Adidas Adizero ZG Golf Shoe Review

A low-profile, football-boot inspired spikeless shoe that delivers spike-like traction and torsional stability in a lightweight package. The Adizero ZG blends modern styling with waterproof protection and supportive power transfer, though those with wider feet should consider sizing up for the narrow, firmer fit.

The Adidas Adizero ZG takes the performance language of football boots and translates it into a golf shoe built to walk 18 holes. Its SPRINTSKIN upper and Lightstrike cushioning keep weight to a minimum while offering a responsive platform that keeps the foot close to the ground. Designers have stacked a DYNAMIC TORSION plate and SPIKEMORE spikeless outsole to give the shoe a rigid, torsion-resistant base that supports solid power transfer through the swing.

On wet turf the Adizero ZG stands out. The aggressive lug pattern and sticky rubber compound provide traction that often feels on par with spiked alternatives, while the waterproof construction means rain does not immediately degrade the upper. Stability is not a tradeoff for lightness; many golfers notice a firm, controlled ride that prevents the mushy feel some ultralight shoes produce. The BOA fit option further locks the heel and midfoot for a locked-in, micro-adjustable fit.

Fit is the shoe’s most recurrent caveat. The Adizero ZG runs narrower and a touch firmer underfoot than other Adidas models, particularly in the toe box. Golfers with wider feet will likely want to size up or try a wider width where available. There are also minor cosmetic and maintenance notes: the forefoot foam can collect dirt and the aggressive outsole may scuff delicate turf in certain conditions.

Overall the Adizero ZG is for golfers who prioritise lightweight performance, modern styling and wet-weather grip without sacrificing stability. It synthesises technology aimed at power transfer, fit security and all-weather protection, making it one of the strongest spikeless options for players who accept a snug, performance-oriented fit.
