The Puma GS-X Efekt golf shoes are new for 2024, bringing a stylish sneaker look to the course with multiple benefits of traction and comfort.
Launched as a new 2024 model along with the Phantomcat Nitro and Avant models, the GS-X golf sneaker bridges the gap between performance on the golf course and versatility in everyday life.
Puma have taken the RS-X golf shoe and redesigned it to launch the GS-X, which is training shoe in all but name with unparalleled comfort from the new release.
There are many performance benefits too with the external wrapped TPU heel clip and new spikeless sole design providing stability, and lightweight EVA outsole designed to cushion. Are they as good as they sound?
Puma GS-X Efekt Golf Shoes Design & Features
The new GS-X Efekt shoes from Puma blend the style of a sneaker with the stable and secure traction of a traditional golf shoe in one neat package.
The new release features a PROFOAM EVA midsole, a lightweight material designed for cushioning and ensuring comfort and support throughout the round.
The TPU-covered mesh upper not only offers a year-round waterproof guarantee but also maintains a sleek, lifestyle-oriented aesthetic that the GS-X Efekt stands for.
Crafted from a blend of 74% synthetic and 26% textile in the upper, and 100% textile lining, the GS-X are both durable and breathable during your time on the course.
The GS-X shoe is fitted with a carbon rubber outsole equipped with a 47 hex lugs and 173 circular traction lugs design on the sole.
This intricate outsole design guarantees the grip needed in all conditions, whether you are playing in dry summer sun or in the morning dew.
The external wrapped TPU heel clip is another standout feature that has been included to provide a secure and stable fit that locks the heel in place.
The GS-X shoes come in two colour options: Black / Dark Coal and White / Feather Grey. They have a one-year waterproof guarantee.
Puma GS-X Efekt Golf Shoes Review: Are they any good?
Puma are pushing the boat out with a number of new designs for 2024 and the GS-X Efekt appeal to golfers who like the sneaker look from their golf shoes.
They are incredibly comfortable, as you might expect of a shoe built around a training shoe design, and blend on-course attire with casual wear off it.
The GS-X shoe isn’t just about looks thought. We found them to be incredibly light, easy to wear and supremely comfortable while walking the course.
They felt very secure through all swing speeds from driver off the tee to irons into greens with the new sole design providing all the traction we needed.
