The Skechers Go Golf Torque Pro is the comfort pick in value golf shoes: Skechers' famous cushioned, walk-all-day feel, made waterproof and stable enough for the golf swing, at a price that undercuts the big golf-shoe brands.
Skechers built its reputation on comfort, and the Go Golf line brings that reputation to the course without losing it in translation. The Torque Pro feels like a comfortable trainer from the first step — soft, cushioned and forgiving — which is exactly what a golfer who walks wants over four or five miles of a round. Crucially, it does that while adding the two things a golf shoe actually needs: a genuine waterproof protection so wet grass and early-morning dew do not soak your feet, and a stable, grippy sole that gives you a base to swing from.
Comfort, grip and waterproofing
The Torque Pro's cushioned midsole is its calling card — few golf shoes at this price are as easy on the feet across a full walking round. Underneath, it is a spiked shoe: Skechers builds it on a traction plate with replaceable Softspikes, which is why it grips wet and sloping ground better than the molded soles most value shoes use. Its waterproof upper handles the wet grass and rain most golfers actually play in. What it is not is the firmest, most locked-in platform for an aggressive, ground-loading swing — that is a trade the cushioning makes, and our spiked versus spikeless comparison covers the wider choice.
Who it's for — and who should look elsewhere
Buy the Torque Pro if your priority is all-day comfort for walking, you want waterproofing and soft-spike grip, and you value spending less — and if you can still find your size, which is now the real question. Skechers lists the shoe as sold out on its own product page and the line has moved on to the Torque 2 and Torque Sport 2, so the Amazon listing is end-of-line stock. That is why it no longer leads our best value golf shoes or best shoes for walking lists: the shoe did not get worse, it just got hard to buy. Look elsewhere if you have a fast, aggressive swing and want the firmest, most locked-in base — a stiffer, spiked shoe will feel more stable — or if you specifically want the traditional structured feel of a classic golf shoe rather than a cushioned trainer feel.
The value verdict
The Torque Pro is a near-perfect value shoe for the walking golfer who wants comfort above all: it nails the things you feel every step — cushioning, waterproofing, everyday wearability — and skips the tour branding you pay extra for. For most golfers, a comfortable, waterproof shoe they will happily walk in beats a firmer, pricier shoe they endure. Spend where it matters: your feet touch every shot through your footing, and comfort keeps you walking.
