From Grass to Simulators: How to Prep Your Golf Shoes for the Off-Season
Share
Columbus golfers, your season does not end. It just moves indoors. Your shoes should make that transition too.
Why simulator prep matters
Tracking in grass and clay from the course hurts traction on turf mats and can scuff simulator floors. Debris adds weight, stiffens flex points, and dulls cushioning in modern golf sneakers like Jordan 1 G, Nike Air Max 90 G, Roshe G, and similar styles from adidas and Puma. Clean shoes help you keep a consistent stance and swing feel at indoor spots around Columbus, Dublin, Polaris, and Westerville.
3 step transition plan
-
Dry brush and wipe
Knock off dirt and grass with a soft brush. Avoid soaking knit or mesh uppers. Use a slightly damp microfiber on leather panels. -
Deep clean
This is where we shine. At Clean Kicks 614 we remove embedded debris, brighten midsoles and outsoles, and revive materials without harsh scrubbing or bleaching. -
Deodorize and protect
Finish with odor control and a water repellent. Protection helps on simulator turf and for those surprise warm winter rounds in Ohio.
Pro tips for modern golf sneakers
- Leather panels use light foam cleaner and circular motion with a microfiber.
- Knit uppers avoid over wetting. Use foam and a soft brush, then air dry.
- Outsoles and spikes clear every groove. Traction starts here.
