Golf shoes characterized by having differential inward beveling (14) on the edges of their soles to promote a proper golf swing to be improved by the incorporation into each shoe of a rigidly mounted substantially non-deformable heel counter (16). The heel counter (16) can grip the golfer's heel and allows the shoes to more completely proximate the proper golf swing. It is also disclosed that such golf shoes can employ an external heel counter support (17) adhered to the sole and to the upper of the shoe to provide further support in this area. It is also disclosed that the outer portions of the sole of the right shoe for the right-handed golfer (or left for the left-handed golfer) can be cantilevered and/or flaired (20) outward for additional resistance to swaying and/or pivoting in that direction during the golf backswing. In this embodiment, the placement of the spikes or cleats (23, 23a) on the flaired shoe can advantageously be wider than the placement of the spikes or cleats on the unflaired shoe. |
