I wear black athletic shoe-style golf shoes with black or white socks, long or short pants, and don't think twice. Usually white ankle socks when wearing shorts. If I'm wearing long pants I would probably tend toward black socks unless I'm wearing light-colored pants. However, I wouldn't sweat it unless it was with black (or near-black, though I don't have any) pants.

If I had dress-style shoes I might think about it, but I think those are silly with shorts, and uncomfortable for me regardless of their color.

If it is indeed slushy, definitely wear the black shoes! I wore all white shoes the other day in slushy conditions... wow, big mistake..

I wish you could tell me my bags all white leather.

Well, first I would say your married so who cares what you look like on the course (unless you're a pro)... But then the 1st lesson I ever received was if your going to lose, look good doing it!

my only golf shoes are all black dryjoys so i have no choice.  you just have to pair them up with some black ankle socks and you're ok.  any other socks and i'd say no.

I would agree with the last post about the black ankle socks. Ha ha. In golf fashion as long as you aren't rocking acid wash jeans on the course why not.

For clarification these are all black...not saddles.


I just picked up some of these....black FJ BOA's due to comfort. Also have a couple of the white/brown ones.

I'm curious, too, what the fashion police will say about them with shorts - I figure I'll put some black socks on - and maybe coordinate w/ darker shirts, but don't have any black shorts - maybe I ought to get some. Florida is hot when you're wear black, though.

No fashion police here, but I wear black shoes, black 1/4 crew socks with black shorts all the time.  First time I wore them I felt self conscious but now I actually prefer the look over white shoes with black shorts.

I got a pair of black Nike shoes from my father as a Christmas gift, so it looks like now I'll need to buy some black ankle socks so the fashion police don't come after me.

Wait, will they only come after me if I'm on the course? What about the driving range? An indoor simulator? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh too many golf fashion rules!

Definitely wear black socks. As someone with pasty Irish skin, I look like a complete fool with black shoes on, but some people can pull it off with no problem.

I could start the trend (along with my loudmouth clothing) - problem is my black nikes are not as durable as my white footjoys

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
