One of the reasons I have gone away from cleats is that they tend to wear down way too quickly. Essentially, it is the way Nike has been able to make the shoe super supportive without adding extra weight. These are what is called “Flywire” and it is the source of the support. Style wise, the Nike Lunar Control is slightly athletic looking but also reasonably traditional (unless you get the red trimmed pair like I have). One of the accent colors you will notice on the shoe is the red lines that go across the middle and through the Nike logo. Lets face it, the swoosh is worn by nearly all of the greatest athletes in the world so it is no shocker that the the Lunar Control can be seen any given Sunday on the feet of a ton of PGA players. What I really noticed is that I never notice them which is a pretty good indicator of how comfortable they are.Īdmittedly, I have a tendency to bash the big brands mostly because I root for the little guy, but the reality is that Nike knows a thing or two about making shoes. The support is awesome, they are super light, and while they are not minimalist, they do not seem bulky or raised far above the ground. However, in the case of the Lunar Control, I have kind of fallen in love with them. Since I have mostly given up spiked golf shoes except for when I do a review, I tend to approach the situation with some negative bias. I think they basically split the difference right down the middle and fall into the category of damn fine golf shoes.

They are not barefoot, street, retro or progressive, but they are also not boring or traditionalist. This is how I would describe the Nike Lunar Control golf shoes.
