Adidas tour 360 4.0 vs. 3.0

Other than the fact that you can get the 3.0 for $79 (give or take), the 4.0
are definitely cut wider and more true to traditional sizing.

I'm a 9 wide and the 3.0 were miserably uncomfortable until I broke them in,
2 months later.

The 4.0 (9 wide) are butter right out of the gate.

I haven't played them yet but I have worn them around the house. They're lighter and are lower to the ground. I wear a 10.5 Nike and got these in a 10W. I'n not 100% I'm going to keep them and I have another week to decide. I might return these for a credit and hope that Golf Galaxy gets the AdiPure's.

I tried a pair of the 3.0 and 4.0's on and found the 4's a comfortable fit from box to foot. The 3's felt to stiff in the leather. Also the THinTech design on the 4.0 was very noticeable. I'm 6'6" and the less sole or heel is a benefit for me. I did find the 4.0's appeared to give a pigeon toe look. I like the looks of the 3.0 and $99 price tag but I need a shoe that I'm totally feeling right in. I will probably end up with the 4.0's. Can find them on eBay for under $120

I think its the Pigeon toe look that you speak of that makes me wonder what these shoes will look like after I actually use them and they stretch out.

Thanks guys. After much thought, I think I'll just wait and try them on in a store before I get them. Just want to make sure. Also I can get 3.0 on ebay for I think $80 and the 4.0 for $119. Is the 4.0 that much better to pay the extra price?

I've tried the 3.0 in the store and they felt good, quite stable. Can really feel like you'll stick to the ground. The only thing is, the sole does seem to be quite thick. I currently own the 4.0s and they are great. Still very stable yet you dont feel like you are wearing lifts. The width definitely feels more comfy and I didnt need any break in time. Out of the box they were great. I wear 8.5M as an FYI. I own the 360 I's and II's and the 4.0 are better than those in terms of stability. The comfiness is slightly better than both of those I believe. Dont think you'll go wrong with the 3.0 or 4.0s but personally I like the 4.0s. Only gripe is that the toes of the 4.0s do look a little pointy but it's not bad when u take everything else into account.

Tried the 4.0's on and they were very comfortable, but couldn't get over the stitching on the toe section. Definitely gave it that "pidgeon toe" effect someone mentioned earlier. In the end, I figured the last thing I wanted to see or think about while looking down at a birdie putt was the fact I don't like the stitching on my shoes.

I use the middle seam on the 4.0's for alignment. If you flare your feet slightly, the middle seam squares up. So when I look down I make sure both seams on both feet are square to each other. Now my toe line is perfect. I think they did this on purpose. Just a thought.

tried the 4.0 & 3.0's on again today. the 4.0 seems wider and yes they do have a "pointy toe" like mentioned in a earlier post. the 3.0 was much tighter and narrower, I tried the same size on in both. in the 3.0 I would probably go up a 1/2 size. I couldn't really notice a huge difference in the heel. I set them side by side and maybe a 1/2" difference. is that enough to make a difference in a swing...I doubt it. I'm having trouble getting past that stitching on the 4.0, even the laces go left to right. I like the looks of the 3.0 better ...... anyone else having this tough decision?

Well I went with the 4.0. And it's mainly cause I couldn't find my size and color in the 3.0's I wanted. So I pulled the trigger and got them. They are nice and they fit me just like the 3.0's. I got a 9 1/2 wide. Feel nice and look nice. Price was good too. $129 on ebay with shipping.

Ehhhh, I tried the 4.0 and the only difference I noticed is it's a little wider.

I agree , but did you find there was more heel to the 3.0 vs. the 4.0?

Having had all 3 of previous 360 Tour models, I think the 4.0 sole design would last longer than any of the previous one since it is now 1 piece.

have a pair of Adidas 360 3.0's on the way. tried a pair of the 3.0 and 4.0's on and just can't get past the pigeon toe look and curved stitching on the 4.0's. went by other threads saying "go up a 1/2 size". so 3.0 it is, hope they are the right fit.

Got my 3.0's as a warranty replacement for my old Tour 360 2.0's. They are firmer than the 4.0's I tried on. I did not have some of the blistering issues that others have, but I have an extremely narrow foot. The heel pad is a little firm, but I think that will break in over time. The 4.0's felt more like a slipper as they were pretty close to the ground with the new cleat technology. When I first saw the 4.0's there was a $75 price difference over the 3.0's, so I went with the 3.0's. If you can get the 4.0's at a low price. Go with them!

it is my understanding that the 3.0 and the 4.0 both have the ThinTech cleat technology.

4.0's have advanced thintech, which is mainly the new thintech spike.

Nah, 3.0 uses normal fast twist cleats.

but both have the thinner or lower heel/sole than the standard golf shoe? the only change is the spikes?

It seems based on what I have read I may be the only person who think these run a little small

I tried a 4.0 and the 3.0 in the same size and I agree, the 3.0 definitely fits smaller than the 4.0, also the 3.0's a little narrower IMO

I've had all 3 models of the 360's and I just purchased the 4.0 They may actually be more comfortable then the LTD's.

The 3.0s shredded my heals in 9 holes, they suck. I would rather have the old FJs I prematurely discarded. No more experimenting for me with shoes. =) maverick

Everyone's foot is different, they suck to you. Maybe you didn't get the right size..... who knows.

I have some FJs coming and Adidas is replacing my 'defective' pair. If you do a google search on Adidas golf shoe reviews the heal problem is apparent as it shows up everywhere so I doubt it is just me.

My foot size remains constant so I think it is the shoes. I have [b][/b]never[i][/i] had a pair of FJs that did not fit comfortably out of the box. =) maverick

Add if you google the same thing for FJ, you see the same issues. Adidas shoes run smaller than FJ's, they won't always be the right fit.

I own the originals, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0; each pair has gotten better than its predecessor.

I've worn Adidas shoes for many years, and I had to drop half a size for the 4.0 - first time I've bought less than a 10 in any shoe since I was a kid. So yeah, they're small.

i had 3.0 i had to go up half a size. They did not last very well and stretched really bad across the front of the foot. They also squeak when you walk. Buy Ecco's they are alot more sturdy and comfortable.

This seems to be one of those problems were it either bothers you or not. My left shoe was perfect but the right almost disabled me. I tried tightening them up but I think the back it a bit too high.

I do know that they are trying to improve this as demonstrated by your comment. I also notice each version gets less and less complaints. I have the latest ones coming so we will see. In the meantime I have some FJ Icon Asymmetrical shoes being delivered tomorrow.

I usually walk so this is very important to me. =) maverick
BTW, these are a wide and feel like a med.which is what I wear.
