5. Cooling Cuff - The Solution to Excessive Body Heat
Available on Amazon.
A veteran-owned business, Cooling Cuff is solely focused on helping your body cool down properly. Wear it on the wrist, the optimal place to cool the body due to specialized skin that releases a disproportionate amount of heat. Cooling the body at the wrist can alter thermoregulation, rapidly lower core body temperature, and quickly restore temperature homeostasis. Designed for a full range of motion to remove heat from the skin much faster than sweating, it’s perfect for workout sessions, outdoor activities, or just staying cool all summer long. 
6. Therrasage Insoles - perfect for golfers $29
Sizes: Medium, Large, Extra Large
The therassage mission is to improve the quality of your life. We do so by brining you the comfort, stability and durability to bounce back no matter what comes your way. Therassage is a massage for the sole. Absorbs impact and helps reduce fatigue. Insole "floats" foot on a cool cushion of massaging fluid to absorb shock and filled all spaces between foot and shoe.

8. adidas Solarthon Golf Shoes - Great comfort, made with recycled materials
www.adidas.com
Solarthon, an ultra-lightweight and comfortable footwear option that’s designed to keep feet feeling fresh all day long. To usher-in the summer season, we’re starting out by releasing this in a limited-edition colorway.
Solarthon was ultimately inspired by the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, where prolonged daylight motivates golfers to make the most of the extra time.
“Golfers get excited this time of year because there are more hours of sunlight, which ultimately translates into the opportunity to play more of the sport they love,” said Masun Denison, global director of footwear, adidas Golf. “We wanted to capture that excitement and eagerness to maximize their time on the course, so we created this lightweight, comfortable option to help keep them playing, even if it’s from dawn to dusk.”
Solarthon features a full-length BOOST midsole for incredible comfort along with a spikeless Fishscale Traxion outsole to provide grip and stability when golfers need it most. We also included a film around the edges of the upper to make it water resistant and guard against that early morning dew when golfers first head out to the course. This limited edition features our PRIMEBLUE textile upper – a high-performance recycled yarn containing at least 50 percent Parley Ocean Plastic. It’s another example of how we are working towards our mission to help END PLASTIC WASTE.
Ensuring that golfers got the support and stability they needed to go along with all-day comfort was critical when designing the shoe. To make them ready for the course, we put in an external TPU heel counter along with additional reinforcements in the upper so that golfers will have that locked-in feeling both during the swing and as they walk the course.
This limited-edition gray, blue and white colorway will be available beginning June 15 while supplies last on adidas.com, the adidas app, and at select retailers worldwide.
