Quick Answer — Foot Care for Golfers
Walking 18 holes covers 4-5 miles with carrying or riding stress on your feet — leading to plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and Achilles tendinopathy. Best practices: properly fitted spiked or spikeless golf shoes (replace every 100-150 rounds), moisture-wicking socks (alternate pairs midway through round), arch supports for flat feet, calf and Achilles stretches before tee-off, and post-round ice for 10 minutes. For tournament play: bring 2 pairs to alternate. If you have foot pain affecting your stance, swing weight transfer, or post-round soreness, see a podiatrist.
