Overall, we can see why these are McIlroy’s preferred golf shoes. But that concern was soon dismissed, as we found they wipe down quickly, and mud can be brushed away from the cleats without too much hassle. While their grippy outsole makes the Victory Tour 2 a brilliant golf shoe for winter (opens in new tab), we were skeptical about how easy they would be to clean, particularly in the React foam areas. While the traction to the ground is excellent when playing most shots around the course, these shoes really delivered on softer lies, where we utilized the cleat system to plant a solid base and rip through the ball.

But after wearing them for a few holes, we noticed how much grip these shoes offered. The Victory Tour 2 also comes with a seven-way cleat system on its sole that did take a little time to get used to, especially if you usually wear spikeless golf shoes (opens in new tab) like I do.
