Buying golf shoes wholesale is one of the best ways for retailers, pro shops and online sellers to improve margins and control their range. But bulk buying also brings questions: what prices are realistic, how many pairs you need to start, which styles to choose and how fast you can restock. This guide answers them, using real numbers from our own range.
Who buys golf shoes wholesale?
- Golf retailers and pro shops that want their own range alongside big brands, at better margins.
- Online sellers on Amazon, Shopify, eBay and regional marketplaces.
- Importers and distributors supplying sporting goods stores in their country.
- Brand owners who start with stock models and later move to their own logo.
- Golf clubs, academies and corporate buyers ordering shoes for members, teams or events.
What do wholesale golf shoes cost?
Prices depend on construction, materials, closure system and order size. As a reference, FOB prices for stock models in our current range are:
| Category | Models | FOB reference price per pair |
|---|---|---|
| Men's spiked | 8 | US$26.99 – 29.99 |
| Men's spikeless | 8 | US$22.00 – 28.03 |
| Women's spiked | 4 | US$26.99 – 29.99 |
| Women's spikeless | 6 | US$21.99 – 28.03 |
| Unisex | 4 | US$22.99 – 30.30 |
These are FOB reference prices in USD for stock models. Final prices depend on quantity, customization and packaging. FOB means you also pay freight, insurance and import duties — read our importing guide to estimate your landed cost.
What drives the price?
- Outsole type: spiked outsoles with cleat receptacles usually cost a little more than molded spikeless soles.
- Closure: rotary dial lacing adds cost compared with standard laces.
- Upper design: saddle, wingtip and brogue details involve more pattern pieces and stitching.
- Customization: your logo, special colorways and branded packaging add cost per pair but build your brand.
How many pairs do you need to start?
This is where wholesale buying has changed. You no longer need thousands of pairs to start:
- Stock models: from 1 pair — you can mix models, colors and sizes. We keep around 200,000 pairs in our warehouse.
- Your own logo: from 300 pairs.
A practical approach for a first order is to test several models in small quantities, see what your customers buy, then reorder the winners in larger quantities or with your logo.
How to choose styles for a wholesale order
A balanced range covers different customers without too many SKUs. A typical starting mix:
- A classic spiked style for traditional and frequent golfers — for example a heritage saddle.
- An athletic spikeless style for comfort-focused and younger golfers — such as our six-color rotary-lace X556.
- A women's style in on-trend colors — see our women's golf shoe wholesale guide.
- A value or unisex style to cover entry price points and simplify sizing — for example the G8001 in EU 36–48.

Sizes and size ratios
For each style, order a realistic size curve — more pairs in the middle sizes, fewer in the extremes. Our wholesale sizing guide includes an example ratio and tips for EU/US/UK sizing.
Lead times and restocking
- Stock models can ship quickly because they are already made — useful for reorders in season.
- Samples: about 15 days.
- Bulk production and custom orders: about 35 days after sample approval and deposit.
For seasonal markets, place custom orders well before the season and use stock reorders to top up best sellers.
Product content for online sellers
If you sell online, good product images are as important as the shoes. For stock designs, ask your supplier for white-background product photos and lifestyle photos — every model on our website has both. This saves time and cost when you list new products.
Wholesale buying checklist
- Confirm price terms (FOB, CIF, DDP) and calculate landed cost
- Order samples of every model you plan to stock
- Agree on the size curve per model
- Confirm packaging, barcodes and labeling for your market
- Get payment terms in writing on the proforma invoice
- Plan reorders from stock for your best sellers
