- Is the New Balance 997 Golf M waterproof?
- Yes. The upper is built with a waterproof membrane, so it handles dew and light rain. It is not a Gore-Tex model, so breathability is more limited than Gore-Tex shoes.
- Does it come in wide sizes?
- Yes. It is offered in normal, wide and extra-wide widths, which is a big advantage for players who struggle to fit standard golf shoes.
- Are the spikes removable?
- No. The 997 Golf M is spikeless, with a rubber outsole and molded traction. That makes it comfortable off the course but less aggressive in soft, wet turf than a shoe with removable spikes.
- How does it compare with the New Balance 997 Golf?
- This is the M version of the 997 Golf line, built on the same running-inspired last with a leather and microfiber upper, foam midsole and spikeless outsole. Check the specific model for membrane and width differences.
- What is the drop and weight?
- The drop is 10 mm and the weight is about 11.9 oz in a standard size. That is a mid-weight spikeless shoe, cushioned but not the lightest in its class.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the factory Ortholite insole installed. No extra spikes are included because the outsole is spikeless.
