Golf Shoes � Ladies Golf Shoes � Functionality over Style

Women love stilettos but when it comes to playing golf the heels should be kept in the closet � invest in a good pair of ladies golf shoes.

Keep your shoes on!

Parting women from their shoes isn't easy. Mariah Carey perhaps is the ultimate example of how ladies golf shoes don't always do it for women with a certain image to uphold. When she attended her first golf lesson to learn how to putt, she was gob smacked at the ladies golf shoes on offer, let alone the polo golf shirts with a collar and sensible trousers. And like all self-respecting pop divas, she refused to be practical or functional and opted for looking good instead. �I went out on the links in three-inch high heels and barely anything on and they didn't mind. I'm now seriously contemplating designing sexy women's golf clothes,� Carey told an American radio show.

Rejecting ladies golf shoes

In America , ladies and men's golf shoes with hard spikes have been banned in favor of the softer grip designs to protect the fairways. So the idea of stilettos punching holes in the green would not go down well, even if she is a pop princess. But she's not alone. In an interview with Golf for Women, young female golfer Christina Kim swapped her ladies golf shoes for Manolo Blahnik stilettos and a tightly fitting striped sleeveless polo shirt before walking across the green, digging her heels into the precious grass.

Look after your shoes

Okay, so ladies golf shoes may not be in the same league as Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo but players should look after their golf shoes and keep them looking new. Ladies can still look stylish on the green with a smart pair of golf shoes.

Tips on maintaining ladies golf shoes:

• On new shoes, saddle soap helps protect ladies golf shoes from grime. After use, wipe the shoes with a soft towel, mild soap and warm water and pat dry.
• Waterproofing shoe protector cream will help maintain the shoe. Apply every six months.
• A toothbrush is a great way to clean the synthetic parts of ladies golf shoes to reach the grime and soil.
• If you try and dry out washed or damp ladies golf shoes by the radiator you could ruin them � the heat will damage the leather. The best way to dry ladies golf shoes is to stuff them with newspaper and leave them overnight, than adding shoe trees to keep the shape of the shoe in place.
• If you are a keen and frequent golfer you should invest in more than one set of ladies golf shoes and rotate the shoes to give them time to dry.
