Though Arnold Palmer-era knit sportswear has made a comeback through menswear trends, the golf scene isn’t buying it. The sport of golf has modernized and continues to get younger, trading plaid knickers in for performance fabrics from new brands that continue to redefine what’s cool—including the shoe game. And while the best golf shoes today can cost upward of $250, Men’s Journal spotted one popular style from rising star G/Fore that’s nearly $100 off right now.
The G/Fore MG4+ Golf Shoes are now on sale at PGA Tour Superstore starting at $130—up to a 42% discount on the original price of $225. There are currently three discounted colors to choose from that are available in sizes 8 to 13. This is a bestselling style from premium brand G/Fore and one with a very unique attribute.

These golf shoes are a crisp balance of lightweight and hardy. Its fully waterproof synthetic upper locks out moisture while the non-slip rubber outsole provides ample traction thanks to two different tread patterns. Comfort is key with golf shoes, and that’s where the MG4+ shines. Not only is there a bouncy EVA midsole that provides shock-absorbing comfort for the days the carts are broken, but this shoe features the brand’s signature nubbed footbed that provides a sort of acupressure sensation to quell angry feet in stride.
More thought is going into golf apparel and footwear today than ever during this recent revival period. It’s a shift that has attracted new products and sparked more creativity from brands like Malbon, Chubbies, and even William Murray, which is a line inspired by the golf life of Bill Murray and his brothers. But there aren’t many footwear companies making cooler styles than G/Fore right now, and many shoppers would agree.

Shoppers love the G/Fore MG4+ Golf Shoes because they’re lightweight and easy to wear, offer a new way to think about style on the golf course, and, above all, feel amazing. “Incredibly comfortable,” one shopper stated. “Already have eight walking rounds in them. The insole is so, so comfortable with small bumps that almost massage your feet as you walk… I used to wear Ecco and these are the new go-to, already bought a second pair without laces.”
It’s a shoe that seems to convert once-diehard brand loyalists with ease. “This is my first pair of G/Fore’s and I love them,” another shopper said. “I was previously a Nike golf shoe guy but I’ve heard great things about these shoes and they did not disappoint. Stylish and super comfortable.”
Are there cheaper golf shoes? Yes. But for $95 off, the G/Fore MG4+ offers a unique split between classy and cool that allows your charming personality to shine through. We’re not sure how long the deal will last, so if you’ve been looking for a great pair of golf shoes that look good, perform well, and feel great, pick up a pair of these while the getting is good.
