Callaway Women's La Jolla SL Golf Shoe - Lightweight Waterproof 5mm

In this review of the Callaway Women's La Jolla SL golf shoe the bottom line is simple: these are a comfortable, waterproof spikeless shoe ideal for women who want golf-ready traction without the bulk of traditional spiked footwear. The reviewer found the blend of a microfiber leather upper with a molded textile heel and Opti-Dri treatment delivered day-long dryness and a sporty look, while the Forged DX EVA midsole and 5mm PLUSfoam insole delivered a soft, natural ground feel. If you play multiple rounds or walk the course often, the La Jolla SL balances support and lightweight comfort.

Key Features

• Waterproof upper: The microfiber leather with Opti-Dri treatment keeps feet dry in damp conditions while maintaining a polished, sporty appearance.
• Molded performance heel: A textile molded heel adds rear-foot stability so the foot feels secure during swings and walking.
• Forged DX EVA midsole: Provides a responsive, natural ground feel that reduces fatigue over prolonged walking on the course.
• Spikeless dura-rubber outsole: Multi-directional traction lugs offer grip on turf and versatility to wear off the course without transferring grass stains.
• 5mm PLUSfoam insole: Extra cushioning underfoot for added comfort that customers describe as similar to running shoes.
• Waterproof warranty: A 1 Year limited waterproof warranty gives added assurance for regular players.

Who It's For

These shoes suit recreational and avid women golfers who walk the course and want a lightweight, waterproof shoe that looks like an athletic sneaker. The La Jolla SL is especially good for players who prioritize day-long cushioning and a soft midsole feel without sacrificing traction on wet grass.

Players who need aggressive spiked traction on very steep or muddy terrain should look elsewhere, and golfers who require a very precise or narrow fit might want to try on multiple sizes as fit feedback is mixed.
