More and more golf shoes in 2025 are managing to bridge the gap between performance on the course and a look that works away from the course. TravisMathew is an example of a brand that excels here and the Daily Pro Hybrid Plus shoe is the latest in a long line of shoes that fit the bill perfectly. So much so that we selected them for our Editor's Choice Awards in 2025.

Building on the Daily Pro Hybrid shoe, which looked great in pretty much all settings but didn’t offer the weather protection serious golfers were after, the Daily Pro Hybrid Plus adds a waterproof upper to enhance the overall appeal. Importantly, this has been executed in a way that maintains the off-the-course versatility with a clean, fuss-free design and a choice of four colors to match them to your favorite pair of golf pants.
These shoes are very much athletic in their design - there’s plenty of mobility in the shoe, which some golfers will love although others may want the structure and stability the best spiked shoes offer. These shoes are true to size and fitted snugly without pinching in key areas, meaning the comfort on offer was impressive. They aren’t super soft underfoot, but there’s enough padding to cushion the blows as you walk and put a small spring in your step.
The grip from the spikeless outsole was ample - I certainly didn’t feel myself slipping while making an aggressive swing, but nor did I test these shoes in really wet conditions. Like most golfers, if the course was really wet I’d opt for a pair of cleated shoes, but I’m confident these would do a good job for any golfer most of the year in terms of traction. This is down to the plentiful rubber nubs that did a good job of holding my feet in position. The outsole also struck the perfect balance of offering some movement for walking comfort as well an element of rigidity to boost the stability on offer.
We’re all looking for value for money in today’s economic climate and there’s plenty on offer here given the versatility of the outsole and the look. The waterproof synthetic upper wipes clean incredibly easily, just enhancing its case when weighing up the best spikeless golf shoes of 2025.
