Puma has always been a brand that excels when discussing the best golf shoes. From the four or five models I've tested over the last few years, they have always been comfortable, high quality and, above all, stylish. It's latest offering in the spiked golf shoe space is the Phantomcat Nitro, a shoe that is boasting one of the most unique outsoles I've ever seen and a big departure from Puma shoes gone by. Has the risk paid off? Well, I took them out onto the golf course for a couple of rounds to see what it was all about.
The headline new tech comes on the outsole which has debuted a totally new Flexspike integrated cleat and some flash colors to boot. This has been re-imagined by Puma from the ground up and there's no arguing it is a unique design like no other I've ever seen on the best spiked golf shoes before. Sure, we've seen integrated cleats on the likes of the Adidas Tour360 22 before, but this is the first time in a while a brand has taken the plunge again.
