It took golf manufacturers some time to realise that lady golfers were here to stay and that lady golfers would require their own clubs and accessories and, even, golf shoes that could be used, exclusively, by lady golfers.
Mary, Queen of Scots, was purported to be an avid golfing enthusiast and is speculated to have given the word caddy to the world of golf. In France, where Mary spent her childhood, it was customary for military cadets to transport golf clubs and when Mary returned to Scotland this altered from cadet to caddy. However, when Mary played golf in the mid 16th century, there would have been no concessions made for how lady golfers? game differed from men?s and, certainly, no special clothing, designed clubs nor shoes.
In fact, it would not be until the 1940?s, some 400 years too late for Mary, Queen of Scot?s round of golf, that ladies golf shoes would appear on the market, albeit, a cut down version of men?s golf shoes.
Modern lady golfers are spoilt for choice when it comes to golf shoes. FootJoy, Callaway and Nike all offer a tremendous range of colours, styles, fits and materials, of ladies golf shoes and are the last word in comfort:
