Spring golf has arrived: courses are reopening, Masters hype is in full tilt and golf manufacturers have released their latest and greatest shoes to kick off the new season.

The annual Spring golf shoe roundup is here, and this year “it’s all about the base.” The soles of golf footwear have always been about grip and traction, but the addition of colors, patterns and script have made the bottoms of shoes as attractive as the tops. Paired with the continued advances in golf shoe performance and varied style choices, choosing just one favorite pair might prove as challenging as a long-iron into the wind.

Here’s the list with key features and pricing.
