I’m not Ben Hogan, so I can’t honestly say that I could feel that extra spike, but I can say that the traction is excellent. You can see in the picture above that the Lunar Control 3 has added a seventh spike where the past two models had only six. It seems evident to me that Nike really values my opinion, because these are the two major changes that were made for the Lunar Control 3. If you’ve read any of my past shoe reviews, you know that two things are key for me: having great traction and being close to the ground. To me, it just comes down to a matter of preference: do you want to walk on pillows or have more of a direct connection with the ground. There’s no break in period required with these, but the feel is a bit firmer than some of the uber-soft shoes that are out there. Right out of the box they’re comfortable, stable, and well-cushioned in the key areas such as the collar around your ankle. Like all the best apparel, the Nike Lunar Control 3 is the kind of shoe that you forget you’re wearing. With regard to texture, I think this version best shows off the FlyWire construction that gives the shoe support without adding weight. Nike has always offered the Lunar Control in some toned-down colorways (black or white with platinum accents), but there are some spicy combos too: the signature white/volt seen here and platinum/crimson. With the Lunar Control 3, the two things I like most are the color combinations and the textures of the shoe. From the first generation to the present, there’s one dominant color with a large, contrast swoosh and sole, and subtle details. You can see above that for the Lunar Control 3, Nike is sticking with a similar look while making enough tweaks to keep it fresh. In my opinion, however, the Nike Lunar Control 3 is that rare shoe that delivers the optimal balance of performance, style, and comfort No matter what your priority is – comfort, traction, support – you can find a shoe to meet your needs.

There are lots of great golf shoes on the market. The Nike Lunar Control 3 golf shoe is another improvement on the best all-around shoe in golf.
