to that they perform brilliantly and feel very stable when you swing. Skechers are onto a winner here.
Let’s talk traction. The sole is peppered with grip thanks to the GRIPFLEX spikeless TPU outsole. Add to this the addition of 5 soft spike pulsar spikes and you’ve got grip in just the right places. Not quite at the same level of FootJoy’s HyperFlex or Adidas 360 but these do the job beautifully. The fact these spikes are replaceable gives the Jasmine 2 shoes a decent lifespan that means they are a great investment.
As soon as you slip these shoes on your feet feel like they’ve been enveloped in magic marshmallows that surely must make you a better golfer. The pillow soft Reactive Move Foam insole is like a hug for your soles. I walked hard hilly golf courses in these shoes in the heat and I’ll admit to them being amongst the most comfortable I’ve ever played in. Temperatures were mid 20’s and my feet did not at any point overheat. Much like FootJoy Flex shoes these performed like a running shoe from a breathability point of view, yet they look less trainer like than the Flex and stand up in the wetter, muddy conditions.
Although Skechers have them listed under Athletic Trainers on their website I feel these are at the smarter end of that and would survive winter golf happily. The breathability may be partly down to the textile elements of both the upper and the insole. wicking moisture away and keep feet comfy. The synthetic materials that make up the upper on these shoes are super lightweight and easily wiped clean. I’ve spilt my coffee on them, the material feels satin to the touch and yet it wiped clean brilliantly.
All in all this is a great shoe, I always say for anyone who goes after comfort over anything else then Skechers is a good shout. The GoGolf Jasmine 2 goes beyond comfort and adds performance in making it a top class shoe choice.
